Texas Senator Ted Cruz is calling the injunction issued last night by U.S. District Judge Andrew Hanen, blocking President Obama's executive amnesty, a "major victory for the rule of law." Cruz has been leading the fight against President Obama's recent executive action on illegal immigration and is calling on Democrats to reconsider their opposition to DHS funding.
"The Texas court decision reached last night is a major turning point in the fight to stop Obama's lawless amnesty," said Sen. Cruz. "Gov. Abbott and Attorney General Paxton are leading a coalition of 26 states to block the illegal executive actions and to protect our states, cities, and communities. This is a major victory for the rule of law; the District Court's ruling states that President Obama must now stop implementing these policies in 'any and all aspects.' Last summer we saw a humanitarian crisis on our southern border that was a direct consequence of Obama's previous amnesty. Republicans are now standing together to try to ensure that it never happens again," Cruz said in a statement. "The Senate Democrats who are filibustering Department of Homeland Security funding should look hard at this ruling. At a time when we face grave national security threats, at home and abroad, it is the height of irresponsibility for the Democrats to block this funding in an extreme attempt to save Obama's amnesty, which a federal judge has just declared illegal."
The injunction will allow the courts to look at the constitutionality of the action. As Conn wrote this morning, the Department of Justice will appeal the injunction and the White House expressed disappointment in the decision.
Wouldn't that be refreshing?
Ted Cruz is the one guy running for 2016 that hasn’t endorsed “Comprehensive Screwing of Americans Out of Their Country.”
Ping
For those who tuned in late, Obama is not at all big on obeying the law.
It would seem that he feels it’s only for the ‘little people.’
ELIMNATE:
DHS
EPA
IRS
DOE
DOE
for starters.
“Texas Senator Ted Cruz is calling the injunction issued last night by U.S. District Judge Andrew Hanen, blocking President Obama’s executive amnesty, a “major victory for the rule of law.”
That’s a fact. Let’s count how many stupid surrender monkey trolls jump on this thread and tell us that Buckwheat will win in the end. This defeatist attitude is all over FR tonight.
To hell with these snakes. Crawl under a rock and disappear, you losers. I stand with Mr. Cruz.
Thank God for Sen. Cruz, who seems to be doing and saying all the right things, but sadly seems to be falling in the early recent GOP 2016 polls.
Cruz or Walker. Either is fine with me.
The lamestream media chooses the Republican candidate. We’ll get ‘McCained’ in 2016.
I'm happy for this small win, but we can't exactly call this injunction a major victory yet.
“The lamestream media chooses the Republican candidate. We’ll get ‘McCained’ in 2016.”
Really? How do you know that? Are you a soothsayer? Or have you embraced defeat before the battle begins?
Good points.
Did the lamestream media choose Reagan?
It’s not just tonite. I see it all too often here. I’m real tired of the defeatists, too.
Dang, Cruz was just on with Megyn Kelly, and, as usual, argued powerfully against Obama’s fiat amnesty!
“It’s not really major victory.”
WTH, you damn better believe it’s a major victory. This decision threw a wrench in Buckwheat’s fascist program. Everything else you wrote is speculative monkey crap.
The judge wrote a legally tight and factual opinion that can only be reversed by dunderhead communists. If that happens, it gives us the legal, moral and constitutional justification to hang them from lampposts.
Obama will continue in secret
...if any move is made to implement Obama's "memo" they can be hauled in and jailed.
Its about time something good happened.
