A.M. Links: House Suing Obama, Ebola Epidemic Out of Control, Israel to Investigate Gaza School Shelling

House voted, largely along party lines, to authorize a lawsuit
against President Obama, Rep.
Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Tex.) suggested on the House floor
yesterday that the lawsuit against the president was a “veiled
attempt” at impeachment and claimed Democrats never tried to
impeach President Bush even though he “pushed” America into the
Iraq War. In fact, Rep. Lee co-sponsored a bill to impeach Bush in
2008. Democrats continue to use the threat of impeachment,
suggested by Democrats, to raise money and political support.
