Texas Gov. Greg Abbott announced on Monday night that a federal judge has “granted” his request to “halt” President Barack Obama’s “Executive Amnesty Order” across the country.

Abbott didn’t immediately offer any other details, but promised for information later.

I think there are numerous states involved, either in this suit or their own. Marcella said 20.

The real problem is the 50+ percent of the electorate that voted for this ass-clown twice.

You mean the "two thirds" that didn't vote in the last election? The same portion of the electorate that stayed home talking on their Obamaphones while real Americans elected an historic majority of new Republicans to offices across the country?

Yeah, the gimmedat class is demonstrating a whole lot of political clout right now. Not.

The federal government will simply ignore this court ruling

Don't get me started, Geron. Now's not the time to go squishy.

I am not going squishy. Anyone who thinks Obama is going to rescind or put his policies on hold, for real, are the ones going squishy.

No. They are not the real problem. The real problem is the 50+ percent of the electorate that voted for this ass-clown twice.

I don’t think they did. I think the electronic voting machines that were likely tied to one of Soro’s thousand + shell companies did bcuz 0 seemed overly confident he would win even before the election as though the outcome was already known. I could be wrong but given what we know now probably not.

Theodore said: “The American people who invested in him twice haven’t lost confidence yet and never will.”

If one doesn't TRY to right a wrong, it will never be righted. Said another way, if you sit on your butt and do nothing, nothing will change. Theodore, too bad you have given up - Texas hasn't.

Greg Abbott was our State Attorney General and he filed this suit against Obama shortly after Obama usurped the constitution and gave amnesty to about 5 million illegals. Abbott did something, he didn't sit on his butt in his wheelchair and do nothing. Actually, he did keep sitting in his wheelchair because he can't walk but that didn't stop him from writing and filing that suit.

Abbott used to say he went to his Attorney General office every day and filed suit against the federal government, then he went home and filed another one the next day. I believe he has sued the government over fifty times and most of those he won. And, he used Ted Cruz whom he had hired, to be the one to go before the Supreme Court and win those cases.

Abbott and Cruz, they ACT.

No, I was talking about the last two presidential elections.

They better put texas militia around his house for protection because I’ll bet MS-13 and the goon squad probably owe each other favors.

I'm sure the Governor and his family are well protected.

“What we need is additional states supporting Texas...”

20 + states HAVE joined this suit so they are in it with us.

I agree that there was very likely a very large quantity of “voter fraud” in those elections, but why wasn’t that being controlled? Didn’t we know that was going to happen?

Yeah, you're just 'keepin' it real', right?

Knock it off and spit in the devil's eye with us. It's the first step to actually winning any war.

Abbott and Cruz, they ACT.

They also maintain the mental posture to FIGHT BACK, in their hearts and minds, which is the necessary precursor to any effective action in the real world.

I’m happy about the ruling, but waving pom-poms isn’t going to change what happens.

The ruling will be on hold or whatever until the appeal is heard, probably by a commie judge

What the hell? Why aren't you spitting in the devil's eye with us? You'll never win with that sort of attitude. All good things begin with a decision or determination of personal will.

If you can't conceive of, or adopt a winning attitude, you're simply going to become the Effect of whatever Cause comes your way.

Like Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn said, if they knew what would happen, wouldn’t they have fought back? Better than going like sheeple to the slaughter.

I believe that’s a realistic expectation and the final verdict comes from the USSC which was comfortable with Obamacare because like Amnesty it favors special interests that line the Uniparty pockets of Democrat and Republican politicos......

Because we had become accustomed to prosperity, got complacent, too comfortable, secure and self-assured and the enemy knew this was the proper time to attack. America had no clue a carefully orchestrated plan had been set in motion and that a Manchurian Candidate charlatan armed with the right image, the right tools of deception, with backing from immense financial resources would be unleashed on them to carry out pdychological and class warfare on a scale never seen before. We were naieve and they knew we were ripe. We learned much fom this episode and need to correct our checks and balance systems so it can never happen again.
