Geee Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Brietbart: WASHINGTON (AP) — A tie vote by the Supreme Court is blocking President Barack Obama’s immigration plan that sought to shield millions living in the U.S. illegally from deportation. The justices’ one-sentence opinion on Thursday effectively kills the plan for the duration of Obama’s presidency. A tie vote sets no national precedent but leaves in place the ruling by the lower court. In this case, the federal appeals court in New Orleans said the Obama administration lacked the authority to shield up to 4 million immigrants from deportation and make them eligible for work permits without approval from Congress. Texas led 26 Republican-dominated states in challenging the program Obama announced in November 2014. Congressional Republicans also backed the states’ lawsuit. The Obama administration announced the programs – protections for parents of children who are in the country legally and an expansion of the program that benefits people who were brought to this country as children – in November 2014. Obama decided to move forward after Republicans won control of the Senate in the 2014 midterm elections, and the chances for an immigration overhaul, already remote, were further diminished.

Geee Posted June 23, 2016 Author Share Posted June 23, 2016 I don't remember ANY President being overruled by courts as many times as this one!!! There were many many things during the beginning of the fight against terrorism that GWB was tested in the courts on - but I don't even think he was overturned by the courts this many times.

clearvision Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 My understanding is they are still doing what is blocked though, or at least were for a significant time after they were told by the Judge not to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was what I have read also. I don't know what the repercussions for this are besides impeachment which takes is impossible and takes too long. No wonder the executive branch can overstep its bounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
