The basis for the present stay is the failure to meet notification and comment requirements. Funding has nothing to do with that statutory requirement (APA?) You lawyers might oughta read the district courts order. The delay proposed may have something to do with the judicial process, I’m just guessing. Dems sure seem to be worried about it.
See above
The present stay is not related to funding, as you note. The delay is due to the Exec Action not having a 60 day comment period.
Funding is is lacking though. Hence _next time_ the bill is before the court, funding may indeed be the issue.
Since the courts have stopped it, why would 0bama, Reid, and Pelosi want to fund it anyway “and let the courts decide it later”? Curious eh?
They’re saying that b/c the fact that congress funds it would be sufficient for the courts to resolve that congress _does_ intend to allow this to be done by this president. “Why else would they fund it” is the layman’s pov.
So funding it does indeed “legalize” the amnesty.
