Please be true. Even if this gets tied up in the courts on the way up to the SC it’s better than any of this crap sandwich moving forward.

HEY OBAMA.... YOU SUCK!

Somewhere somehow, there will be some Lib Fed judge that will negate this ruling. I hope I’m wrong but...

Abbott statement (as excerpted from AP article:

"President Obama abdicated his responsibility to uphold the United States Constitution when he attempted to circumvent the laws passed by Congress via executive fiat, and Judge Hanen's decision rightly stops the President's overreach in its tracks. We live in a nation governed by a system of checks and balances, and the President's attempt to by-pass the will of the American people was successfully checked today. The District Court's ruling is very clear — it prevents the President from implementing the policies in 'any and all aspects.' "

Don’t jump to conclusions. The liberals always win in the end.

If Gov. Abbot were serious about the issue he'd also declare a state of invasion and call the National Guard up to militarily secure the border. This would give him the legal standing to smack down a higher court [even the supreme court] overturning it, or another executive order, or even congressional action; the TX Constitution gives him such authority:

Art 4, Sec. 7. COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF OF MILITARY FORCES; CALLING FORTH MILITIA.
He shall be Commander-in-Chief of the military forces of the State, except when they are called into actual service of the United States. He shall have power to call forth the militia to execute the laws of the State, to suppress insurrections, and to repel invasions.

The Relevant Portions of the US Constitution are the definition of Treason and the guarantee/obligation that the federal government will protect the states from invasion.
