The conservative group FreedomWatch is suing the White House task force that led to thegun control proposals offered by President Barack Obama Wednesday.

FreedomWatch’s suit is based on the argument that the White House group conducted illegal meetings with lobbyists without public notice that’s required. The suit, which was filed in Florida federal court, seeks to eliminate the task force and prevent any of its proposals from becoming law, The Hill reports.

The 1972 Federal Advisory Committee Act requires presidential task forces that include non-federal government officials to meet in public and publish notice of meetings in the Federal Register 15 days ahead of time.

“President Obama and Vice President Biden have thumbed their nose at the law and instead been holding closed door meetings with special interest lobbyists on both sides of the issue,” FreedomWatch founder Larry Klayman said in a written statement. “The American people, whose rights to gun ownership stem from colonial times and are enshrined in the U.S. Constitution, are being illegally shut out of the process.”

Unless Obama is brought up on Benghazi charges in a technical lawsuit, impeaching him is almost impossible due to it requiring the majority votes of both the House and Senate.

Lawsuits appear the only remedy of protection under the Constitution to protect us from a full dictatorship at this point. Especially since the GOP appears unable or unwilling to balance government powers against Obama's power grabs and executive orders.
