Deadlocked Supreme Court likely means Obama’s executive amnesty is dead
Canada Free Press ^ | 04/19/16 | Dan Calabrese

Don't tell anybody what I want to do. If they find out you know that they'll never let me through.

Just so you know, when a case reaches the Supreme Court and the Justices deadlock, that means the lower court ruling stands. That was bad news last month when it meant California teachers unions got to continue their shameless extortion racket. But sometimes it’s good news, and that appears to be the case when it comes to Obama’s executive amnesty.

If The Hill’s sources are reading the Justices correctly, a lower court ruling halting the practice appears to be generating another 4-4 deadlock at the SCOTUS, which would mean Obama will have to actually enforce the law:

I’m not even sure we will keep Roberts from siding with the Kenyanesian Usurper.

Obama will just order ICE to ignore the law like they have been doing.

..4-4 deadlock at the SCOTUS, which would mean Obama will have to actually enforce the law:..

Are you kidding? Enforce a law he doesn’t agree with? An overt, in your face disregard of the mandate for every President found in the Constitution to enforce the nation’s laws, Like it or not. Liberals and socialists are included.

If precedent is that a tie means that the lower court will not be overruled, look for a new precedent to be established. This is our unprecedented president, remember...

Plus, he’s a Constitutional scholar, doncha know? What do those steenkin’ Supreme Court justices know, anyway?

I don’t count Roberts or Kennedy out from their back-stabbing potential.

I don’t know how this nation has lasted with these socialists running loose. Soon the Democrats will run an openly gay candidate.

Trust me, for decades now in NJ we’ve had a de facto amnesty; it will remain even if not de jure.
