http://www.nytimes.com/2015/02/18/us/politics/republicans-say-ruling-aids-bid-in-congress-to-block-obama-on-immigration.html?_r=0WASHINGTON — Just one day before undocumented immigrants were set to begin applying for work permits and legal protections, the Obama administration announced on Tuesday that it would delay carrying out President Obama’s executive actions on immigration, saying a federal judge’s last-minute ruling had tied the White House’s hands.
Jeh C. Johnson, the Homeland Security secretary, vowed to appeal the court ruling, which said that the president had not followed proper legal procedures in instituting his program. But Mr. Johnson said the department would comply with it by suspending plans to begin accepting applications from an expanded group of illegal immigrants on Wednesday.
What is this kabuki theater all about? The 5th circuit reverses this and then bammy can say they followed the law and then the senate can vote for a clean bill? that is what I think is going on.
