A federal judge on Tuesday threw out a lawsuit brought against Barack Obama by an Arizona police chief who called the U.S. president's sweeping immigration reforms unconstitutional, saying the plaintiff lacked legal standing in the case.
Judge Beryl Howell of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia denied the demand by Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio for a preliminary injunction to halt the policies.
Arpaio, who calls himself "America's Toughest Sheriff," filed the case last month, saying Obama had overstepped his powers by bypassing Congress and ordering the changes himself.
Arpaio's lawsuit said the reforms, which eased the threat of deportation for about 4.7 million undocumented immigrants, amounted to an amnesty and would encourage more people to cross the border illegally.
Beryl's 33-page decision said Arpaio did not meet the legal requirements to qualify as a person of standing in bringing the case on constitutional grounds.

Let me guess, he “didn’t have standing.”
LOL, an Obama Judge
“Lacked standing” HA! Judge you’re full of it you pathetic liar
The courts are so saturated with communists that justice is impossible. All liberals are communists.
US Judge or Bammy Marxist “Judge”?
In this case both.
This is what happens when the RINO Gang of 14 led by McCain were unwilling to ditch the filibuster to have GWB fill up many of these vacancies. When Reid had control, he tossed the filibuster and saturated the courts with Obama Marxists. Altogether Obama has made 305 federal judgeship appointments in six years of which some 13 are openly gay!!!! Nice work RINOs

i’d love a court to define exactly who does have legal standing. if nobody does it’s time to chuck all the lawyers, judges and courts because we’ve got untouchable, unaccountable leaders.
This crap won’t stop until disgruntled citizens start paying personal visits to these “judges” at their homes.

Very sad day in America - again
LOL.
Pointless.
This is what a stacked judiciary means.
Pretty much time to do what you gotta do, Sheriff.
Arizona, the border, illegal aliens. What kind of “standing” is the jug head wanting. This so called “judge” sounds like he/she might need to see a shrink.
No one, according to the vast leftist judiciary.
That is the beauty of living in a post-Constitutional 0bamanation.
The law is whatever the Executive and its pet Judiciary says it is, and the Legislature too corrupt and gutless to say otherwise.
