The White House lost on its fight over Barack Obama’s executive orders on immigration when the Supreme Court had nine members, and it won’t get a second chance with the eight remaining. ... the high court denied a rehearing request in US et al v Texas et al, the biggest fight between Washington and the states on enforcement of immigration statutes:
The Supreme Court refused Monday to reconsider President Obama’s proposed overhaul of the nation’s immigration system following a tie vote in June that blocked its implementation.
The eight-member court’s order shut the door on a plan that already seemed all but dead a few months ago. The court declined to wait until a ninth justice is confirmed and seated in order to rehear the case — and possibly reverse its June decision.
The high court seldom agrees to rehear cases a second time, but it has on occasion done so when a justice’s death or retirement leaves a vacancy that leads to a 4-4 tie. In those cases, the court merely leaves the decision of the lower court intact and sets no national precedent.
------------------------------------------------------
This decision leaves the loss in place, and also leaves Obama and his activism with no tools left to intrude on legislative jurisdiction. Had Obama worked in more good faith on this issue rather than leveraging it for cheap demagoguery, he might have found a compromise with Congress. For that matter, if Obama cared about this issue apart from cheap demagoguery, he would have prioritized immigration reform while his party controlled Congress, rather than backing a useless and expensive stimulus package and the disastrous ObamaCare legislation. He might have made himself and Democrats a lot more popular in midterm elections, too.
This closes the books for Obama on immigration. He lost, mostly by forfeit.

past time for states to start dropping lawsuits against the obama regime...

Only for his SECOND illegal amnesty for illegal aliens, DACA.
His first illegal amnesty for illegal aliens goes on unhindered, DAPA.
He is STILL legalizing illegal aliens.
SCOTUS be racist! Be acting stupidly.
This is Barry’s MO...touch it, blight it. Look back at the last 8 yrs and its a clutter of destruction.

Democrats never accept defeat because they never accept reality, they will continue to push their agenda over and over again because they deny reality itself.
They will push again with a different case and they will try to go around it, just as the sun comes up every morning they will never quit because their delusions are beyond reasoning.
The bloom has come off the rose???!!!.
Yes, Demos never quit, but Republicans dare to tread.
Judge Hanen wins.
The Invasionists lose a round. They’ll be back.
And the Rat party - which aborted and contracepted itself out of existence - will have to look elsewhere for votes.
The Fundamental Transformation of the United States into a third world nightmare has had a temporary setback.
but they won’t quit until seedy Mexican thugs control the wealth and power of the United States.
Yabut ... not under obolo’s term ... he’s done.
It’s a very important point, however, that DAPA is a much more limited amnesty.
Without setting a precedent being set they leave the door wide open in the future when the commie progressives are in the majority.

The “Rats n’ RINOs” wing of the federal bureaucracy will never cease to shit in their own nest for more cheese at the expense of spreading the plague everywhere they tread.
and you can quote me on that!
Huh?
...He is STILL legalizing illegal aliens....
And over 1,800 who were supposed to be Deported became citizens instead.
If Hillary’s elected she’ll stack the court with criminals...
800,000 + and counting, not limited enough for any illegal amnesty for illegal aliens.
If we had an opposition party they would have been in court in 2012 to stop the first one like the states sued to stop the second one.
The GOP wanted him to legalize illegal aliens.
Texas...leading the way, once again.
Right you are. The 2012 “Dreamer” amnesty continues. At last count that I can recall, around 900,000 Dreamers have been legalized including providing them with SSN’s and work permits.
