Obama Admin Proposes Compromise to Judge: Let Every State Except Texas Implement Exec Amnesty

On Monday, the Justice Department asked a federal judge in Texas who issued an injunction last week against President Barack Obama’s executive amnesty to stay his injunction. The Obama administration also proposed that the judge issue a partial stay that would allow every state except for Texas to start implementing Obama’s executive amnesty.

The Justice Department gave U.S. District Judge Andrew Hanen until Wednesday to decide on the matter. If Hanen does not act, the Justice Department will ask the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals for a stay.

The Justice Department argued that the Department of Homeland Security would “sustain irreparable harm” that would not be cured even if the Obama administration wins its appeal. The Obama administration alleged that a “stay pending appeal is necessary to ensure that the Department of Homeland Security (“DHS” or “Department”) is able to most effectively protect national security, public safety, and the integrity of the border.”

“Allowing the preliminary injunction to remain in place pending appeal would also harm the interests of the public and of third parties, who will be deprived of the significant law enforcement and humanitarian benefits of prompt implementation of the Guidance,” the Justice Department argued in its filing.

Obama would be thrilled to get 98% of what he wants.

[Durbin]

But isn’t he a Federal judge? So he’s not making decisions for Texas, but for the country.

[ConservativeInPA]

I thought there were 23 states in addition to Texas there were part of the original suit. How can a federal judge rule for one state and not the rest?

OH SO obozo’s DOJ, selectively enforce the laws they like and ignore those they don't agree with and America's decline continues under these current DC criminals in all three branches.

That’s a perfect compromise solution...as long as Texas can secede as part of the deal.

[GeronL]

weren’t there about 26 states in that lawsuit?

IOW the other 56 should do his bidding?

[OKSooner]

Retreating compromise. They know they’ve got a losing case.

[5thGenTexan]

Will Texas be exempt from Federal demands for funding these programs as part of the deal?

[txhurl]

What kind of joke is this?

[cotton1706]

“Retreating compromise. They know they’ve got a losing case.”

It certainly is telling isn’t it!

[WayneS]

Exactly.

But the USDOJ is so corrupt they will try ANY ruse they can think up.

And NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, MSNBC, etc. will be right there pimping for them, chomping at the bit to tell us how brilliant Holder’s “idea” is, and announcing for all to hear that only a bunch of racist bigots would oppose him.

[Ray76]

Enforcing the law would cause the Department of Homeland Security “irreparable harm”? Hahahahahha!

They should be sanctioned for a frivolous appeal.

[mtrott]

Exactly. Obama and Holder are desperate, reaching for any straw they can find.

[pfflier]

I believe the injunction was requested by 26 states.

[kaehurowing]

If the judge does this, then the Dictator will issue a new memorandum which deems all illegals to be residents of states other than Texas.

[P-Marlowe]

This is satire, right?

[spokeshave]

Ha....Bronkbama checkmated himself......

here he is in remedial 101 coin toss.....

[Hostage]

This is the biggest CROCK I could ever never imagine as a basis for a stay.

Of course Judge Hanen will refuse to enter a stay. They have to ask him as a formality otherwise the Appeals Court will kick it back downstairs.
