So it seems that the Supreme Court will, in fact,
come to have the final say regarding the rather questionable legality of Barry
“Almighty’s” executive amnesty over-reach.
The Court announced just this past Tuesday that it will, by early
summer, rule on whether or not Barry abused his authority in taking his
executive actions on immigration. And I
think that we can all reasonably assume, after taking into account the rather
leftist make up of the court, how that decision is likely to turn out.
As you may know, Barry’s actions, which are aimed at
millions of undocumented parents of U.S. citizens and for children who were
raised in the United States, have been on hold since they were first announced
a year ago. After Barry announced the Deferred Action for Parents of Americans
and Lawful Permanent Residents (DAPA) and the expanding of the Deferred Action
for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), federal courts blocked their implementation
because of challenges from 25 states and led by Texas.
And so, if the court does rule in favor of Barry's actions, which is how this is likely
to play out, some five million illegal immigrants will be shielded from
deportation as they apply for worker eligibility and other benefits. The result
of the ruling will also likely set the standard for what a future president can
do without Congressional approval.
Furthermore, if Barry's actions
are approved, they will be implemented during his final months in office,
securing the legacy he has hoped for since 2008.
Barry’s 2014 effort to grant millions of illegal
immigrants de facto legal status and work permits hangs in the balance.
According to various reports, the case will be argued during the first half of
this year with an expected ruling in June, before the 2016 presidential
election. The court will decide the
final outcome in Texas and 25 states’ lawsuit seeking to block the
administration’s executive amnesty programs. So far the states have been
successful at the district and appeals court levels.
The states and Republicans have argued that Barry’s
executive amnesty is an unconstitutional overreach of executive authority. Yet Barry continues to maintain that he was
within his right to shield millions from deportation and grant them work
permits. Of course this comes after the
dozen, or so, times that he himself said that he did not have the authority to
do what he went ahead and did. Not that
any of that will likely matter to any of these austere practitioners of leftist
jurisprudence.
The government appealed to the high court shortly
after the 5th Circuit ruled in favor of upholding the amnesty block. Barry’s gang there at the Justice Department
argued in its petition to the Supreme Court in November that, “If left
undisturbed, that ruling [of the appeals court] will allow States to frustrate
the federal government’s enforcement of the Nation’s immigration laws.” Translation:
It would actually allow the states to enforce federal immigration law
whereas Barry chooses not to.
The states called for the court to let the ruling
stand or rule in their favor. Texas
Attorney General Ken Paxton said when the states filed their petition,
“President Obama’s executive action on immigration represents an unprecedented
attempt to expand the power of the executive branch.” And he added, “The president alone does not
have the authority to grant millions of illegal immigrants a host of benefits –
like Social Security and Medicare – which should be reserved for lawful
citizens.”
This will likely prove to be is yet another example
of just how important it is that we elect a conservative president in this next
election. Can you possibly imagine the
caliber of justices that Hitlery or Bernie would appoint to the court? And the next president will likely have the
opportunity to appoint as many as four justices. And when the Democrats regain control of the
Senate this coming election, and with Chuckie Schumer running the show,
confirmation of leftist justices will be little more than a formality.
