Appeals court rules against Obama immigration plan
NEW ORLEANS – President Obama's plan to protect from deportation an estimated 5 million people living in the United States illegally has suffered another setback in court.
In a 2-1 decision, the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans upheld a Texas-based judge's injunction blocking the Obama administration's immigration initiative.
Republicans had criticized the plan as an illegal executive overreach when Obama announced it last November. Twenty-six states challenged the plan in court.
The administration argued that the executive branch was within its rights in deciding to defer deportation of selected groups of immigrants.
Part of the initiative included expansion of a program called Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, protecting young immigrants from deportation if they were brought to the U.S. illegally as children.

Has Obama announced yet that he doesn't care what the court says, he's going to do it anyway?
sinkspur:
So, if Obama decides to appeal to the en banc 5th Circuit (all the justices) that's another six months then, when he loses there, to the Supremes, which will be beyond his presidency. And no guarantee, with three losses, that the Supremes take it.
He'll pitch a fit, but this EO is dead in the water.

He did back in 2009.

Of course, how does anybody force Obama to deport illegals? He can just sit back and do nothing.
I wish the bastard would do that on every other issue.
