The Supreme Court handed President Obama a significant legal defeat Thursday, refusing to revive his stalled plan to shield millions of undocumented immigrants from deportation and give them the right to work legally in the United States.

In response, Obama sharply criticized congressional Republicans for refusing to consider his nominee to the Supreme Court, and he vowed that existing programs implemented under his executive authority to prioritize deportations would continue.

Addressing reporters in the White House briefing room, Obama said the current deadlock in the Supreme Court, where his nominee would have broken a tie, not only sets the administration back but “takes us further from the country that we aspire to be.”

The court’s liberals and conservatives apparently deadlocked, which leaves in place a lower court’s decision that the president exceeded his powers in issuing the directive.

The nondecision on the president’s deportation plan was the most serious consequence of the Supreme Court’s short-handed status. The delay in announcing the tie — the case was argued months ago — indicates the court tried to find a compromise that could draw five votes.

Good result.

The lower court's judge's ruling was complete and brilliant.

I wonder if the lawyers at the DOJ will actually take the ethics classes the judge directed. I doubt it as who ever heard of liberal lawyers having ethics?

Obama pretty much said he will ignore it. All hail King Prissy

As opposed to conservative lawyers that represent companies like big tobacco?

Why does it always gotta be liberal vs conservative with some of you peeps, don't you see they both got you by the shorty's? The liberal vs. conservative game is what they want you to play so you don't see the shenanigans they pull.

there might be some similarities, but visitation is usually an option in divorce. not so with deportation. but hey, there's always skype. that's the same right?

You are right, I should have left off the liberal tag when describing the lawyers in relation to ethics. Also, not sure the Big Tobacco lawyers were conservative.

Normally corporate lawyers are of a conservative, big business nature. But they are all out for hire to whoever wants to pay them. Lawyers of all types aren't too well known for their upstanding morals and values. Except for our own Maven of course, she's bomb diggity!

[TBoneTX 46,271]

99% of all lawyers give the rest a bad name.

[ExPatty 502]

Good. The powers that be are completely disinterested in enforcing existing immigration law. If they keep ignoring the law they will be voted out.
