Mark Levin is livid about this. He says it doesn't sound good...and that he hopes he's wrong.

The scheduling of the hearing was part of a court order that granted a request by the Justice Department to expedite its appeal of Hanen's Feb. 16 ruling.

THIS ^^ is what Mark Levin was NOT happy about.

Congress should have been in court the day after Obama did DACA usurping their authority for his own.
Emboldened by their weakness, he has further usurped Congress and still they lay supine. The states are all that’s left to fight Emperor Sans-cullotte.

What doesn’t “sound good”?
They pretty much have to hear the appeal quickly.

Given the complexity of the issues I can’t see them lifting the injunction.

The states are the ones fighting this lawless creep. Levin is worried that the 5th Circuit has also become compromised.

Pray for America.

Ah, thanks.

I don’t see it. The administration is claiming it’s an emergency and the court is being respectful.

Praying you are right. I just caught the tail end of Levin’s show, tonight. This just came out a few hours ago. Mark seems concerned that the 5th Circuit has become compromised, on this, for some reason. I’ll try and get more details.

Love Mark and I am no lawyer...but the fact that they took it immediately sounded bad to me.

The law no longer matters, it`s how freakin immoral the judges are.

The people that have voted Democrat/liberal since 1960 are responsible for all the modern day evils, abortion, gay marriage and every anti Christian position out there.

The term Christian Democrat is a oxymoron

Exactly....after which point does it no longer even matter? They’ll never vote “R”...so, we know where that leaves us.

For a relative Newbie, you nailed it!

BUMP!

Congress has capitulated everything to the states and the judiciary.

My US rep said in a townhall recently that he had had breakfast with Justice Scalia that week and Scalia told him the SCOTUS was getting weary of bailing Congress out.

I thought that Hartnett chick had to answer what exactly the admin has issued in terms of IDs and SSNs and deferrals before he’d go any further.

I think Hanen plans on some disbarment and even contempt, still.

THAT is good news... might mean they’re going to follow the actual wording of ‘state exchange’ instead of trying to interpret Congress’ intent with zerocare.

I have read and I pray it is true that if Judge Hanen grants the motion for discovery, which is the same as ordering an investigation, that the Appeals Court will hold off on any request from the Justice Department lawyers while the investigation is ongoing.

I pray that it is true that the Appellate Judge who signed the order for the hearing in April did so for the sole reason to show respect for the Justice Department and not because of political pressure.

Because an order for discovery from the district court is not yet before the Appeals Court, I pray their action to set a hearing in April is simply to show they are unbiasd.

I am trying to se a silver lining in this.

If the Appeals Court had denied the Justice Department their request to expedite, could the Justice Department then file with the Supreme Court? If so, then this action at least keeps it in the Appeals Court. I am not confident of anything these days with the Supreme Court. Robert is the biggest disappointment ever to strict construction. He is an appeaser at best and seems compromised.

What now needs to be done is a detailed motion for discovery and quick action to find the unclean hands within the Administration. The preliminary findings should dominate the news cycle to the extent that any possible political pressure on Appellate Judges of the 5th Circuit will be quelled.

Damn Boehner and McConnell for they had the opportunity to make all these court actions moot. They needed only to represent the will of the American people but they didn’t. That lack of representation is also a very scary reality to face. I’m not sure what can be done now with respect to Congress.

Whatever is done, this is the end game. And its importance is so astounding that is may require and justify its own hard ball tactics. The 26 states and others that are too meek to join in are up against Chicago mob culture. Pray they be as wise as serpents and pray God’s divine intervention continue to be there for the Plaintiffs and for all Americans.

What does that mean? Is Scalia saying the Supremes may fold in with the Administration? Or what?

I, too, am praying for a silver lining in all of this. And, praying for all of the same things you are praying for.

Amen.

I think he was trying to tell our guy that the Congress needs to grow a pair and start legislating. Quit laying every thing off on the judiciary because they don’t have the guts to do their job. And actually Scalia is right.
