A judge has sided with Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio in the first clash in what is expected to be a major court fight over the legality or not of Barack Obamas looming amnesty program, ordering a fast track for case arguments and hearings.
The announcement came on Wednesday from U.S. District Judge Beryl A. Howell ..granted a motion ...

Two Justice Department lawyers representing Obama in the fight had wanted their initial response delayed for weeks for one thing because of the coming Christmas season.
But Howell ordered Obama to respond to Arpaios motion for a preliminary injunction to protect the U.S. while the merits of the amnesty program are debated in court by Dec. 15. A full preliminary injunction hearing is set for Dec. 22.

We are very pleased that Judge Howell has ordered an expedited hearing on our motion for preliminary injunction which asks to preserve the status quo and stop the implementation of President Obamas executive order, Klayman said. The executive order violates the Constitution, as it seeks to circumvent the powers which the Framers delegated to Congress.

Klaymans submission to the court noted that even though Obama never signed a formal executive order on his immigration action, the impact is that programs and procedures are being changed already to meet his demands.
The presidents decision, Klayman wrote, orders direct DHS personnel including the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and ICE to immediately suspend enforcement of immigration laws with regard to any who appear to be eligible for the new deferred action programs, even though such persons might not yet be able to apply for formal recognition.
The instructions also tell law enforcement officials to immediately begin identifying those who could be given the special benefit.

Sheriff Joe PING
The great uniter:
Sheriff JOE..??
Ya freakin” Hoo!
FYI
Way to go Joe!!! God bless and protect you.
OK, but using the courts this way seems to me strengthening the position of the activist judge.
I don’t like it.
Not sure if it will make a difference with this judge but the latest bragging by Obama stating that once he gives these illegals a work permit and SSN then no future President would be able to undo what “the KING” has done. I hope that Sheriff Joe amends his request for the injunction to add that statement as proof of the need for the injunction to maintain the status quo.
Silly peasants. King Obama shall not respond.
I’m waiting for the spooks to out a certain guys real birth certificate and college records
from the article:

Supposedly, Bathhouse graduated "with honors" at Harvard. I'd like to see evidence of that.
That isn't going to happen until Obola is out of office. Then it will be Katie bar the door. There'll be a dozen "tell-all" books a week coming out for a couple years.
I’m a bit tired of reading about smashing court victories over the forces of liberalism which are nothing of the sort.
When there are Superbowl threads here you never see posts saying “Seahawks Dominate Broncos in Early Going, Win Coin Toss!!!!!
What Klayman got was more than that, but not a lot more.
Good win. Now Obama can’t move ahead until after he fights it out in court, and the courts are not likely to side with him on this one. His only real hope was to get things implemented quickly, before any battles began, so that he could count on the inertia of the system to hinder anyone trying to roll his changes back.
Whenifhow,
Thanks for the info!
All y’all ping to this post!
Ping! Ping! Ping!

Boehner’s $1 Billion for illegals is stopped! Doesn’t matter what RINOs in Congress do now!

Are you frickin serious???
Activist judge?
Sounds like Politico double talk.
Have you read the complaint? It is based squarely on the law! No activism needed and no activism done!
