A federal judge in Texas has ordered the Obama administration to halt plans to grant special immigration status to 4 to 5 million individuals who entered the United States illegally or overstayed their visas.

US District Judge Andrew Hanen issued a preliminary injunction late Monday to block federal officials from implementing programs that stem from President Obama’s executive action on immigration announced last November.

The judge said the executive branch was engaged in a “complete abdication” of statutory goals set by Congress.

“The government has pointed this Court to no law that gives [the Department of Homeland Security] such wide-reaching discretion to turn 4.3 million individuals from one day being illegally in the country to the next day having lawful presence,” the judge wrote.

Judge Hanen’s injunction effectively halts the expansion of the administration’s immigration program until the courts can examine whether it complies with regulatory procedures, federal immigration statutes, and the Constitution. Any appeal of the injunction will be directed to the Fifth US Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans, and perhaps, eventually, to the US Supreme Court.

Republicans in Congress have called the president’s unilateral immigration action illegal and unconstitutional. They have sought to block the effort legislatively through amendments to the Department of Homeland Security’s appropriations bill. That effort threatens to shut down funding to DHS on Feb. 27.

In the meantime, Texas and 25 other states filed suit in federal court in Brownsville, Texas, challenging the president’s actions.

Specifically, Hanen found the Obama administration had enacted a substantive government regulation without following the proper legal procedures, such as offering interested parties an opportunity to receive notice of the new rules and give comments.

Judge (Andrew) Napolitano: Executive Amnesty Dealt a Major Blow

"This is devastating for the administration,” Napolitano said. “This is a preliminary injunction which means the court viewed the court’s documents and challenger’s documents…and he made two conclusions. 1) At the end of the case, the challengers will probably prevail, meaning the president probably overstepped his bounds and he has ordered the Department of Homeland Security to create new law.

“And 2) if he does not impose the temporary restraints that he imposed last night, actually, irreparable harm will be visited upon the 26 states,” Napolitano explained.

“In my opinion, the Obama amnesty plan is dead. Absolutely dead,” Napolitano told Kelly. “I don’t think the appeals court will interfere with this decision, And I think it will take this trial judge for the duration of President Obama’s term to rule on this with finality.”

Marshall lived another nine years, during which time he won over Jefferson's political successor, the states' rights partisan Andrew Jackson. Marshall had initially opposed Jackson's election to the presidency, and in the Cherokee Indians case, Worcester v. Georgia (1832), Marshall infuriated Jackson by insisting that Georgia laws that purported to seize Cherokee lands on which gold had been found violated federal treaties. Jackson is famous for having responded: "John Marshall has made his decision, now let him enforce it." Although the comment is probably apocryphal, both Georgia and Jackson simply ignored the decision. But in 1832, when South Carolina declared that it had the power to nullify federal laws with which it disagreed, Jackson at least temporarily embraced Marshall's vision of judicial authority, issuing a proclamation of the Supreme Court's ultimate power to decide constitutional questions and emphasizing that its decisions had to be obeyed. When Marshall died three years later, Jackson hailed him as a national hero -- but he also appointed men to the Court who would move Marshall's nationalism in the direction of states' rights.

you will never see a picture of the real "darksiders", 1 they will kill the photograph, they will kill the editor, they will kill the owner of the news outlet. they know it or will learn it. furthermore the more a human being try to look as a member of the darkside the less he is .



it can look like a wasp for the ignorant but it ain't (I am speaking of the prey).

I like Napolitano a lot, but I don't see his analysis of the first conclusion as having much merit. The first judge made a conclusion, not based on how future appeals courts will rule, but on how the first judge saw the law. The judge wasn't ruling that an appeals court will probably rule that Obama overstepped his bounds; he ruled that Obama DID overstep his bounds, and now an appeal court will take that up wholesale. That doesn't translate to me to mean an appeals court is either likely or unlikely to agree. I find it just as likely an appeals court overturns the earlier decision as upholds it, especially in high profile cases. Power tends to side with power, so I'd be more surprised if the appeals court upheld the injunction rather than overturned it.
