Seventeen states, led by Texas Attorney General and Governor-elect Greg Abbott, are suing the Obama administration over the president's recent executive actions on immigration.
In a statement, Abbott said the president's unilateral action to offer deportation relief to millions of undocumented immigrants "tramples the U.S. Constitution's Take Care Clause and federal law."
The coalition of states involved in the suit includes: Alabama, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Maine, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, North Carolina, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, West Virginia and Wisconsin.

I would wonder why Arizona, New Mexico, and Nevada are not joining this suit? All have big Illegal problems

Iowa isn’t on the list, but I don’t know whether Branstad had the call. Our lefty Rat AG, who has been in office even longer than Branstad (who’ll soon have the all time, all state, record for most years as governor), may well have been the one to make the call. We ran a good young guy for AG, but he won big easily in spite of Joni winning big and Branstad winning by a landslide. He’ll probably only leave feet first.

“Good but I dont understand if they win what will be accomplished that obama could not just ignore.”
If the SCOTUS rules that Buckwheat is violating the law, the states can move against the federal bureaucrats and arrest them. The states can also shut down federal offices in their respective states.
And even worse are the feckless RINOs who want amnesty as badly as Obama.
Wow! Montana has a Dem gov.
We will see if SCOTUS continues to defend the thing that occupies the WH, or stands fully with the Constitution and the American People.
Yes we states do. Zero has turned up the spigot of border jumpers with his amesty promise that states didn.t budget for.
“How much you want to bet the supreme court says they dont have standing because no damage has been done...yet.”

Yes, possible, but how about OBAMACARE? Damage? We cannot even begin to calculate the damage, let alone the illegality of it all. Thank you John Roberts. We shall see.
Most of us here in Montana are conservative ... and heavily armed.
“Good but I dont understand if they win what will be accomplished that obama could not just ignore.”
If it could go to the SC, that would be good. Violating the separation of powers should be something even Roberts can see.
I don’t see Oklahoma or Tennessee either. I hope they join in.
Do they?
I'm inclined to disagree, give the responses I received from them.
That rather assumes the USSC respects the Constitution — I'm inclined to believe that they do not; several examples:
congress shall pass no lawdoesn't apply when
Congress has a right to preventsome substantive evils.
public useunder the 5th Amendment.
If you read Wickard v. Filburn, there was no actual commerce involved. Filburn was fined for growing wheat he fed to his own livestock, because by growing it himself he was potentially not engaging in the interstate commerce that might have resulted if he'd had to buy it.
“We will see if SCOTUS continues to defend the thing that occupies the WH, or stands fully with the Constitution and the American People.”
It really doesn’t matter what SCOTUS rules. Buckwheat and his fascist racist goons don’t obey the law, so why should we?
Get ready to kick federal fascist ass, Patriot777.
Thank God Maine is involved. Bless Lepage!
