President Obama’s lawyers admitted to a federal judge late Thursday that they had broken the court’s injunction halting the administration’s new deportation amnesty, issuing thousands of work permits even after Judge Andrew S. Hanen had ordered the program stopped.
The stunning admission, filed just before midnight in Texas, where the case is being heard, is the latest misstep for the administration’s lawyers, who are facing possible sanctions by Judge Hanen for their continued problems in arguing the case.
The Justice Department lawyers said Homeland Security, which is the defendant in the case, told them Wednesday that an immigration agency had approved about 2,000 applications for three-year work permits, which was part of Mr. Obama’s new amnesty, even after Judge Hanen issued his Feb. 16 injunction halting the entire program.

We are about to find out if the rule of law is dead or not. If it is, then by the Federal Government's own actions, anarchy has ensued.

Why no rooftop voting, if the law is irrelevant now? :)
ReplyDeleteThe law is still relevant.....as a tool of oppression.
DeleteBut the law is only applied to those they intend to
control. It IS irrelevant in regards to their conduct.

Nothing new here, just a little more confident is all. You can tell how confident a government is in its control of the population by how hard they try to hide their corruption. They are not even trying any more.
