Federal Judge On Obama's Immigration Program: "Can I Trust What The President Says?"
Townhall ^ | March 20, 2015 | Conn Carroll

Posted on 03/21/2015 8:14:03 AM PDT by don-o

A federal judge pointedly asked Department of Justice lawyers Thursday if the court should still trust the Obama administration in light of false information it provided to the court.

"Can I trust what the president says? That's a yes or no question," U.S. District Court Judge Andrew Hanen asked Deputy Asst. U.S. Atty. Gen. Kathleen R. Hartnett.

"Yes your honor," Hartnett responded.

The questioning of President Obama's integrity stems from an overlap between the president's 2012 Deferred Action for Childhood Arrival program and his 2014 Deferred Action for Parental Accountability program.

But then, three weeks after Hanen issued his injunction stopping the DAPA program and DACA extension, DOJ notified Hanen that the Department of Homeland Security had issued over 100,000 three-year work permits under the new DACA guidelines.

"We strive to be as candid as possible," Hartnett told Hanen. "It truly became clear to us there was confusion on this point," she said.

"So you waited three weeks to tell me you were doing it?" Hanen responded.

That’s like asking Obama if he is a ‘Christian’.

Hey Kathy - that was a trick question! Everyone including you knows the answer.

The good Judge just wanted to see if you’d own up to it.

Remember when Obama declined public funds for his presidential campaign so he could keep getting big money from Saudi Sheiks and Hollywood after saying unequivocally that he would accept the funds? It’s been the same thing ever since. We who have been busy reading comments on FR know that when he says something, we know the opposite is true. I guess the judge doesn’t read FR.

No, no you cannot.
You can't trust Congress or the USSC either.

Well, judge, this is America after all, and in America our motto is:

Barry is working really hard this morning. Watching Women’s NCAA basketball (Princeton). ESPN had their obligatory shout out.

I also meant to say, “the One” is in attendance. Not satisfied by watching it on TV, we have to pay for him to be there.

Didn’t McConnell use this court case and the judge’s ruling as his excuse for caving on the funding for Homeland? Yes he did.

He needs to hold the Lynch nomination hostage until the DOJ complies with the anticipated order that Hanen will issue on Monday or Tuesday for DOJ to turn over evidence of its lawlessness and contempt.
