U.S. Constitution Title: Home News National Federal appeals court deals blow to President Obama’s amnesty A federal appeals court upheld an injunction against President Obama’s new deportation in a ruling Tuesday that marks the second major legal setback for an administration that had insisted its actions were legal. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit ruled in favor of Texas, which had sued to stop the amnesty, on all key points, finding that Mr. Obama’s amnesty likely broke the law governing how big policies are to be written. “The public interest favors maintenance of the injunction,” the judges wrote in the majority opinion. Mr. Obama had acted in November to try to grant tentative legal status and work permits to as many as 5 million illegal immigrants, saying he was tired of waiting for Congress to act. The full amnesty, known as Deferred Action for Parental Accountability, or DAPA, had been scheduled to begin last week, while an earlier part had been slated to accept applications on Feb. 18. But just two days before that, Judge Andrew S. Hanen issued his injunction finding that Mr. Obama had broken the law. Administration officials had criticized that ruling, and immigrant-rights advocates had called Judge Hanen an activist bent on punishing immigrants. But Tuesday’s ruling upholds his injunction, giving some vindication to the judge. It also could mean Mr. Obama will have to appeal to the Supreme Court if he wants to implement his amnesty before the end of his term. In the 2-1 decision, Judge Jerry E. Smith and Jennifer Elrod ruled in favor of Texas, finding that the state would suffer an injury from having to deliver services to the illegal immigrants granted legal status, and ruling that it was a major enough policy that the president should have sent it through the usual rule-making process. “DAPA modifies substantive rights and interests — conferring lawful presence on 500,000 illegal aliens in Texas forces the state to choose between spending millions of dollars to subsidize driver’s licenses and changing its law,” the judges wrote.

#2. To: BobCeleste (#1) Like obamit cares. Why should he? It is a decision with no practical effect. There are three kinds of people in the world: those that can add and those that can't #3. To: cranky (#2) Why should he? That's my point, as long as bohner and mcconell are vying to be his Monica, he has no need to worry about anything.
#4. To: cranky (#0) Mr. Obama had acted in November to try to grant tentative legal status and work permits to as many as 5 million illegal immigrants, saying he was tired of waiting for Congress to act. "Honorable Leader Obama had acted in November to try to grant tentative legal status and work permits to as many as 5 million illegal Democrats, saying he was tired of waiting for Congress to do as he decreed." In other news, the capture and release program for wild animals from the borders to the interior of the U.S. continues despite the recent tide of dissent that the American voter puppets have displayed. Response to these events will likely be in the form of public smear campaigns and arrests through unethical means to force the populace to back off from its disapproval.
