We don't have legal standing ping!

I just love it when a court says the plaintiff “lacks standing.” Technical weasel words. It supports the president, even though what he does is illegal.
The court is saying “we know it’s illegal, but we’re not going to do anything about it. Nobody has the right to challenge the word of Obama.”
Other states have argued that the deferred action programs and associated work permits would have a net positive financial effect on state coffers.
Which “other” states?
The states need to declare war on mexico and put an end to this nonsense.
“Four Democratic senators are urging an appeals court to let the Obama administration move forward on immigration.
Sens. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.), Chris Coons (D-Del.) and Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii) on Tuesday filed an amicus brief that calls on the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals to overturn an injunction blocking implementation of Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) deferred deportation programs.
“President Obama’s executive action on immigration was well within his legal authority and was a step towards reforming our broken immigration system,” the senators said in a statement. “The Senate has an interest in ensuring that when Congress gives the Executive Branch the authority and responsibility to execute America’s immigration laws in a humane and thoughtful manner, the federal courts respect Congress’s decision.”
The Fifth Court of Appeals is expected to hear oral arguments next week on the administration’s push to overturn a ruling by District Judge Andrew Hanen, who put a temporary hold on Obama’s attempts to slow deportations and grant benefits to some people in the country illegally.
The senators said that it would be a “disaster” if Hanen’s decision is upheld.
“It will be a disaster not just for immigration law but for federal governance generally,” they said. “If a judge can stop the Secretary of Homeland Security from providing commonsense guidance on immigration officials’ exercise of prosecutorial discretion, not only will it be impossible to have a reasoned immigration policy in this country, it will be impossible for other federal agencies to operate in a manner that is consistent and rational.”
The senators’ brief follows a brief from 181 House Democrats.
Stephen Kinnaird, the counsel of record and co-chair of the appellate practice of Paul Hastings LLP, pointed out that the senators are all past or present chairman or ranking members of the Senate Judiciary Committee’s administrative law committee.
“Core principles of administrative law hang in the balance,” Kinnaird said in a statement. “The Senators have urged the Fifth Circuit to vindicate those principles and preserve the powers of agency heads to give structured guidance to their subordinates in exercising enforcement discretion.”
Although The Obama Fundamental Change has been implemented we still have a government with three branches:
King Obama
The Liberal Media
The King’s Judicial Stooges
Doesn’t matter. Baraq already said he intends to disobey any court orders.
According to presumptive Senate minority leader (hopefully not majority leader) Chuck Schumer, the three branches are: The president, the House and the Senate.
W. Eugene Davis : Reagan
Carolyn King : Jimmy Carter
Priscilla Owen: George W Bush
How does that work?
Do these "children" have pockets full of gold bullion?"
Or are the un-named states counting on the federal government printing more billions of funny money to immediately set these illegals up with government income like the millions of other moochers Obama has added to the government dole?
So you have to get your head blown off before you can sue because your head was blown off. Got it.
WHO IN THE HELL HAS ‘STANDING’ TO DO ANYTHING TO THIS COMMIE MUSLIM PIECE OF CRAP INN THE WHITE HOUSE?
It would just be a response to the War that Mexico is currently conducting against us.
What's unique this time around is that the US government is on their side.
who has stutus to sue?
No one. The courts are bowing to their master who feeds them. Going Along to Get Along means you keep eating, otherwise Bad Things happen like what happened to Reid.
Hanen obviously has more guts, but most likely Strange Things will begin happening to him and his family.
Remember, these are Chi-Town gang bangers, reading Vlad Putin's little Red Book of government by targeted assassination.
“common sense guidance” - No, it’s subversion of the law.
Hanan gave the DOJ 48 hours on March 19 to file some sort of a motion as a result of his learning that he had been lied to. Did anything become of that? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?
