SCOTUS Kills Obamnesty…5 Million Illegals Denied Work Permits and Federal Services

S court

The Supreme Court announced it’s decision on Obamnesty and they have driven a stake through it’s heart even though the vote was 4-4.  Justice Kennedy provided the tying vote, which allows Judge Hanen’s decision and subsequent appeal to the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals decision that Obama does not have the power to  award benefits to illegal aliens.  he can ignore federal law and not deport them, but he can’t make them legal.  The decision can be revisited later but not in time for Obama to do it.

Voting for Obamanesty was the usual suspects Justices Ginsberg, Breyer, Sotomayor, and Kagan, while Chief Justice Roberts and Justices Kennedy, Thomas, and Alito voted according to the constitution.  Texas and 25 other states brought the suit against the Obama caliphate and won.

From The Daily Caller:

After the order, 26 states, led by Texas, and the House of Representatives challenged the edict, arguing that the president lacks the statutory and constitutional authority to issue such an order. U.S. District Court Judge Andrew Hanen issued an injunction suspending the program pending its review. The government challenged the injunction, but the Fifth Circuit upheld Hanen’s order.

The 4-4 ruling from the Supreme Court upheld the injunction. Hanen will now decide whether (or how) to move forward with a trial judging the merits of the case. He has not scheduled hearings for the case until August, at which time the Court will discuss ethics charges brought against Department of Justice lawyers in the case, and a court order release, under seal, details of benefits provided to over 100,000 illegal immigrants under the program
