President Obama scoffed at the “individual district court judge” who blocked his deportation amnesty, insisting Monday that he still believes his policy is legal despite repeated legal setbacks and vowing to push ahead where he can on aiding illegal immigrants.
But Mr. Obama said he’ll abide by Judge Andrew S. Hanen’s injunction — which has since been tentatively upheld by a federal appeals court — because that’s the way the system works.
“Even if it’s an individual district court judge who is making this determination, we’ve got to go through the process to challenge it. And until we get clarity there, I don’t want to bring people in, have them apply and jump through a lot of hoops only to have it deferred and delayed further,” the president said during a press conference at the conclusion of the G-7 summit.
Judge Hanen halted Mr. Obama’s amnesty on Feb. 16, ruling that the president’s policy to grant three-year work permits and legal documents to as many as 5 million illegal immigrants was big enough that it should have gone through public notice and comment under the terms of federal law.
The administration appealed Judge Hanen’s injunction and asked for an immediate stay, but the appeals court rejected that request and Mr. Obama decided not to go to the Supreme Court for a stay — a move that has drawn fire from immigrant-rights advocates who say he’s not being aggressive enough in defending his policy.

And he WILL defy the order by actions if not by words.
The list, Ping

Hanen, his family and his friends need to watch their backs. Thou shalt not oppose The Won.
I would love to see the judge send out a pack of marshals and bring in the iwon for contempt of court.
Things like this happen when we fail to uphold the Constitution and allow an usurper into office.

Why shouldn’t he believe he is above the law when all of our political and judicial leaders won’t tell him he is not.
But the history at the link shows that Mussolini no more made the trains run on time than Obama made health care better and cheaper. They both just used their purported success to trample on individual freedom.
Ever notice that every time Obama leaves the United States, he wastes no time in bad mouthing our country.
Wow..... Apparently he does not think much of individual district judges.
And even I know—don’t diss the Judge.
Do you remember when presidents has the good grace and respect for our Constitution and country not to comment on pending litigation?
That was before Clinton, of course.
Obama’s kristallnacht is not far off....wait for it.Summer of 2016.
