Mark Levin has admonished his audience for years to understand that we cannot rely on the courts or congress to restore liberty.
Judge Hanen in Texas for the Abbott 24+ State Lawsuit is the exact opposite of this liberal Judge Howell in DC.
Mark is correct but in this case there is no other ‘timely’ way to stop the amnesty process unless Congress does so at the end of February and you know they won’t.
There is another motion for Preliminary Injunction before Judge Hanen in Texas right now. I am busy tracking down the hearing date which I expect will be soon.
An interesting sidenote: a lawsuit filed by border agents in Texas in 2012 against DACA which was the trial balloon to what Obama is going now, that lawsuit made a big impression to the Judge who became very sympathetic but whose hands were tied because the agents as federal employees had to first go through the Personnel Review Board. They’ve been fighting there ever since and my information is they are making headway.
As far as this Arpaio case, Klayman was simply unlucky that he drew a judge who is deep inside the Leftist camp of Obama. There are other DC judges who are much more objective, neither right nor left as they should be.
There’s also a few more sheriffs that are preparing to file for the same reason, to stop the actions based on the Johnson memo. We can be sure their lawyers are learning from this hearing and taking note.
The good news is this Preliminary Injunction here was not denied as it was never considered. This Judge will dismiss based on standing alone so this action has no bearing on any case where standing is granted. So there will be no ‘Split’.
I was NOT surprised to see this case dismissed but I am very confident other cases will go forward.
This whole affair is just heating up.
