Texas Gov. Greg Abbott announced on Monday night that a federal judge has “granted” his request to “halt” President Barack Obama’s “Executive Amnesty Order” across the country.

Abbott didn’t immediately offer any other details, but promised for information later.

We can win every court case forever it will not change what’s been done.

You're just a dead body, aren't you? Can you even conceive of fighting back?

Get off my lawn!

The nerve! He needs one of us night people here on FR to report.

I assume this has zero effect on the existing dreamer program?

THIS DECISION IS A MAJOR VICTORY AGAINST THE CRIMINAL ENTERPRISE KNOW AS THE OBAMA REGIME.

Yep, and all the hopeless dead bodies who are already wringing their hands in defeat, need to curl up and die somewhere!

Buck Ofama!

I got a warm feeling reading that, but didn’t get to vote for him. I’m glad you and many others did!

And Justice Scalia covers the 5th Circuit so he has first crack at any OBot appeal to the Supreme Court. ;’)

“This is huge. Any link will help!”

Heard it on Fox news tonight. It’s true.

“The Court specifically refused to address Texas’ other two challenges on the grounds that the record wasn’t yet sufficiently developed.

So, a limited win for Texas. The Feds can in time cure the specific procedural failure the judge identified (but probably not until right around the time Obama leaves office). But not the complete win on principle Texas (and conservatives everywhere) were hoping for.”

Thanks for the summary.

Once the procedural issue is fixed, couldn’t the other two issues be addressed?

The federal government will simply ignore this court ruling

That's why I'd like the TX gov to make it so they can't.
Force the FedGov to honor Art 4, Sec 4 or open itself up to Treason charges.

Doesn’t matter. Obama will just ignore...

blah, blah, blah, defeatism ad infinitum.

Find your spine, or go curl up and die somewhere.

The future must not belong to those who would follow Obama’s illegal orders.

PERFECT!

They better put texas militia around his house for protection because I’ll bet MS-13 and the goon squad probably owe each other favors...

If the “implementing agencies” try to test the judge, some of them will be hauled in.

May I suggest they be assigned to 'lamp post decoration'? I'm sure the Obots would look just smashing, swinging from hemp.

Thanks for pointing out the defeatist attitudes here. I have an overall attitude that the system heeds to collapse before we can rebuild and fix because it’s gone so far into fascism that one small step back won’t fix all the problems. BUT I hope I’m wrong so all the suffering won’t be necessary. And I enjoy each of our victories, no matter how small. We have to make it difficult for then, no matter the outcome. Else we are helping them.

What we need is additional states supporting Texas and those who stand with her. Don’t celebrate yet. Remember it wasn’t long ago that Ericka Andiola and her La Raza friends were giving us double one finger salutes. We have to be in this. No rah rahing, no taunting the other team, this is just like football; it goes to the last down...

My new state has! Beats living in Mexifornia, even if it is snowing and supposed to be -8 this week. Who would’ve thought the South had such winters?
