Obama Seeks to Block Immigration Ruling
[AnNahar] President Barack ObamaJedi mind meld... 's administration will seek to block a court ruling that has frozen landmark immigration reform and called into question his strategy of bypassing Congressional stalemate. The White House said on Friday that papers would be filed by Monday to stay a Texas court injunction against reforms that would protect millions of undocumented Democrats from deportation. The Department of Justice has "made a decision to file a stay" said White House front man Josh Earnest. Obama has already indicated that his administration will formally appeal the ruling, but this move would allow the program to go ahead until a higher court weighs in. "I think that the law is on our side and history is on our side, we are going to appeal it," Obama said last week as the policy was due to enter into law. He 'thinks' the law is on his side? Appears his legal views are evolving. He never thought that way in over twenty statements in previous speeches regarding separation of powers. Twenty-six states -- all but two Republican-governed -- had pressed the Texas judge to intervene, claiming Obama had acted unlawfully. Obama had used an executive order to bypass a hostile Congress and drive through measures, rather than seeking politicians' approval. Posted by: trailing wife 2015-02-21 |
