The man, Michael Robert Hoyt, served Boehner drinks at the Wetherington Golf & Country Club in West Chester, Ohio for more than five years, but was fired in October, according to WCPO.
According to the criminal complaint, Hoyt allegedly called police in late October and told them to tell his father that he was sorry. The call prompted police to visit Hoyt's home, where he allegedly told an officer that he was Jesus Christ and was going to kill Boehner because he was responsible for Ebola and had mistreated him. Hoyt reportedly told police that he wished he had time to put something in Boehner's drink and that he had a loaded gun in his home. Police took control of the weapon in his home, and Hoyt reportedly agreed to undergo a psychiatric evaluation.
Every member of Congress swore an oath to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. So did President Barack Obama.Read the rest after the jump
But too often over the past five years, the President has circumvented the American people and their elected representatives through executive action, changing and creating his own laws, and excusing himself from enforcing statutes he is sworn to uphold -- at times even boasting about his willingness to do it, as if daring the American people to stop him.
That's why, later this month, we will bring legislation to the House floor that would authorize the House of Representatives to file suit in an effort to compel President Obama to follow his oath of office and faithfully execute the laws of our country.
What's disappointing is the President's flippant dismissal of the Constitution we are both sworn to defend. It is utterly beneath the dignity of the office. I know the President is frustrated. I'm frustrated. The American people are frustrated, too.
After years of slow economic growth and high unemployment under President Obama, they are still asking, 'where are the jobs?' The House has passed more than 40 jobs bills that would help. But Washington Democrats, led by the President, just ignore them.
"I believe the President is not faithfully executing the laws of our country, and on behalf of the institution and our constitution standing up and fighting for this is in the best long term interest of the Congress."What?
"The fact that they are considering a taxpayer-funded lawsuit against the president of the United States for doing his job, I think, is the kind of step that most Americans wouldn't support."Good luck, BoneHead. This is your legacy.
“At least in the House of Representatives people have not succumbed to the great fear. A great fear seems to be descending over what has been called the world’s greatest deliberative body … ideas are being suppressed, debate is being shut off, and minds are being closed.”We're being closed minded? Child please.
"I am opposed to discrimination of any kind, in the workplace and any place else. But I think this legislation that I’ve dealt with as chairman of The Education and The Workforce Committee…is unnecessary and would provide a basis for frivolous lawsuits. People are already protected in the workplace. I’m opposed to continuing this. Listen, I understand people have differing opinions on this issue, and I respect those opinions. But as someone who’s worked in the employment law area for all my years in the State House and all my years here, I see no basis or no need for this legislation."source
"The Speaker believes this legislation will increase frivolous litigation and cost American jobs, especially small business jobs."You know what else cost jobs, Bone-Head, a government shutdown. But that didn't stop you from keeping that foolishness going. Boehner's non-support will be a hard slam for ENDA supporters. If he's against it, it may not see the light of day in the House.
"If Republicans and Speaker Boehner are saying there are not enough votes, then they should prove it," he said in a speech at FEMA headquarters. "Let the bill go to the floor and lets see what happens. Just vote. Let every member of Congress vote their conscience and they can determine whether or not they want to shut the government down."If Boehner got the balls, I would love to see this.
"My suspicion is, my very strong suspicion is, there are enough votes there, and the reason Speaker Boehner hasn't called a vote on it is because he doesn't apparently want to see the government shutdown end at the moment unless he's able to extract concessions that don't have anything to do with budget,"
Thanks @michelebachmann for your years of service. A courageous voice for freedom in the people's House.

“Rob’s a great friend and a long-time ally. And I appreciate that he’s decided to change his views on this. I believe that marriage is the union of one man and one woman. … It’s what I grew up with. It’s what I believe. It’s what my church teaches me. And I can’t imagine that position would ever change.”source
