Oh, sorry, I see from the link the judge is a woman appointed by Obama in 2010.
Oh, well. Nice try.
My experience is that you can never tell by looking at who was appointed by whom and when.
This judge had a history before her appointment and was up for selection. Her appointment by Obama was a mere formality and not agenda driven.
She also overruled Obama’s lawyers who were asking that the hearing be delayed into the new year. She granted Klayman’s request for fast track.
If she follows the law, the preliminary injunction is a done deal. If she listens to Obama’s justice department and their explanation that she has no jurisdiction to hear the motion as it it the President’s sole discretion to decide who and who not to deport, then she may stretch her authority against the evidence that Obama plans to issue IDs, SSNs, Work Permits, EBT and federal benefits to illegals.
We will see.
But there is also a strong lawsuit by Abbott in Texas, joined now by 24 states total and growing. The link to the lawsuit is given above. Abbott filed in the Southern District of Texas.
