BOCA RATON, Fla. — Texas Gov. Rick Perry said the Lone Star State might sue Barack Obama’s administration over the president’s planned executive order to grant relief to as many as 5 million undocumented immigrants.
“I think that’s probably a very real possibility,” Perry said during a panel here at the Republican Governors Association’s annual meeting.
Perry, who is considering another presidential bid in 2016, said the cost of illegal immigration is “extraordinary.” He said his state spends $12 million a month on securing the border.
Perry remarked that state Attorney General Greg Abbott, who was recently elected governor, has described his current job like this: “I go to the office, I sue Obama and I go home.”
Me too! I think he’s going to be tough which is what Texas needs!
In light of that, I don't give much credence to anything he might way vis a vis opposing Obama's amnesty or what he might do to counter it.
Defy Obama and make him sue you.
Agree.
The Constitution grants the SC “original jurisdiction” (good search term for you)in matters between a state and the feds. It is optional, they can have the matter handled by a lower court if they wish.
There are lots of cases of Circuit Justices issuing injunctions against states, but I confess I’ve found no instances of a Circuit Justice issuing one against the feds except on appeal. IANAL or expert!
Do you not understand that our Republic is about to be destroyed??
Do you not understand that Perry, McConnell, Boehner and other evil GOPe pukes are doing absolutely nothing to stop anything Obama does?
Haters? Our Founders would be screaming for us to tar and feather the traitorous RINOs.
Agreed again.
I agree. I think it is a wise move as Perry is doing the job and Texas is that Obama and his pals should be doing.
That's the only hope I hold out.
I don't count on Perry for doing anything conservative on purpose or on his own.
I know better.

We are in one of the most perilous situations that our country has ever experienced. We need a hero.
Did he add the free in state tuition for the illegals to the 12 mil that he is all for?
And ALSO, where did this 5 million new LEGAL residents come from. I thought Oasshole was going to grant it to 11 million illegal invaders.
When our founders were alive Tx was Mexico.
Perry is State. McConnell and Boehner are Federal. What do you expect the State to do about it until an EO is issued.
I know you want result RIGHT NOW! but that isn't how the real world works, if you are above the age of toddler.
And I didn't vote for any of those liberal republican bastards.

You know the answer.
Its political posturing.
When the feds are lawless, when the courts decree black is white, when they are actively destroying our nation, it is beyond time to tell them to go to hell!

Fraud boy shoulda did that 6 years ago when he began screwing with Texas.
Rick is just fine with illegals. He gives them bennies.
Sure are a lot of experts on Texas around here tonight.
