Federal appeals court deals blow to President Obama’s amnesty

A federal appeals court upheld an injunction against President Obama’s new deportation in a rulingTuesday that marks the second major legal setback for an administration that had insisted its actions were legal.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit ruled in favor of Texas, which had sued to stop the amnesty, on all key points, finding that Mr. Obama’s amnesty likely broke the law governing how big policies are to be written.

“The public interest favors maintenance of the injunction,” the judges wrote in the majority opinion.

Mr. Obama had acted in November to try to grant tentative legal status and work permits to as many as 5 million illegal immigrants, saying he was tired of waiting for Congress to act.

In this case Obama has been outsmarted & boxed in....his amnesty is DOA.

Won't change a thing.

They will "accidentally" ignore this ruling as well.

"0bama has to be ticked."

Which means he will just double down like he always does when his plans are stymied. Why would he follow this court's order when he's ignored all the others. ("Sorry, that was just a computer glitch....")

I find it odd that obama has complete disdain for the legislative branch of government. Yet he seems to have at least a minimum or respect for the judiciary. How long will it be before he extends the middle finger to the judiciary and completely takes over government unfettered by the courts?

Congress, by not taking any new action, has decided to allow existing law to stand. That is, in and of itself, taking action. Obama cannot force Congress to take action to override existing law.

FUBO, pound sand.

With the 5th Circuit backing up Judge Hanen’s original order hopefully he’ll knock some heads on the lying lawyers but am not holding my breath.
