It's now official. The Supreme Court let stand today the ruling that president Obama's attempts to rewrite the immigration law under the guise of "Executive Action" was unconstitutional and therefore invalid. It is a major victory for the rule of law. The president does not have the power to change the law; only Congress can do that. Obama's attempt to act as a dictator and announce new laws has been shot down.
This result is extremely important for two reasons:
1. First, Hillary Clinton has already announced that she supported Obama's action on immigration and that she would make it broader if elected president. That tells you that Clinton has no regard for the Constitution. She's prepared to take illegal and unconstitutional actions. It will be interesting to see if she backtracks now that the Supreme Court decision is in. She ought to rescind her position on immigration. My guess, however, is that she will not change anything.
2. Second, although the lower court enjoined the federal government from proceeding with Obama's plan, we recently learned that the feds went ahead anyway. The judge was so incensed at what Obama and the Obamacrats had done that he lowered the boom on the government lawyers. They, after all, were the people who had lied to the court by falsely telling the judge that Obama's edict was not being followed. There are something like 100,000 illegal aliens who got work permits to which they were not entitled. Those permits need to be rescinded. Today! My guess here too is that nothing will change. Obama will just thumb his nose to the Supreme Court.
