A longtime thorn in the side of the Obama administration's immigration policy got the first chance to stick it to the president Monday, arguing in court that his sweeping immigration order -- designed to spare nearly 5 million people from deportation -- is unconstitutional.
Arizona county Sheriff Joe Arpaio and his attorney Larry Klayman argued before U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell in Washington, D.C., in the first courtroom hearing for a case against the immigration actions.
"We have serious issues of constitutionality involved," attorney Larry Klayman told reporters, after the hearing.
Howell, during the hearing, seemed skeptical of the lawsuit brought by Arpaio, the Maricopa County sheriff known for his tough approach to illegal immigration.
Howell repeatedly questioned whether Arpaio has legal standing to challenge Obama's action. She told Klayman that Congress is in a better position to question the president's authority rather than a federal court.
A lawyer for the Obama administration called Arpaio's case a "political dispute" that should be dismissed. Howell, an Obama nominee, said she would issue a ruling soon.

I wonder what the LV odds are on whether she will dismiss the suit?
The federal court is FIXED.
There was no honest draw.
This was decided in the White House.
More people should be willing to take Emperor Ovaltine on.
WTG Joe! We are supportive.
However, the liberal Judge acted skeptically about Joes case at the hearing.

“The federal court is FIXED. There was no honest draw.

Are you surprised at that?
Joe will win on appeal GO JOE GO
Go Joe!!! Get Him!
I’m tired of the elite saying the people don’t have standing. That’s bull.
I had hopes we would have fared better in court today:

No Orly Taitz?
Larry is every bit the lawyer that Orly is, but he is not that great on root canals. Larry is so good that he is known as “The White Algonquin J. Calhoun!”
Ditto.
Another fundraising scheme from the Arizona sheriff.
I’m still waiting for the “earthshattering announcement” that Arpaio promised he’d make last March.
Maybe he meant March 2017?
“Maybe he meant March 2017?”
The evidence which the Maricopa County Cold Case Posse investigation has discovered has to be brought forward to either a judiciary or legislative authority willing to take effective action against Obama and his administration. As we have all seen, the state and Federal judiciary are using every judicial and political means available, fair and foul, to deny standing and other qualifications needed to bring such a case to trial. The courts have also at times ruled that the question is a political question not suitable for trial in a court of law. Accordingly, efforts have been made to bring the question and the evidence before the Federal and state political authorities. Governor Jan Brewer and her state authorities have acted to obstruct efforts to present the evidence to a trier of fact in the State of Arizona. Efforts have also been made to take the evidence to the Congress and have the Congress use the evidence to settle the issue. Senator Reid and McConnell have obstructed any and all efforts to secure a hearing of the evidence in the Senate, much less take any action towards settling the question with a Senate trial of a House of Representatives impeachment of Obama. The House of Representatives has some members who encouraged Sheriff Arpaio they would assist him to take action on the evidence, but Boehner and Pelosi have obstructed those efforts as well, making the prospect of an impeachment of Obama an impossible one so long as the Establishment Republicans control the GOP in the House of Representatives and the Senate.
Since there is currently no other state of Federal governmental authority available willing to act upon the evidence against Obama and his Administration, the evidence must remain confidential and suspended until there is a governmental authority willing to use it to take effective action. That is why you are not hearing much about the investigation and its evidence. The Congressmen who said they would use Arpaio’s evidence to take action have not kept their promises.

Thank you very much!
Sessions of the House Of Representatives begin each day with one minute speeches. There has never been a one minute speech on Obama’s eligibility.
Sessions of the House close the day with “Special Orders” speeches where members can speak as long as they like on any subject. There has never been a Special Orders Speech on Obama’s eligibility.
Neither Boehner nor Mc Connell has the power to stop members of their caucuses from addressing Obama’s eligibility if any member wants to discuss the issue.
