It’s not just an amnesty plan anymore. It’s an invasion.

Oh and Chief Justice Roberts?

Did you need any extra copies of those (ahem) compromising pictures we sent to you just before that historic ObamaCare vote? Just let us know if you need more for your family and friends, ok?

Happy Thanksgiving!

https://www.texastribune.org/2015/11/24/doj-urges-supreme-court-deny-states-request-extens/

Texas, leading a 26-state coalition that has successfully blocked the plan in lower courts, has asked the high court for a delay that some predict would push any ruling so late into - or even beyond - Obama’s last term that it would effectively doom the proposal.

It was the federal government’s move Tuesday, and the U.S. Department of Justice asked the court to reject Texas’ request for a 30-day extension to file its brief in the case, but says it is open to an eight-day delay if the response is “physically on file” at that time.

A full delay could mean the high court doesn’t render a final decision on the program - known as Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents - until June 2017, U.S. Solicitor General Donald B. Verrilli Jr. said in a letter to Supreme Court Clerk Scott S. Harris. That would be more than two years after the president announced the policy that would protect more than four million undocumented immigrants from deportation proceedings and allow them to apply for three-year work permits.

Brownsville-based U.S. District Judge Andrew Hanen has already struck down the program, finding that Obama violated federal law by enacting it through an executive order, and the U.S. 5th Circuit Court of Appeals has upheld that ruling.

The White House filed its appeal with the Supreme Court on Friday, and Texas promptly requested a 30-day extension to respond.

Texas Solicitor General Scott Keller cited several other cases the state has pending before the court that it must prepare for. He also said the White House could have acted sooner if it was worried about the immediate effects of the lower courts’ rulings.

It’s unclear when the high court will decide on the extension, but the justice department said it’s prepared to press on should the extension be granted.

“We note, however, that should state respondents’ request for a 30-day extension be granted, we anticipate filing a motion for expedition and a May argument session to permit the case to be heard this Term,” Verrilli wrote.

Bet they refuse to hear it. There is no reason for them to hear it. By all admissions, Obama’s plan breaks the law.

Obama’s aim is to get the documents to at least 4 million to 7 million illegals, and up to 34 million (the 34 mil number is sourced from the federal register) AND ... then get them immediate citizenship by coaching them to lie that they have been in the USA for at least 5 years, AND ... then registered to vote.

Once they are given expedited citizenship status, they will be relocated to critical swing districts around the country where they will be used to keep power in the democrats hands for generations so that the ‘Fundamental Transformation’ is never derailed.

Let’s pray the USSC does not take it up this session. If they put it on next year’s calendar, the case won’t be heard until mid-2017 when Obama and his hang will be gone.

Judicial Watch Sues Obama Administration for Records about Citizenship Push for Immigrants
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3362716/posts

Immigration Services would normally conduct a criminal and security background investigation of an immigration applicant upon his or her filing for naturalization. In 2012, Immigration Services abandoned required background checks, adopting, instead, “ lean and lite “ procedures in effort to keep up with the flood of amnesty applications spurred by President Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) executive amnesty, an expansion of which has been ruled illegal by the federal courts. Nevertheless, thousands of illegal aliens exempted from deportation under Obama’s unilateral amnesty moves are also potentially eligible for citizenship . The Obama administration has already have admitted into the United States a large number of people with documented ties to ISIS and other radical Islamic groups. Refugees (from Syria, Somalia, and other countries) can become citizens as soon as six years after being granted refugees or asylum status in the United States.

Obama’s plan is not to wait for the years to pass to confer citizenship. Members of Congress have already stated a plan exists to have the illegals lie that they have been in the USA for the years required for immediate citizenship qualification.

The numbers planned for this illegal granting of citizenship is not in the thousands, it is in the millions. The reason behind these moves to citizenship is to confer eligibility to vote.

What we need to do is build a whole bunch of gallows because in about a year we’re going to need to do a lot of hanging of these criminals currently occupying the federal gov.starting with everyone at the white hut.

If true, this isn't an offense suitable for impeachment. It is out-and-out treason, grounds for summary dispatch.

You’re far too charitable. We have nine unelected political hacks in black muumuus to lord it over us.

And our forefathers fought a revolution for this?

His first illegal amnesty for illegal aliens, DACA is also illegal. He has no authority to grant legal status to illegal aliens.

If we had an opposition party they would have been in court the day after he did that in 2012. But they want amnesty, too.

Trump said at his last rally that he doesn’t care what reasoning lies behind Obama’s plans, we just need to get him OUT OF THERE NOW!

I thought there might be a small sliver of fear behind the confidence in Donald Trump when he said it because he repeated “We don’t have much time”, “If we could call for a special election like other countries, we should hold the election tomorrow”.

And then there’s Valerie Jarrett stating just days ago that Obama’s no lame duck and that big things are planned in his final year.

What we need is hard intelligence of what is planned. We need patriots to blow the whistle even if it means putting their lives in danger.

Sounds radical and extreme but unfortunately, it may be what is needed. Gallows on the Mall to leave a historical record and imprint of what Americans did to traitors at the beginning of the 21st century.
