Obama admin tells immigration judge: Amnesty Has Already Begun
washingtontimes ^ | May 3 2015 | Stephen Dinan

Posted on 05/04/2015 5:28:56 AM PDT by Whenifhow

The Justice Department checked with the White House before informing a federal judge that it was already carrying out part of President Obama’s immigration amnesty, administration attorneys revealed in documents filed in court late last week as they tried to head off a judicial spanking.

The attorneys turned over the communications with the White House to Judge Andrew S. Hanen, who is hearing the major case challenging Mr. Obama’s 2014 deportation amnesty, but the lawyers pleaded with the court not to look at the documents on grounds that it would intrude on the president’s powers.

Still, the revelation that the White House was looped in suggests officials knew the seriousness of the error in not informing Judge Hanen earlier that the Homeland Security Department was already carrying out part of Mr. Obama’s amnesty by granting three-year work permits to illegal immigrants who qualified under the 2012 policy.

Snip

Texas has asked for limited discovery in the case to try to figure out how seriously it should treat the government’s behavior. Judge Hanen now has those documents and will have to decide what to make public.

Snip

Judge Hanen is considering whether to issue sanctions against the Obama administration — though he has said he won’t strike the government’s pleadings, which essentially would have erased the administration’s defense and granted victory by default to Texas. Judge Hanen said that while that may have been warranted, it would be a disservice to the weighty issues at stake in the case, including fundamental issues of presidential power.

To best understand what is going on, we need to call this what it is......and invasion of foreigners seeking to over throw the US govt. The ding-a-ling in the WH recognizes no laws---he considers our laws to be a plot by evil white men to suppress "people of pallor."

Here, Obama reveals himself, taking his America hatred to new heights .......he is in collusion w/ Third World govts.....financing and facilitating the overthrow.

Our Founding Fathers wisely advocated against foreign entanglements. George Washington famously argued that the US must "Act for ourselves and not for others," by forming an "American character wholly free of foreign attachments."

Obama is doing all he can to fundamentally change America and we the people just sit back and let him. Shame on Obama but more shame on the citizens for allowing it to happen.

And here we see the power of the digital transfer of large amounts of bribe money from the Fed to whomever obama wishes to buy, reward or silence. A digital transfer is how your paycheck get;s to yur bank account.

BACKSTORY In a major suck-up to illegals, Obama "announced" he was issuing an E/O and planned a "signing ceremony" at a LV gathering of illegals.

E/O and signing ceremony never happened. Obama was photoed signing "memos" on AF One. Not an "executive action." Why? B/c an E/O comes w/ legal baggage that the conniving Boobamba wanted to evade. Both "memos" are now on the Whitehouse website.

====================================================

The first of Obama's presidential action memos is entitled: “Creating Welcoming Communities Fully Integrating Immigrants and Refugees,” filed Nov. 26 in the Federal Register at Vol. 79, No. 228, (http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2014-11-26/html/2014-28191.htm).

In the category “Presidential Documents” at page 70769, Obama ordered a White House Task Force on New Americans to “engage with community, business, and faith leaders, as well as State and local elected officials.” The task force is designed to “help determine additional steps the Federal Government can take to ensure its programs and policies are serving diverse communities that include new Americans.”

The second of the presidential actions entitled, “Modernizing and Streamlining the U.S. Immigration Visa System for the 21st Century,” filed Nov. 26 in the Federal Register at Vol. 79, No. 228, in the category “Presidential Documents” at page 70765 (http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2014-11-26/html/2014-28191.htm).

This empowered the secretaries of State and Homeland Securityin consultation with the director of the Office of Management and Budget, the director of the National Economic Council, the assistant to the president for homeland security and counterterrorism, the director of the Domestic Policy Council, the director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy, the attorney general, and the secretaries of Agriculture, Commerce, Labor and Education.

The order was to make a series of recommendations “to reduce government costs, improve services for applicants, reduce burdens on employers, and combat waste, fraud, and abuse in the system” of issuing immigrant and non-immigrant visas.

====================================================

The scam works this way: signed Boobamba memos "delegate" to federal agencies orders to come up with plans (that must advance Boobamba's global conspiracy to overthrow the US govt w/ Third World federales and their cadres jumping the US border).

The federal agencies then "invent" Committees to do this (the better to overthrow the US govt). Then "Administrative Rules," after a comment period, will be published in the "Code of Federal Regulations," which magically turns them into law........ using federal fairy dust.

So Boobamba is shielded from responsibility---he doesn't have to take the hit. Behind closed doors, he tells federal factotums what he wants.....and faster than you can say "the combo plate w/ extra hot sauce".....the overthrow of the US govt commences.

=====================================================

THE "DELEGATION" HORROR STORY--A Federal agency MO since 1946. It's down to a science: (1) publish a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM), (2) make the comment period really short, (3) stonewall any negative comments, and, (4) publish the rule, which (5) NOW has the force of US law. No Congressman was ever involved, and Boobamba doesn't leave his DNA on it. Yet again, why "Delegation" is ominous for liberty---why the writing of administrative law by federal agencies - is un-Constitutional (hat tip to FReeper Regulator.)

I hope Hanen throws some of these Dept. of Injustice hacks in solitary confinement. Just to get their attention. And then really lower the boom.

So, let me get this straight.

The Judge orders the government’s attorneys to produce a critical document that would clearly demonstrate the government’s guilt or innocence.

The attorneys produce the document in question but ask the Judge not to read it for some BS reason.

WTFO?

I have an excellent idea. How about the Judge hand each of the attorneys involved a sealed document that punishes them for actively deceiving the court. They attorneys must comply with the sealed document but aren’t allowed to unseal it to see what they are supposed to do. Then the Judge is allowed to punish the attorneys for failing to comply with his secret, sealed, and unread court order.

Again - WTFO?

But, that is exactly what the government, through its attorneys, is asking the Judge to do. IMHO the Judge should give the attorneys 10 minutes to decide to unseal the documents in question. At the end of 10 minutes the documents are unsealed and distributed to every concerned party and published on the internet.

If they are so bad that the Federal Government is willing to demand that the Judge can not read them they must be published immediately!

`L’estat, C’est moi: The state, it is I.’

Thanks to our feckless GOPee Congress, King Obama actually believes the above.
The Senate and House drones believe that `separation of powers’ means: standing the h*** out of his way.
Eunuchs.
I’ve made it clear to my “conservative” rep that he’d better start making contacts for a post-public servant lobbying job ...
