Judicial Chess – Texas Judge Strikes Down DOJ Request To Lift Hold On President Obama Executive Action on Immigration Enforcement…

[RIghtwardHo]

Well. Cue the Cir Ct.

[ArtDodger]

Good for the judge but I wouldn’t be surprised if certain inquiries weren’t instituted into this judge’s private life and in a few weeks we might just see a sudden about-face.

Good, now all he has to do is issue an enforcement order of his ruling and good luck with that.

Brilliant move by this judge. On top of everything else (I recommend a full read of the linked article), he puts the DOJ into the position of having to argue that the words of the President don't apply - and he's the one who set the policy and is demanding its implementation.

Indeed. The CT site delivers excellent analysys and Hanen's ruling is also included.. Here a snip from the very end to whet the appetite for folks to wade through it all.

BOOM ! By using Obama’s own words Judge Hanen deconstructs the previous 5th DCA assertion of “no possibility for punitive harm” in the Mississippi ruling; and simultaneously puts an affirmative consideration into his own ruling – which proves the “possibility for punitive harm” in the Texas case before him which he is deciding. Brilliant Judicial Chess Move. By waiting to see the outcome of the Mississippi case (5th DCA) Judge Hanen has essentially removed one weapons which the DOJ attorneys could use against his own ruling when it enters the same appellate court.

Chess....Ha...Obama just snookered himself.

[Mike Darancette]

DHS secretly processed 100,000 applications that turned out to be subject to the stay. The judge should ask DHS how they intend to reverse these waivers. Of course when DHS whines about how hard an unfair that would be they are making the case for the staying the other millions of applications.

Thanks

All of this taking place while thousands of illegals are being flown in every day to a city near YOU! Our laws mean NOTHING.

[conservativejoy]

Hanging Tough. Go Judge Hanen!

[Ray76]

The order is linked in the article and is well worth reading.

Although I may not completely understand all of it, the part wherein the Judge uses Obama’s and Josh Earnest’s own words is absolutely clear.

Could be copied and pasted into Articles of Impeachment.

[MortMan]

Judge Hanen issued an emergency injunction stopping the expanded deferment authorization in outlined in President Obama’s November 2014 executive action.

What evidence have we seen that the injunction ACTUALLY stopped the administration? All I see are statements that there was an injunction, with the supposition that it had the intended effect.

[don-o]

Hanen had that exact question on March 19. I have not seen any answer forthcoming from the defendants. I think that is the reason the plaintiffs requested expedited discovery - to get the documentation of what the government had already done.

bump for those who missed this most excellent piece

[eartick]

This should be in Breaking News!!!!

We have found a new Supreme Court Justice.
