Texas Governor Goes After Obama Admin

Texas Governor Goes After Obama Admin. for Acting ‘Outside the Law’ in Defying Judge’s Immigration Order

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott blasted the Obama administration Friday after Justice Department attorneys admitted the administration violated a federal court order by granting about 2,000 extended work permits to illegal immigrants.

“After months of obfuscation and stall tactics by the Obama administration, the president’s lawyers, have been forced to admit that they acted outside the law by implementing president’s executive amnesty – even after a federal judge had ordered them to stop,” Abbott said in a statement.

Texas is leading a multi-state lawsuit to stop President Barack Obama’s executive actions from November to shield about five million illegal immigrants from deportation. In February, U.S. District Judge Andrew S. Hanen issued an injunction to halt much of the order.

But late Thursday, Justice Department attorneys admitted to Judge Hanen that the Department of Homeland Security had approved about 2,000 applications for three-year work permits.

“The government sincerely regrets these circumstances and is taking immediate steps to remedy these erroneous three-year terms,” the administration lawyers said.

However Abbott sees the admission as part of a pattern.
“Not only did President Obama’s executive action violate the U.S. Constitution; his lawyers’ actions show a blatant disregard for the rule of law that has become typical of this administration and directly violates one of the fundamental principles upon which our nation was founded,” Abbott continued.

Comments:

- Jail or prison sentences need to be applied to these people in order to make others think twice about blatantly breaking the law and to punish these law breakers.

- the same conduct may result in both civil and criminal contempt. United States v. United Mine Workers of America, 330 U.S. 258, 303 (1947); United States v. Powers, 629 F.2d 619, 627 (9th Cir.1980). The distinction between the two forms of contempt lies in the intended effect of the punishment imposed. United States v. Asay, 614 F.2d 655, 659 (9th Cir.1980). The purpose of civil contempt is coercive or compensatory, whereas the purpose of criminal contempt is punitive. United States v. Rylander, 714 F.2d 996, 1001 (9th Cir.1983), cert. denied, — U.S. —-, 104 S.Ct. 2398, 81 L.Ed.2d 355 (1984); Powers, 629 F.2d at 624. Criminal contempt is intended to vindicate the court’s authority in the face of contumacious and disrespectful acts. See Asay, 614 F.2d at 659. When a grand jury witness refuses to testify, civil contempt sanctions can be imposed to coerce compliance with the court’s order, and penalties for criminal contempt can be assessed to punish the witness’ disobedient conduct.

- The power of a court to punish a defendant for refusing to comply with its direct order cannot be disputed. See Rylander, 714 F.2d at 1001; Powers, 629 F.2d at 624. This authority has been codified in 18 U.S.C. Sec. 401(3)

- Weird how when any other Americans “act outside the law,” they go to prison. I don’t know what that lawless punk has to do before Americans will finally march on DC with weapons loaded to bring him and his criminal enterprise to justice.

- So hold Obama accountable like you would a regular citizen when they break the law, or defies a judges order. If you judges and politicians will not uphold the law, then we the people will be glad to.
Like Loretta Lynch, she is going to investigate the Baltimore PD for possible civil violations, but why is she not investigating Obama, Eric Holder, and especially Hillary Clinton? What we have here is reverse racism. Whites are being targeted by our own government as punishment for what happened before our time, and because we do not follow their leeching, thuggish, behavior.

- How about a contempt of court citation and some jail time. There doesn’t seem to be any recourse for the American people. This blatant disregard for the courts order should be an impeachable offense. But Congress is afraid to act, they might lose the next election. And the press covers for him and any Democrat that gets caught with their pants down. What a sad place we have evolved to. The Patriotic people are now the demonized one’s. Somehow we must change course. Only The Strong Survive.

- This blatant disregard for the courts order should be an impeachable offense.”
Not “should be” but “is.” It is a “misdemeanor” as the word is used in the Constitution.

- All we have to do is look back when Stalin said, “he who controls the media also controls the people.” And to think that this president has said so many times with such arrogance that he’s got a pen and a phone and doesn’t need congress is a slap in the faces of Americans.

- We are living in a lawless and criminal society run by psychopaths. This is no big deal to Obama or his minions they think who cares that a judge orders them to stop the immigration policy. He is the king. People wonder why citizens and the governor are concerned over the Jade Helm military exercises. Remember Obama has purged all the military leaders who question him.  All the while the casturated republicans sit around and lick their wounds as if they are powerless. I guess they are too worried about how to pass the trans-pacific trade pact that would give foreign and US corporations the ability to challenge state and local laws that impede on their ability to make a profit through international courts. Too hell with the environment, too hell with public health and safety, too hell with state rights, to hell with the US constitution… Profit is all that matters. 
 

- Just wait until a Chinese run hog CAFO (concentrated animal farm) with 10,000 pigs moves in next to your town. Just wait until Cargill demands that they have a right to have all the cheap immigrant labor they want irregardless of immigration laws.

- This judge can issue all the contempt charges or rulings he wants. Illegal immigration and illegal work permits will continue to be issued. My guess is he will soon end up dying of sudden heart attack or some other unexplained accident. The lawlessness of this government is beyond comprehension.

- Oh they lied and they violated a federal judges order? Well, of course they did. Just like Obama say he once was an instructor of the U.S. Constitution and said these words with his hand on the Bible: “I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.” He then proceeded to blatantly violate the Constitution so much that even the extreme leftist jurists on the SCOTUS joined in unanimously slapping him down 9 times and majoritively another 4 times, to make Obama the most unconsitutional POTUS in U.S history!

- The judge who issues the injunction against Obama’s scam… okay, his immigration scam, scam alone was to broad. There are a great many things this judge could do. Issue an injunction removing these attorneys from practice prior to suggestion to have them disbarred for violating his order. Fine Obama personally, freeze all of Obama’s personal assets and fine him a million dollars per violation and a half a million a day, until he complies. Issue an incitement to take effect the day he is out of office. A few months ago, Obama said that DHS and ICE would follow his orders, or there would be consequences. Extend his injunction to every federal and state employee. They must not obey an illegal order or they may be found in personal contempt. i.e. make them more afraid of the federal court, than they are of Obama. This also should include the attorney general and her staff.
 

- Obama can pardon anyone he wants, but he cannot pardon himself. If he continues anyway. Make it felony contempt and suggest, when he’s out of office, he may not need to look for a home for a few years.

- This legal action was from the states, and they have, not only the right to bring this, they should have an expectation the court orders will be complied with.
