5th Circuit Blocks Obama's Amnesty

2015-05-26

A federal appeals court upheld an injunction against President Obama's new deportation in a ruling Tuesday that marks the second major legal setback for an administration that had insisted its actions were legal.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit ruled in favor of Texas, which had sued to stop the amnesty, on all key points, finding that Mr. Obama's amnesty likely broke the law governing how big policies are to be written.

"The public interest favors maintenance of the injunction," the judges wrote in the majority opinion.

#4 A fun fact about the majority opinion is that it explicitly approves the use of the term "illegal alien". None of this "undocumented" stuff.

And when you read tomorrow about how evil and conservative the Fifth Circuit is, don't let them forget that the Fifth Circuit led the way in advancing civil rights.

#3 Article 1.
Section 8.

The Congress shall have power...
To establish a uniform rule of naturalization,...

However, that's the stupid Constitutional thingy which progressive want to burn - well, until it became their time to burn.

#2 A win for the rule of law.

Dissent claimed that this is a political issue that needs to be resolved by Congress and the Executive. This completely misses the point. Maybe immigration policy is a political issue, but whether or not the executive has the constitutional authority to act on its own is most certainly a legal one.

#1 Good.

...marks the second major legal setback for an administration that had insisted its actions were legal.

Pretty much nothing he is doing is legal. At this point impeachment would be too good for him.
