A federal judge has thrown out a lawsuit brought by an Arizona sheriff that sought to halt President Barack Obama's plan to spare nearly 5 million people from deportation.
U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell, herself nominated to the federal bench by Obama in 2010, said Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio had legal standing to challenge the immigration program the president announced last month.
She suggested the topic is better left for Congress and the Obama administration to sort out.
The case 'raises important questions regarding the impact of illegal immigration on this nation, but the questions amount to generalized grievances which are not proper for the judiciary to address,' Howell wrote.
The White House held up the decision on Wednesday as confirmation that the president's executive actions are on the up and up.

Another Obama judge siding with her buddy instead of the constitution!
ReplyDeleteWith that move you we see that we are a doomed nation. Shame on that damn judge for allowing foreigners like Obama to stomp on our constitution.
ReplyDeleteNo one appointed by that fool should have been allowed to make this decision!
