Is there any reason why an injunction can’t be obtained from the SCOTUS before tonight?

Cruz brought goosebumps with this speech. God bless him and those who would work to defeat the lying king.

I love how Ted Cruz takes it to them this way.

True ... but does anyone actually THINK Liberals are sensible or concerned enough for their own honor to care about the broadside he just handed them?

“O” and the Liberals are so far out in the pale that no words, no reasoning and no challenge to common decency and integrity can reach them.

Their plan is to totally invalidate American citizenship and they see themselves well on the way to success.

Personally, I do not comprehend WHAT (in the end) anyone gains by fouling the very ground beneath their OWN feet.

They rejected the shining city on a hill for a dark, fetid sewer. When you figure out why, please tell me.

Well crafted and on point. But Zero is an existential nihilist, and so he laughs.

“... injunction from SCOTUS ...”
-
Like some others that I have seen posting here,
I think they would deny.
Why should 1 of the 3 “co-equal branches” of the federal government
run to 1 of the other 3 “co-equal branches” of the federal government
because they thought 1 of the other 3 “co-equal branches” of the federal government
was not respecting the Constitutional contract?
The Judicial Branch would likely tell the Legislative Branch
that the Constitution provides them with the remedy
for any dispute they may have with the Executive Branch.

God will get the last laugh—Psalm 2. I just pray our nation would not continue to be on the side of the nations mentioned in that Psalm; God will destroy when He installs His King upon Zion.

If a Republican president tried something similar - like for example instructing the EPA to stop enforcing all environmental laws and halt all current prosecutions under existing law - you can best believe such an injunction would be obtained before the close of business today.

I think that this one is far more accurate - for the idiot GOP as well as the commies:

A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within.

An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known, and he carries his banners openly. But the traitor moves among those within the gates freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very hall of government itself.

For the traitor appears no traitor.

He speaks in the accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their garments, and he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in hearts of men. He rots the soul of a nation.

He works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of a city. He infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to be feared.

-Marcus Tullius Cicero

Obola drew a red line in regards to comprehensive immigration, this will be the only time he doesn’t punt, back track or look to Putin to save him, interesting no?
