Stop these tyrants in robes!

[Red in Blue PA]

Pathetic!

[stm]

I knew this was too good to last. God forbid we hold lawbreakers and harborers of illegals accountable for their actions

[NormsRevenge]

You’d think AP could at least include the name of the Judge. bastards!

[VeniVidiVici]

Sounds to me like we should then be able to sue these La Raza style groups under RICO.

[Greg F]

City should countersue the federal government for failing to protect against foreign invasion.

[Jersey Republican Biker Chick]

A sad day in Pennsylvania.

A sad day for Justice.

PING!!

[AU72]

Illegals right to vote and run for office is just around the corner.

[NeoCaveman]

It was pushed by Hazleton's Republican mayor

Who also won the Democrat primary as a write in, while being on the Republican ballot. That was something you don't see everyday.

[Nachum]

That city should enforce it anyway.

[brownsfan]

America is at the mall. Few of us notice, or care.
The politicians and elite want this, and they want it bad.

Relax, we’re powerless.

[Vision]

Can’t find the judge’s name.

[nhoward14]

Too many more decisions like this and I am very fearful this will start to boil over and, God forbid, will start being settled in the streets.

[Williams]

The courts won’t give us the country back, they have it firmly in hand. Illegals have more rights and power than citizens and elected officials. It may mean we are finished.

[Labyrinthos]

Stop these tyrants in robes!

I suspect you have drawn this conclusion without ever reading the local law at issue, the briefs, the record, or the precedent that the judge relied upon in making the decision. District Court judges are not supposed to make new law, rather they are supposed to follow judical precedent, even if they disagree with the end result, and let the appellate courts chart the course.

[Pyro7480]

It’s time for some “Sons of Liberty”-style agitation. Only then will they listen.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

< Liberal Whine > Good! Laws like that are just plain MEAN! < /Liberal Whine >

[Anonymous Rex]

They’ll appeal it.

And I suspect you haven't even read the decision yourself, and yet, you're criticizeing me?

[crunk]

Men in black strike again.
