Judge Hanen Ruling – Allowing Obama DOJ To Exit Nervously
Conservative Treehouse ^ | Jan 24 2017 | Sundance

Posted on 01/24/2017 6:15:36 AM PST by Whenifhow

I can’t speak highly enough of Judge Andrew Hanen. He stood alone in the gap, steadfast, against the entire weaponized Obama DOJ and White House apparatus…

Backstory HERE – and HERE – and HERE – and HERE

After a three-year-long Mexican standoff – today Judge Hanen rears righteously back in his chair, launches a well-chewed batch of tobaccy into the spittoon next to the swinging doors of the saloon, and deliberately says ‘git out‘….

The twitchy DOJ lawyers stumble all over themselves as they clamor desperately backwards for the exit.

[page 7] Nevertheless, two important factors have arisen since the time the Government finally chose to file the evidence long-requested by the Court. First, the country has held a national election—the result of which has caused the parties to file a motion to stay. As stated above, that issue will be addressed in a separate order. Second, and more directly related to the evaluation of the need for remedial action, the second anniversary for the three-year Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) extensions —the subject matter of the misrepresentations— has come and gone. (ruling link)

This ruling is a magnificent read:

Also of concern here, and I assume the judge was telegraphing, that no State has filed a statement of harm. Sort of like Roberts’ ruling on the ACA that it was a tax and should the tax prove to be onerous, then the court could strike it down. No one put forward that claim and thus bad law motors on. Opportunities lost :(

EXACTLY RIGHT. He let the DOJ skate. The government should be held to the strictest possible standard, and he let them off when the evidence of intentional misconduct was unrefutable. An example of, as Trump said at the Inauguration, words but no action. They should have been disbarred, and every “lawyer” on the team should have been investigated.

The original DACA program continues.
USCIS is still processing legal papers for illegal aliens.
Every day that goes by without action another 40-50 illegal aliens are given work papers and permission to remain here.
The judge stopped DAPA and an expansion on DACA known as DACA+, but the original DACA goes on.

President Trump must act to stop DACA immediately, at least stop accepting new applications even if they do not rescind papers already issued.

A few snips from article are below.

No, President Trump Does Not Need To Take Immediate Action on DACA – Here’s Why…
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2017/01/24/no-president-trump-does-not-need-to-take-immediate-action-on-daca-heres-why/

Yes, DACA will be removed – in a logical, methodical, prudent and sequential time frame. Know and understand the enemy.

Now is not the time to act on this issue.

If Trump were to take action now to remove DACA, not only would it provide the fuel to energize the opposition to his administration, he would also find few defenders within the Republican congress for immediacy in action.

Nothing would please Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi more than to have the issues around the immigration gang-of-eight bill hijack the current approach of the Trump agenda. Schumer, Pelosi and crew would enjoy nothing more than pulling out the racist, nativist, bigot cards and the media would like nothing more than to showcase them.

None of Obama’s lawyers has been held accountable. Not a single one has been disbarred. No one is going to jail. They all got away with their malfeasance.

Chill out and quitchyerbitchin. One thing at a time.

First of all it's only day 2 of DJT's presidency and Sessions - the new sheriff who can do something about this -- hasn't even been confirmed yet.

When DJT talks about reducing the federal workforce by 20% who do you think Sessions will pick to go first?

Then as private citizens without the Fed apparatus or their old bosses to back them up, bring them up on charges for lying to a Federal judge.

Get the popcorn. This is gonna be fun.

FReegards!

From the linked article:
Additionally, all of Trump’s GOPe detractors would be empowered to act against him through various constructs of non support. Microphones and cameras would immediately be shoved into the face of Marco Rubio, Jeff Flake, Lindsey Graham, John McCain, Kevin McCarthy and Paul Ryan.
******************************************************

All of these traitors need to be removed from office.

Have we forgotten that amnesty, the gang-of-eight bill, was only 48 hours from passage IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES when Eric Cantor was primaried in 2014? Even the current OMB Director nominee Rep Mick “cantalopes” Mulvaney was in support of the Go8 bill.
******************************************

It was my district Cantorizing our weasel Eric Cantor that stopped the Gang of Eight amnesty.
Every district that has a duplicitous weasel needs to do the same, especially South Carolina and Arizona.
Mulvaney is just one of South Carolina’s many elected Cheap Labor Express Republicans, almost all of their Congressional delegation are Cheap Labor Express Republicans, even the showhorse Trey Gowdy.
Arizona pretty much only elects Cheap Labor Express stooges with the exception of Trent Franks.

Bump for later. A simple bookmarking method used by many Freepers. Many just use the single word ‘Bump’.

Close...bookmark for later...

A simple bookmarking method used by many Freepers.
...but you got the right idea.

Many just use the single word ‘Bump’.

Bump, or BTTT (Bump to the top) is a means of moving an article or reply to the top of the list if you have "Comments" (vs "Activities" or "Articles") as your primary choice for viewing.

In this particular case, jackibutterfly, I was heading out to work shortly and didn't want to have to scroll through several pages of "Articles" to find this thread again. "bfl" the thread and under "My Comments" it's right near the top.

For your viewing pleasure from years ago...The 2009 FreeRepublic Lexicon
Bump is used when someone wants to post a reply to a thread simply to "bump" it back to the top of the "Latest Posts" list so more visitors will see it. See also BTTT in the acronyms section.
