Federal District Judge Andrew Hanen has entered a preliminary injunction preventing the implementation of President Obama’s post-election amnesty order. Since entry of the injunction, Judge Hanen has been apprised of certain misrepresentations regarding the status of Obama’s order. The parties are in the process of working out an agreement to resolve discovery issues and report to the court regarding those misrepresentations. In an order entered yesterday (posted online here), Judge Hanen pursues a related issue:

Lower the boom Judge Hanen. You are dealing with repetitive criminals.

[Paladin2]

RICO starting with ValJar.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Rush is pounding this...

[sheikdetailfeather]

I’m listening! Hanen is to be commended.

[Paladin2]

Jeh, nothing to see here, move along....

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Hope his tax returns are in order.
These DC SOBs are capable of anything.

[Lurkinanloomin]

God Bless Judge Hanen.
At least there is still one honest judge still on the bench.

Can the judge have US marshals arrest Jet Johnson?

[Mobties]

Cuff ‘em all, Judge!

[ClayinVA]

It would be interesting to see a Federal Judge issue a bench warrant for a Senior Administration Official.

[sheikdetailfeather]

I hope so!

Order them to appear and then order the US Marshals to place them under arrest for contempt of court and make sure you put them in with the general and mostly illegal prison population.

[Safetgiver]

He CAN, but would they comply? Would you like to lose your job or be assigned submarine patrol in Death Valley?

Will the regime comply with the Judge's lawful orders? They haven't yet. Say Judge Hanen signs arrest warrants for those in the regime for their failure to appear and sends US Marshals to execute the warrants. Clearly, the DOJ will over rule the warrants and very likely have the US Marshals Office deputies arrested if they insist on completing their assignment. So what then would be the Judge's next move, issue a warrant for the AG? Rogue judges don't last too long in today's political environment.

Gov Abbott on the Kelly file
Very unusual to order Jeh Johnson to court....also note Abbott used to be on Texas Supreme court

“Jeh, nothing to see here, move along....”

I see what you did there....

[rigelkentaurus]

I was once naïve enough to think Issa or Gowdy were going to do something - but they didn’t.

So far, this judge sounds good, but where is the action? He has allowed the government to drag this out month after month giving them the benefit of doubt each time. Even now, he is giving them yet another month.

I want to believe, but until he puts a bunch of these people, and high level people especially, in prison for contempt, and I don’t mean in a country club or house arrest, I am very skeptical.

[Paladin2]

Isn’t Judge Hanen The Law operating West of the Pecos?

[Paladin2]

Pure bi-lateral hand dyslexia, I assure you.

A District Court bench in Brownsville might be considered the equivalent...
