Another judge will rule the states have no standing

We can only take so much of that 'no standing' bs. At some point the people are going to actually STAND, and then we'll hear a different tune from these tyrants in black.

We conservatives and patriots are parched for good news. So glad to hear anything that shifts the ball in our direction!

Windy, that is exactly how I felt when I saw this news.

A proud day for Texas and for Gov. Abbott.

True, but Drudge staff largely sleep at night with nobody “standing watch”.

“Somewhere somehow, there will be some Lib Fed judge that will negate this ruling. I hope I’m wrong but...”

If you read through the WND article, it says (logically) that the next step for Obola and his goons has to be with the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, which is also conservative. If they uphold (or simply refuse to get involved), the SCOTUS is the next stop and that will take a whole lot of time. Meanwhile, this judge’s ruling is controlling as I read it.

"We live in a nation governed by a system of checks and balances, and the President's attempt to by-pass the will of the American people was successfully checked today."
~ Texas Governor Greg Abbott

Can't tell you what a warm feeling those words give to me. I am so glad that I voted for this man to be my Governor. We thought he'd be a godsend to our state and the country, and he's already proving to be just that.

Don’t jump to conclusions. The liberals always win in the end.

Kiss My Ass, surrender monkey!

That’s surprising. Their bread and butter is breaking stories.

If Gov. Abbot were serious about the issue he'd also declare a state of invasion and call the National Guard up to militarily secure the border. This would give him the legal standing to smack down a higher court [even the supreme court] overturning it, or another executive order, or even congressional action; the TX Constitution gives him such authority:

Give the good Governor a minute to catch his breath. He just might do that, unlike his RINO predecessor.

For what it's worth, I'm with you. I really, really hope he does so.

I think they will ignore it or find some way to spin out of it.

Good advice for true Americans suffering every manner of ills under the current dictator. It's high time the several states and The People simply ignored Obama.

That federal judge better get himself some heavyhanded protection because there are criminal elements in this country that align themselves with His Highness.

Buck Ofama! This is Texas he's messin' with!

Ah, so nice, wrapped up with a nice big bow! What was that quote by Uncle Joe Stalin, how many divisions does the Pope have? Remember we are dealing with real commies here, they will either ignore or spin out of it as I said before with their Commie pals in the MSM. The sheeple can’t even answer the most basic civic questions. They don’t want their free stuff taken away from them. So who’s going to impeach him or send him to Jail. We can win every court case forever it will not change what’s been done.

Yes, I’m not a lawyer but believe the injunction stands unless it is stayed by a higher court. I’m not sure on what legal basis the injunction would be stayed.

THIS DECISION IS A MAJOR VICTORY AGAINST THE CRIMINAL ENTERPRISE KNOW AS THE OBAMA REGIME.
