Not to let Texas and Nebraska totally off the hook, but man, that is one august set of deplorables.

The phrase “no standing” is about to become a drinking game.

States have no say in immigration programs. None. Zero.

Racists demand their wishes be honored. No need to make it sound any nicer, not in the era of Trump.

If they want to stand for it proudly, I’m more than happy to toss it right back at them, I rather hope the Republicans choke on it for the next several generations.

So, they are suing the federal government to get an injunction from a federal court to stop it from doing what 3 federal courts have ordered it to keep doing.

Who put the acid in my tea?

Punks. An attorney general ought to understand the concept of simple justice and decency.

What’s the Take Care Clause? I don’t remember that from my Con Law class.

I could do without any acid for the duration. But I think while Two Scoops is in office, medicinal opium should be the law of the land.

Just looked at the complaint and Paragraph 12 reads as follows:

If ever there were a violation of the President’s duty to “take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed,” U.S. Const. art. II, § 3, this is it. The Executive unilaterally conferred lawful presence and work authorization on otherwise unlawfully present aliens, and then the Executive used that lawful-presence “dispensation” to unilaterally confer United States citizenship.
Arizona v. United States, 567 U.S. 387, 435 (2012)

Yes, I agree that the President violated his duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed. But it wasn’t by President Obama in 2012. Its by the current POS in the Oval Office who is violating that duty every damn day.

Not only do the states have no standing, they also have to prove an injury. Besides their fee fees, what inury have these people suffered? They can’t claim increased crime, because Dreamers are involved in criminal activity and are more likely to be employed or in school. After all that Roy Moore stuff, you’d think Bama would welcome law-abiding people. Texas? Didn’t Ken Paxton get INDICTED on fraud charges?
