Federal Appeals Court Rules Against Obama's Immigration Plan

http://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/imm...n-plan-n460331

This means in all likely hood that this is headed for the SCOTUS.

It's difficult to say what they will do. But it all might be a moot point, since a future President Trump will simply nullify President Obama's Executive Order.

President Obama likes to say, "I am not a king".

Then here is a suggestion. Stop acting like one.

I would say the Fifth Circuit knows something or other about "immigration." And "Kings"!

I do not like UNLAWFUL executive orders regardless of the origin.

"Constitution grants exclusive power over immigration law to the federal government"


One could argue that the president is within his power to do so.

so your argument here is that since Obama signed less overall EO's than Reagan and Bush 1 and 2 he's less imperial? hmm. interesting point of view. but not surprising from someone who has his head up his ass.

it's not how many EO's you fool it's what those EO's mean and attempt to do.

and who by the way signed by far the most EO's?

why .. FDR of course that effete socialist big government snob that he was.

You can look up those executive orders. You'll find that Bush and some others made a lot of EOs about pardoning turkeys, calling attention to some special person, or something else that was benign. Obama doesn't do that. Remember, he is changing the fabric of the nation or that was he promise.

Odumbo issues 'executive orders by another name'
December 17, 2014

WASHINGTON — President Odumbo has issued a form of executive action known as the presidential memorandum more often than any other president in history — using it to take unilateral action even as he has signed fewer executive orders.

When these two forms of directives are taken together, Odumo is on track to take more high-level executive actions than any president since Harry Truman.
