    Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC)
    has filed a motion aimed at unseating Boehner immediately as Speaker of the House.


    “Rep. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.) has filed a motion to try to force Speaker John Boehner from his leadership post,” Politico wrote in a breaking news alert. “The move, called a motion to vacate the chair, represents a new level of opposition to GOP leadership from the conservative wing of the House Republican Conference. The motion can be postponed for several days before consideration.”

    It’s unclear if this will be successful, but over the past few years there have been two major coup attempts at Boehner. Both were unsuccessful—but extraordinarily close to succeeding—and centered around plays at the beginning of this Congress and the beginning of the last Congress.

    This move will focus on centering around a different strategy, and it all comes after Boehner’s leadership team unsuccessfully attempted retaliation against Meadows for opposing Obamatrade. They had tried to pull a subcommittee chairmanship from Meadows—and did so, but then reversed themselves under enormous pressure from the GOP conference and the American people, turning Meadows into a conservative movement hero of sorts.

    Boehner’s office has not immediately responded to a request for comment but conservative movement stalwarts including nationally syndicated radio host Mark Levin have called for his ouster in recent days.

    Meadows is a highly respected conservative member of the House and is intricately involved in the House Freedom Caucus. He’s plugged in party-wide, and wouldn’t be doing this if he didn’t think it could be successful.

    Lots of drama and scandals surrounding the speaker position over the years.

    Boehner has been unbelievably bad.

    Mark Levin discussed this tonight. He also stated that Meadows will be severely attacked by: Both left and right wing media, and both left wing and establishment right wing politicians. Such is the state of our politics. When politicians actually try to do what their constituency elect them to do, they become the enemy. Especially the right. Makes you wonder how the constituency is viewed by the very politicians who are elected by said constituency (s).
