It has no real meaning, other than its resemblance to the annoyance of a buzzing fly:
WASHINGTON — A federal judge in Pennsylvania ruled on Tuesday that President Barack Obama’s administrative actions on immigration, which could grant deportation relief to up to 5 million people, go beyond “beyond prosecutorial discretion” and are therefore unconstitutional.
The ruling by U.S. District Court Judge Arthur Schwab, a George W. Bush appointee, was the first to address the constitutionality of Obama’s executive actions. Schwab’s decision, however, does not appear to carry any real-world consequences. The judge, who has a highly unusual history of being removed from cases due to temperament and charges of bias, was not asked to rule on the issue and instead inserted his opinion into a criminal case.
Schwab was removed from a case in 2008 to bring about what a higher court called “a reduced level of rancor,” a rare if not unprecedented move that a law professor told the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review at the time was “considered to be a disciplinary action.” He was pulled from a case again in 2012. Schwab recused himself from 17 ongoing cases in 2011 because of bias allegations. He was the first federal judge to advance the scope of religious protections created by the conservative Supreme Court justices in the recent Hobby Lobby decision.
Sure Judge Schwab is a right wing loony tune, but Republican Obama is also pretty far to the right and a loony tune himself. Republican Obama has overstepped his constitutional authority many, many times. A good example of that is his use of drones.
If illegals couldn’t find work then they wouldn’t cross the border or they wouldn’t stay once they’re here. How many employers has the Holder/Obama Justice Department prosecuted for hiring undocumented workers? Any?
The Democrats are using the illegal immigrant problem as a political wedge issue. For that they should be condemned. So should the Republican’s for playing their racist games.
“It is hereby ordered the House shall forthwith draw Articles of Impeachment and forward the matter to the Senate for entry of a Judgment of conviction, whereupon the Honorable John Boehner shall succeed to the Presidency because the incumbent Vice President was a co-conspirator.”
