BREAKING: Obama Executive Amnesty Takes Another Hit From Appeals Court

The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals has knocked down an Obama administration request to lift a stay issued earlier this year on the implementation of President Obama's December 2014 executive action on illegal immigration. His executive action shields 5 million illegal immigrants in the United States from immediate deportation.

In February, Federal Judge Andrew S. Hanen first issued the stay and denied a request for it to be lifted by the administration in April. Hanen also publicly scolded Department of Justice attorneys, slammed Homeland Security for failing to comply with the stay and questioned President Obama's integrity over the issue. Twenty-six states, with Texas leading the way, brought the lawsuit against the action late last year.

BREAKING: Texas just won the Executive Amnesty case at the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals. The constitution wins.

2:02 PM - 26 May 2015

The administration can now make a direct appeal to the Supreme Court for a ruling. Because this is an emergency case, the Supreme Court could take up the case and come up with a decision within the next two weeks.

“Because this is an emergency case, the Supreme Court could take up the case and come up with a decision within the next two weeks.”

Doesn’t it have to go thru Alito to get there?

2 - 1 Dissenting Judge is an Obamabot! On May 5, 2011, President Obama announced his intent to nominate Higginson to a seat on the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit and submitted the nomination to the Senate on May 9, 2011.[4]

Sen. Mary Landrieu had recommended Higginson to Obama for the vacancy in November 2010.[5] The Senate confirmed Higginson’s nomination by a vote of 88–0 on October 31, 2011, and he was sworn into office on November 2, 2011. He fills the seat that had been held by Judge Jacques L. Wiener, Jr., who took senior status in 2010.

What a waste going to the SCOTUS...

When they rule against Obama, he will do whatever he wants anyway...

He knows Congress will do nothing...

You do realize that the opening poster was simply copying the title verbatim from the source as we are instructed to do to help other folks from posting a duplicate by using the search function.

Go in and enter your comment on Townhall.com since they originated the title. Just submitting my defense of a fellow FReeper.

Yes, understand we are to take the headline as published. My comment was more towards townhall.com than Servant of the Cross.
