Discussion: New Front Opens In Ongoing Legal Battle Over Obama's Immigration Actions

A tie vote defers back to the appeals court’s decision but has no national precedent, which means courts in other circuits are not bound by it. Vidal’s lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court of Eastern New York, which lies in the Second Circuit.

Now that is a thing of beauty. I hope this man is successful not only for himself but for the millions of people that came here as children as immigrants. This horrid decision by the Texass judge and a split decision by a Second and Seventh Circuit Court decision could easily justify another case to reach the Supreme Court. The 5th Circuit Court that agreed with the Texas judge that overturned DACA for the entire country was an unfortunate overreach of authority, without consideration of the facts by a full compliment of judges on our Supreme Court. Ya hear that, McTurtle. You continue to fuck up what should be a functioning judiciary with your petty partisan bullshit. Meanwhile, people’s lives are being upended by your stubborn, arrogant, and irresponsible actions.

It’s now been 194 days since Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia died, and 157 days since President Obama nominated Merrick Garland to replace Scalia.

From Freep:

On July 19, Garland officially broke the record of Louis Brandeis, who endured a wait of 125 days between nomination and confirmation to the Court.

Fucking Obstructionist Republican Senatorial Idiots who continue to ignore the Constitution – Do the damn job you were elected to do…Your time is coming. Soon we’ll all be saying, “Your Republican majority no longer exists. So, take a fucking hike.”

Keep hammering away at these right-wing judicial hacks shoved into the courts by gerrymandering assholes.

Good! Lilberals win because they make better legal arguments. Conservatives win because they appoint worse judges.

Sounds like a winning argument to me. Wouldn’t a states rights person agree?

The SC tied so there’s no national standing or precedent in NY.
This dude’s/hombre’s original ruling should be reinstated along with at least 25 other states hombres y damas.
