Semi-retired resident Obama admits DEFEAT in one arena but will soldier on in another.
Defeat: Obama Won’t Take Executive Amnesty Fight To The Supreme Court
by Charlie Spiering27 May 201565
The Obama administration revealed today that it will not take the fight over executive immigration amnesty to the Supreme Court, essentially admitting defeat in its fight to lift a court-ordered stay placed by a Texas judge.
Obama’s executive actions still have to be settled in court, but yesterday’s decision prevented the administration from moving forward in its efforts to sign up illegal immigrants for the amnesty programs.
“The department believes the best way to achieve this goal is to focus on the ongoing appeal on the merits of the preliminary injunction itself,” said Patrick Rodenbush, a spokesman for the Justice Department to the New York Times. “Although the department continues to disagree with the Fifth Circuit’s refusal to stay the district court’s preliminary injunction, the department has determined that it will not seek a stay from the Supreme Court.”
The arguments for the legal battle begin next month before the Fifth Circuit court, but the results of yesterday’s decision mean the final will likely be pushed into 2016.
