Federal Judge Stalls Obama’s Executive Action On Immigration
[su_center_ad]A federal judge has temporarily halted President Obama’s immigration executive order while 26 states pursue action to stop in permanently.
[su_right_ad]U.S. District Judge Andrew Hanen’s decision late Monday puts on hold Obama’s orders that could spare from deportation as many as five million people who are in the U.S. illegally.
Hanen wrote in a memorandum accompanying his order that the lawsuit should go forward and that without a preliminary injunction the states would “suffer irreparable harm in this case.”
“The genie would be impossible to put back into the bottle,” he wrote, adding that he agreed that legalizing the presence of millions of people is a “virtually irreversible” action.

ever notice how right wingers never whine about “activist judges” when their view prevails in court?
John Tarter February 17th, 2015 at 3:20 pm
This Judge is not making new law, but is seeing that the one currently in place is adhered to and a new law is not unconstitutionally created by the Executive Branch of the government. This is quite unlike liberal activist judges who constantly seek to legislate from the bench.
arc99 February 17th, 2015 at 5:13 pm
First of all, the ruling does no such thing. The judge made no decision on the legality of the executive order. The judge issued a temporary injunction to allow plaintiffs more time to file their legal challenge.
Second of all, thanks for the confirmation of the hypocrisy I was referring to in my prior post. Hypocrites always have a perfectly reasonable explanation for their hypocrisy. You did not disappoint.

If you don’t like the constitution then move to a country that has one you like. I hear Tijuana is really nice and safe. Maybe, you should start there.
arc99 February 17th, 2015 at 5:10 pm
I have no idea what you are ranting about.
I am perfectly fine with our Constitution. Maybe you should get some semblance of a clue before making statements which make no sense whatsoever.
Incidentally, if you cannot cite from memory at least one right protected in each amendment of the Bill of Rights, (as I can) you really have no business lecturing people about the Constitution.
Raze No February 17th, 2015 at 5:32 pm
Yeah, I don’t think that was meant for you. My reply doesn’t make sense to what you said. For that I apologize. On the other stuff you said… Good for you.

I see, standing up for the rule of law is bigotry. For your information, I am of French Canadian descent and I do not want any of them coming here in an illegal manner either.

Raze No February 17th, 2015 at 3:59 pm
Bigotry? Nobody is saying we don’t want immigration. We just want in legal and controlled as much as possible. Securing the border doesn’t mean to lock it up. It means to know who is coming in and out.

Wait, I thought Obama had a phone and a pen and could do whatever he wanted…..
CaptPainter February 17th, 2015 at 9:30 am
OK, so if like so many are stating, in government and public forums, the people that are being helped by this executive order are already “leeching “off the government receiving welfare, foodstamps, health care, etc… what harm is being done to the states by allowing the order to go forward?
I know for a fact that Texas’ budget problems are not the results of these people putting a strain on the state, because the state wasn’t keeping up with budgetary issues anyway.
Suzanne McFly February 17th, 2015 at 9:47 am
This is being appealed and will be overturned. President Obama had this looked over by multiple courts, judges, and scholars and will stand. All this is doing is delaying the inevitable, they are hoping something will magically happen that will support their argument.
amongoose February 17th, 2015 at 11:03 am
It will be interesting to see the reaction. The ruling is a stay order which forbids the program from being implemented.
From what I have seen the “registration” starts next week.
Will it be obeyed?
Suzanne McFly February 17th, 2015 at 7:24 pm
The appeal is going through now and I seen where someone said a decision of its implementation should be decided soon.
amongoose February 17th, 2015 at 8:05 pm
All I can find is that they were going to file,
possibly by the Friday.
Which appeals court have you heard it being filed in?
They are under jurisdiction of the 5th circuit court of appeals in New Orleans.
Suzanne McFly February 17th, 2015 at 8:33 pm
I have not heard which court, I just heard they have filed.
Obewon February 17th, 2015 at 8:36 pm
Circuit court of appeals, or a full panel pummeling this loon 🙂
Suzanne McFly February 17th, 2015 at 8:37 pm
Sounds good to me Obewon 🙂
Obewon February 17th, 2015 at 8:41 pm
Any judiciary knows the case law requires this Executive action to stand exactly as POTUS Obama J.D., law professor & Constitutional Scholar wrote it!

Exactly! This GW Bush Jr Texas appointed judge is a partisan hack, merely ‘holding a public comment period open.’ GWB’s Texas fool has no legal ability to prevent any of POTUS Obama’s executive actions. This dumb-DeLay tactic fails on it’s irrelevance.
John Tarter February 17th, 2015 at 3:14 pm
He said himself over 25 times on videotape that he did not have the authority to do what he did. So, was he lying then or is he lying now?
David Nauman February 17th, 2015 at 11:38 am
I like how the guy is holding up a sign saying; “Keep Families Together”. Many of these people left their families in other countries to come over here. Now they want to complain about keeping their families together?

William February 17th, 2015 at 6:01 pm
unlikely. Racists seldom change. They will hide behind the Bible the Constitution( or what other publication they don’t read or adhere to), then claim they are all about loving their country. They will blindly follow the paths of drug addicts, pedophiles, criminals, womanizers and paranoid drunks, as long as it somehow validates their blind hatred.
John Tarter February 18th, 2015 at 7:52 am
One little problem with your example Bucko, the Congress had no problem with what those other Presidents did. The Congress was on board, they tacitly gave their assent in one way or another while in Obama’s case it is a go it alone strategy. So there!
William February 18th, 2015 at 8:32 am
No problem whatsoever with my example.
You can change you handle all you want, but you’re still a documented racist “Bucko”

getting to a government office somewhere to apply for food stamps, welfare, or

But tell me, why is it that black citizens are unable to

And if they did the same thing as the Bamster is now trying to do, then each of those President’s should also have been stopped and held to account.

Reagan & GHW Bush’s amnesty for 5 M undocumented aliens of 240 M U.S. Population gave citizenship to +50% more vs POTUS Obama’s amnesty to 5 M Parents of Americans among today’s 320 M U.S. residents. https://www.google.com/fusiontables/DataSource?dsrcid=225439#rows:id=1

“Breitbart News Network”-Lmao: “The Department of Justice, legal scholars, immigration experts and the district court in Washington, D.C., have determined that the president’s actions are well within his legal authority,” the White House statement said. “The district court’s decision wrongly prevents these lawful, common sense policies from taking effect.”
Obewon February 17th, 2015 at 9:07 pm
The 700,000 people who have already benefitted from that program will not be affected by GW Bush Jr’s Texas appointed Hanen’s ruling:)
A second much larger program designed to protect up to 5 M parents of U.S. Citizens from deportation, who are the undocumented parents of U.S. citizens and permanent legal residents was not scheduled to begin accepting applications until late May. http://www.tampabay.com/news/politics/national/texas-judge-stalls-obamas-executive-action-on-immigration/2217952

Regardless of what past Presidents have done, the question is now before the courts. As such, what was done in the past will not be considered as a factor of allowability. Congress may well have to go back and decide whether to honor past executive orders or begin deportation proceedings against previously amnestied people. I’ll be interested to see how this one turns out.
