The administration warned a federal judge Monday to stay out of the debate over President Obamas deportation amnesty, saying decisions about whom to deport fall squarely within the executives job description, which this court lacks authority to review. In its first extended legal filing in one of the court challenges to the new amnesty, the Justice Department says courts have long held that an agencys decision whether or not to prosecute someone or to enforce the law is entitled to absolute discretion.Federal courts sit to decide cases and controversies, not to resolve disagreements about policy or politics, said Joyce R. Branda, the acting assistant attorney general who took the lead on filing the brief.
Ms. Branda said the administration had to impose the new deportation amnesty because immigration enforcement has become too costly in recent years, outpacing the amount of money Congress provides, so picking and choosing which illegal immigrants to deport is the best use of taxpayers money.

Yes, Jim, every day Obama usurps power he doesn't have. Every day I wonder what new edict he will put out that day as he grabs more illegal power. Now, he's claiming he can write a memo and that is law. Perhaps tomorrow he will speak into a recorder and say that is law. Perhaps the next day he will crown himself King and say that is law. Perhaps the next day the King will arrest me and Kartographer for being preppers who Homeland Security says are possible domestic terrorists. Perhaps the next day you are arrested for having a website that is critical of the “King”.
The point is, he is claiming absolute power over these United States and every citizen in them. The one person I see who is standing up to actually stop Obama’s grab of ultimate power is Texas Governor Elect Greg Abbott (still Texas Attorney General at this writing). He is trying right now to get an injunction from a judge in Brownsville to stop Obama giving amnesty to the illegals.
At one time, Abbott said he goes to his office every day, sues Obama, and goes home to do the same thing the next day. He has won the majority of the cases he has brought against Obama’s government. I'm sure Holder hates Abbott's guts. Abbott in his wheelchair won't give up.
Our country is in peril due to this usurper Obama.
The frightening thing to me is that Obama is not Satan. The real thing will be both more intelligent and more energetic than Obama. Considering how many people were taken in by this JV thug and how much damage he did to a great country, it's easy to imagine how much worse the end times will be. I thank God (literally) that we will not have to face the Varsity on our own.
