President Obama’s legacy is increasingly in legal jeopardy

President Obama's second-term agenda, it seems, is in the hands of the courts.

Same-sex marriage. Obamacare. Climate change. And now immigration. And in many cases, there is significant doubt about whether his signature initiatives will stand legal scrutiny.

The latest blow to Obama's second-term plans came Tuesday when a federal appeals court in New Orleans denied the administration's request to move forward with implementing his expanded executive action on immigration to defer deportation for millions of undocumented immigrants.

Texas and 25 other states have sued to have it shelved. The drama is sure to ensue for months, writes the Post's David Nakamura, and throw into doubt whether the fight over all of Obama's executive actions on immigration will be settled before he leaves office in January 2017.

Here's a look at other Obama agenda items that are now in the court's hands, and where they stand.

Lawless. The most lawless to sit in the oval office (to date)

there is significant doubt about whether his signature initiatives will stand legal scrutiny.

And still they come. The borders are wide open, come one, come all. As the court fight goes on, still they come to Obamas America. In droves. I’ve seen it. I live in the occupied territory. English has become a second language here. It wasnt that way five years ago.

If anyone has any faith in the courts, they are fools.

The only answer is to impeach the traitor in chief NOW.
