The administration warned a federal judge Monday to stay out of the debate over President Obama’s deportation amnesty, saying decisions about whom to deport fall squarely within the executive’s job description, “which this court lacks authority to review. In its first extended legal filing in one of the court challenges to the new amnesty, the Justice Department says courts have long held that an agency’s decision whether or not to prosecute someone or to enforce the law is entitled to “absolute discretion.”“Federal courts sit to decide cases and controversies, not to resolve disagreements about policy or politics,” said Joyce R. Branda, the acting assistant attorney general who took the lead on filing the brief.
Ms. Branda said the administration had to impose the new deportation amnesty because immigration enforcement has become too costly in recent years, outpacing the amount of money Congress provides, so picking and choosing which illegal immigrants to deport is the best use of taxpayers’ money.

Drudge headline:
OBAMA QUIETLY WIELDS POWER THROUGH ‘MEMORANDA’
According to USA Today, by issuing his directives as “memoranda” rather than executive orders, Obama has downplayed the extent of his executive actions.
They’re claiming these executive memos are the equivalent of executive orders and they bear the full force of “law.”
And that’s b/s.
ping
I don’t want him impeached. I want him hung for treason!
but also Obama has racked up more debt than all the previous presidents combined. this massive Obama debt has guaranteed the economic collapse of the USA and the world. anyone here can dispute that there is some way to recover from this massive debt? come on you know there is no way out . obama has destroyed this country and the world, period.

No standing again?
All righty then.
Why in the Fk am I even bothering to get caught up in this debate over the soul of our country?
Really. I feel like I should drop out entirely and just go get what’s mine and let the peons do whatever pleases them for amusement.
The country deserves the tyrant if it refuses to impeach and convict him. I am thoroughly disgusted with the willingness of U.S. citizens and their Congressmen to tolerate the lawlessness of this president.
There is a Legislative solution to Obama’s defiance of law, Totally defund the entire offending Department.
It IS TIME to DownSize DC!
Has the coup already happened? This is getting dangerous.
Obama has the trifecta.
He had the Executive Branch, took over the Legislative Branch and now has superseded the Judicial Branch.
Even the Mafia isn't that brazen.
Very Stalinesque.
