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.

I doubt there will ever be any hammer, like Al Gore before him he will claim there is no legal controlling authority and nobody will do anything to stop him.
This would be funny if it weren’t so sad to see a president just pi$$ on the Constitution.
Issuing those should bring criminal charges, but it won’t. It’s a clear violation of law.
Let’s just hope McConnell and Boehner don’t find a way to bail him out! It would not surprise me in the least to discover these two anti-conservatives are looking for a way to do so ... I really mean this.
They actually can bail him out. They can have a hearing of the changes and approve of them. Here's hoping they're not that bad yet.
Brace yourself for anything these days....
From the linked article:
“Judge Stephen A. Higginson dissented from Tuesday’s ruling, saying he would have left the fight over immigration policy to the White House and Congress, saying Mr. Obama should have broad discretion to decide who gets deported and how he goes about that.”
There’s so much wrong with that opinion, if that’s indeed the gist of his dissent.
1. Congress’ “failure to act” is effectively saying “no”, which is the opposite of giving Obama permission to move forward regardless.
2. Obama’s actions are in violation of existing law, not a matter of his discretion.
3. Failure to secure borders, issuing work permits, ordering INS not to deport - at some point, even if he has legal discretion - those are all matters of failure to implement the law, for which he should be removed from office.
Totally agree but it’s to be expected from Higginson, an activist lib appointed by 0bama.
wonder how all the rain in texas is affecting the number of illegals drowning trying to cross into texas.
The dissent reads like a selection of excerpts from Rachel Maddow broadcasts.
A very unjudicial collection of political talking points.
Mark Levin explains today’s federal court SMACK DOWN of Obama’s illegal amnesty like only he can
On Tuesday night, the “big three” of ABC, CBS, and NBC neglected to mention news that the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals had ruled earlier in the day against President Obama’s executive amnesty...
The White House comments:
” “Today, two judges of the Fifth Circuit chose to misrepresent the facts and the law,” a White House spokeswoman, Brandi Hoffine, said. “
LoL 180 degrees out of phase.
Thanks, Syncro. Not much of a surprise they “forgot” to report on it.
Priceless! 0bama and lapdogs are in sync as usual.
Right on, FRiend!
