Obama’s DOJ Loses Another Round in Immigration Battle in Texas - badly singed for its misbehavior

Good for Hanen. He’s not letting them get away with anything. Will be very interesting to see the draft history of the advisory mentioned in the article. He is set to expose them by demanding it.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

Judge Hanen is a bright light in this fight.

My concern is with the eventual SCOTUS decision...

[RKBA Democrat]

I would expect the judiciary to figure out some way to allow amnesty to go forward. The judiciary is just as much of a political animal as the other two branches of government. They just have better costumes and choreography.

Could this be the akin to discovering Nixon lying about the two-bit robbery?

“’Fabrications, misstatements, half-truths, artful omissions, and the failure to correct misstatements may be acceptable, albeit lamentable, in other aspects of life,’ but says that in a court of law, ‘when an attorney knows that both the Court and the other side are relying on complete frankness, such conduct is unacceptable.’”

This statement exemplifies how the courts can still serve justice.

I’m impressed at how Judge Hanen, in one fell swoop, manages to describe the entire progressive movement with the phrase “fabrications, misstatements, half-truths, artful omissions, and the failure to correct misstatements.” Clearly, the courts are the perfect antidote to the toxic deceptiveness of progressivism.

Wow... Standing up to the ivory tower ruling class takes serious courage. We need to start some kind of weekly nomination for these rays of hope, to recognize them. Thanks for posting. I love the search for the truth, I will follow this case daily. I don’t care what letter or letters come after their name, I admire those with the courage to tell the truth or to seek it. Most especially when it means evil is breathing down their necks. La Raza and Obama won’t like this one, neithe will Kerry’s new Iranian family.

[Paladin2]

True dat......

[Timber Rattler]

Or in other words, the judge wants to find out who gave the order for the DOJ lawyers to stall him for time.

[Timber Rattler]

Clearly, the courts are the perfect antidote to the toxic deceptiveness of progressivism.

Except when liberal judges sit on the bench, and they currently outnumber our guys, courtesy of Bubba Clinton.

“Misbehavior”, my butt. Obama and his administration offer nothing but LIES to everyone in this country and outside of this country.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

Bears repeating: "...Hanen cites the same provision of the ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct that I discussed in my March 17 article here — the provision that requires complete “Candor toward the Tribunal.” Hanen acknowledges that “fabrications, misstatements, half-truths, artful omissions, and the failure to correct misstatements may be acceptable, albeit lamentable, in other aspects of life,” but says that in a court of law, “when an attorney knows that both the Court and the other side are relying on complete frankness, such conduct is unacceptable.” This is one of the most damning criticisms I have ever read about the behavior of Justice Department lawyers. ..."

I hope he is a careful, healthy man with personal security.

Judge Hanen could well be describing the Democrat party.

.....Judge Hanen, in one fell swoop, manages to describe the toxic deceptiveness of progressivism. ....and the entire progressive movement's “fabrications, misstatements, half-truths, artful omissions, and the failure to correct misstatements”.......

JUDGE HANEN: “Fabrications, misstatements, half-truths, artful omissions, and the failure to correct misstatements may be acceptable, albeit lamentable, in other aspects of life,’ but in a court of law, ‘when an attorney knows that both the Court and the other side are relying on complete frankness, such conduct is unacceptable.”

I wish Hanen was adjuicating Hillary's email mess.

The State Dept may be facing charges of misleading a court WRT the court's request for documents.......and for tampering w/ evidence.

THE NYT REPORTED 3/27/15: Clinton’s review (and erasing?) of her emails did not occur when she was secretary of state ......or even shortly after she left office.

Last October, nearly two years after she left office, the State Department sent her a letter requesting all government records, like emails, she may have possessed. In response, she provided the State Department in December with about 30,000 printed emails that she said were government records. She has said that an additional 30,000 emails were personal.

It appears Clinton still has copies of the emails she deemed public records. Attached to Mr. Kendall’s letter was one sent to him by the State Department this week.

A letter from the under secretary of state for management, Patrick F. Kennedy, said that the department understood that she wanted to keep copies of those documents.

Mr. Kennedy said that the agency had consulted with the National Archives, and that allowing her “access to the documents is in the public interest as it will promote informed discussion” as she responds to congressional.......and other inquiries.

The Obama regime is able to change metadata, to literally “alter history”.

Hmmm.... The playbook is exposed and now will be scrutinzed in excruciating detail.

“other aspects of life” might might be in danger by extension and extrapolation.

For instance, the judge in Texas might make hay that sets precedent that will get Lois Lerner the needle and the VA crooks in jail
