A federal judge has found parts of President Obama’s new deportation amnesty to be unconstitutional, issuing a scathing memo Tuesday accusing him of usurping Congress’s power to make laws, and dismantling most of the White House’s legal reasoning for circumventing Congress.
Judge Arthur J. Schwab, sitting in the western district of Pennsylvania, said presidents do have powers to use discretion in deciding how to enforce the law, but said Mr. Obama’s new policy goes well beyond that, setting up a full system for granting legal protections to broad groups of individuals. He said Mr. Obama writing laws — a power that’s reserved for Congress, not the president.
“President Obama’s unilateral legislative action violates the separation of powers provided for in the United States Constitution as well as the Take Care Clause, and therefore is unconstitutional,” Judge Schwab wrote.
The judge also said the policy allows illegal immigrants “to obtain substantive rights.”
The memo came as part of a deportation case before the judge, and Judge Schwab’s order does not invalidate the president’s policies. But it serves as a warning shot as other direct challenges to the new amnesty begin to make their way through the courts.

That happening would not surprise me in the least. History Channel last night, program about leaders of the Roman Empire. Nero and Obama —— like two peas in a pod. Unbelievable similarity in ethics and deeds.
No ruling. Only a “comment”.
I don’t trust democrats either, especially ones like harry Reid.
Ted Cruz did the right thing, calling 0 out on 0’s illegal and unconstitutional acts, and bringing it up in congress.
The oath to Defend the Constitution doesn’t have the words “when the opportune time comes up” in it.
Enthusiastically spread the word about the “Protest Against Obama Amnesty” rally across America for 2015-01-03 ... Ted Cruz, Jeff Sessions, Mike Lee (et al) will GREATLY appreciate our support ... A great Patriot turn-out WILL encourage the Senate and House GOP to dump McConnell and Boehner ... God Bless America ...

But remember: 3 Million, registered Republicans Did NOT VOTE in 2012 Because they “ didn’t like Rom- the-man!
DEMORATS ALWAYS VOTE! and always VOTE Straight Democrats- when will Republicans learn. WE put Obama (and others) in office!
When will we see the judge’s obituary where he died of an apparent heart attack?
