HARRY REID TARGETS TRUMP, CARSON AFTER COURT BLOCKS AMNESTY

    Senate Democratic Leader Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) is lashing out at Republicans, after an appeals court upheld an injunction blocking President Obama’s executive amnesty programs from taking effect.

    In a Twitter rant, Reid argued Tuesday morning that the ruling was politically motivated and, further, that Republican presidential candidates Donald Trump and Ben Carson are leading the GOP down the wrong path.

    “The Fifth Circuit’s decision yesterday was a political move that ignores past precedents on executive action on immigration,” Reid began.

    Monday evening the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a lower court’s injunction blocking the Obama administration from implementing programs to grant amnesty and work permits to millions of illegal immigrants.

    “Yesterday’s decision affects millions of families who now could be torn apart. As Judge [Carolyn] King stated in dissent, ‘a mistake has been made,’” he continued.

    Reid continued, attacking the GOP for following Trump and Carson on immigration.

    “The Republican Party has neglected the lessons of the 2012 elections and have plunged over a cliff following the lead of Trump and Carson,” he said.

    He concluded by asserting that the administration’s appeal to the Supreme Court will be successful.

    “I expect the Administration will swiftly appeal this decision to the Supreme Court, and I believe the Court will find the actions lawful,” he tweeted.

    The Justice Department Tuesday announced that it would be taking an appeal to the Supreme Court.

I'm betting there's a very good chance the Supremes don't even take the case.  Two courts upheld the injunction.

Judicial activism aside, there is literally no reason for SCOTUS to hear this case.  If they do, Obama already has 4 votes to overturn, though.

At this stage of his presidency; if Obama wasn't confident he could win this to leave as part of his legacy he would let it rest.  Keep in mind that the Supreme Court has ruled in his favor on Obamacare and  same sex marriage.  If this issue goes to the Supreme Court I expect that they will once again rule in Obama's favor and if there is a ruling before the 2016 elections in Obama's favor this will be an enormous victory for the DEMS.  It will hurt the Republican candidates who are anti-amnesty; mainly Trump and Cruz - even more reason why I see the SCOTUS hearing the case.

If -another- federal appellate court rules in favor of Obama, the Supreme Court will have no choice -but- to hear the case.

Has it been adjudicated in the Ninth Circuit yet?
