CTH- Yesterday Texas and six other states filed a lawsuit against the the Trump administration over the Presidents’ failure to terminate DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals); an Obama-era program created through ‘executive action’ that allowed work permits and legal status for hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens brought to the U.S. as children.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed the lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Brownsville on Tuesday; asking the court to rule on whether President Obama’s 2012 decision to grant deportation protections and two-year work authorizations to young undocumented immigrants — without congressional approval — was lawful.
A similar program in 2014 known as DAPA (Deferred Action for Parents of Americans) was ruled unconstitutional in 2016. However, the first executive action, ‘the DACA policy’, has never been challenged in court.
Today, a judge was assigned by random draw for the DACA case, and universal karma has come full circle with the outcome. Federal Judge Andrew Hanen was drawn as the presiding judge for the DACA challenge.
It cannot be overstated how significantly damaging that judicial draw is to the activist groups who are trying to support the Obama Executive Action. Judge Andrew Hanen was the original judge on the 2015 DAPA challenge. keep reading.
If Hanan rules against it and the Trump administration doesn’t appeal… then it’s dead! Woo hoo…. a man can dream.
Theoretically, it shouldn’t matter which judge was chosen.
The outcome should be the same no matter which judge was ruling.
The fact that it matters so much is a black eye for the judicial system.
God moves in mysterious ways.
They’ll find another way to ignore the will of the people. We count as less than nothing to them, just an obstacle to be worked around.

“The fact that it matters so much is a black eye for the judicial system.”
Surely, you jest?
Our “judiciary” has been a smoldering bed of corruption since John Jay.
Well I asked my friend: “Where is that black smoke comin’ from?”
He just coughed and changed the subject and said: “I think it might snow some.”
We all avert our eyes and pretend that it isn’t so.
But we know – KNOW – that “justice” is for sale – lawyers are maggots – and judges are biased (to put it mildly).
Please explain how Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor are (remotely) qualified?
And so it goes. We pretend that the filth and corruption doesn’t really matter – that it doesn’t affect our lives – but when the very air we breath is poisoned; when the very water in which we swim (metaphorically) is fetid – our milieu becomes something pernicious – our nation, as we perceive it, ceases to exist.
We gaze around ourselves with slack jaws, and ask: “Wha happent?
I went to sleep on Earth and woke up on Bizarro World!”
