Supreme Court blocks Obama immigration plan | Fox News
The Supreme Court on Thursday blocked President Obama’s immigration executive actions, in a tie decision that delivers a win to states challenging his plan to give a deportation reprieve to millions of illegal immigrants.
The justices' one-sentence opinion on Thursday effectively kills the plan for the duration of Obama's presidency.
The 4-4 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.
The SCOTUS left in please a lower court ruling that stated Obama overstepped his authority again with his EO on immigration.
Oh woopy…….now the Donald if elected can deport kids to countries they have never lived or know about………
…….. And possibly cannot speak the language……
This should make many unchristian and heartless folks feel good about themselves…….

Since it was an executive order and not a law passed by congress, the ruling has no bearing on what Trump could or could not do if elected.Oh woopy…….now the Donald if elected can deport kids to countries they have never lived or know about………

so you think the president should have the ability to ignore the constitution and the laws of the land?
umm yea that is exactly why the constitution exists to stop that from happening.
pretty scary that 4 justices decided the President can write his own laws without Congress being involved....very scary indeed.

The left has attacked the 2nd Amendment shamefully with every shooting by not addressing the real issue . They attack the 1st Amendment by disrupting Trump rallies and assaulting supporters . The left attacked the 14th Amendment with the ruling RACE can be used to discriminate in college admissions . And ALL 4 liberals voted in Obama's favor on deporting ILLEGALS ! :roll:
I expect that kind of thing from Justices Kagan and Sotomayor, who are statists. If Justices Ginsburg and Breyer are the other two who signed onto that, it is disappointing. I thought a little better of them.
Any executive - be it the President, a Governor, mayor has significant latitude in setting LE priorities if for no other reason than that they don't have unlimited money and manpower. I think you would find that trying to vigorously enforce every single law on the books would bankrupt the country.
Protesting is not against the First Amendment. Are you actually that thick, or are you just upset that they won't worship your Messiah?
I don't think highly of any of the 4...I think they are all very intelligent, but their decisions are mostly based on what the Democratic party wants, rather than what the Constitution says is permissible.

yet we are still a nation of laws and it is the job of the president to faithfully execute those laws no matter if he agrees with them or not.
if he doesn't agree with them then he can attempt to push congress to change the law. he cannot change the law by EO fiat.
we are not a monarchy or a dictatorship.
Makes one wonder what this Constitutional Scholar and Professor(Obama) taught at law school since obviously he has no understanding of the Constitution and yet his supporters still support him. Makes me wonder if civics is even being taught any more and why there are so many leftwingers in this country today?
Nope the President can't change laws and he can't enact them - which is really what Obama was doing the with EO's in question. But the President would be completely within his rights to say "because of terrorism enforcing immigration laws against the middle east is much more important than enforcing immigration laws against mexicans and so that's where we're going to spend out ICE money this year."
I find it interesting when the Court cannot decide. It really does show that political beliefs play a role in the Court's rulings. One would hope the Court would look at the law and decide if it is a good law or not. To our detriment that is not the case.
it is not suprising that each side of the political spectrum either wants the vacant seat filled on their terms. That is some one it filled before the election , some do not.

Never ever said or suggested that........Please do not try to put your words in my mouth
