Appeals court rules against Obama immigration executive order
The law is such an inconvenient thing: A federal appeals court has sustained a lower court injunction halting the Obama administration’s effort to make up law and issue amnesty to illegal immigrants.
Three significant take-aways from this:
- 1. The case will now proceed quickly to the Supreme Court.
- 2. The courts appear to be united against Obama’s illegal action, a fact that to me is a relief considering the number of Democratically-appointed judges in recent years who have allowed their partisan leanings to influence their decisions.
- 3. This will strengthen the hand of the lower court judge whose injunction was defied by the Obama administration, making it easier for him to impose serious contempt charges against Obama officials and Department of Justice lawyers.
Overall, this and other recent court rulings against the Obama administration give me hope that we are still a nation of laws, not men, and that we will weather this bad period and come out of it intact as a free nation.
Readers!
Every February I run a fund-raising drive during my birthday month. This year I celebrate my 72nd birthday, and hope and plan to continue writing and posting on Behind the Black for as long as I am able.
I hope my readers will support this effort. As I did in my November fund-raising drive, I am offering autographed copies of my books for large donations. Donate $250 and you can have a choice of the hardback of either Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8 or Conscious Choice: The origins of slavery in America and why it matters today and for our future in outer space. Donate $200 and you can get an autographed paperback copy of either. IMPORTANT! If you donate enough to get a book, please email me separately to tell me which book you want and the address to mail it to.
Please consider supporting my work here at Behind the Black. My analysis of space, politics, and culture, taken from the perspective of an historian, is almost always on the money and ahead of the game. For example, in 2020 I correctly predicted that the COVID panic was unnecessary, that the virus was apparently simply a variation of the flu, that masks were not simply pointless but if worn incorrectly were a health threat, that the lockdowns were a disaster and did nothing to stop the spread of COVID. Every one of those 2020 conclusions has turned out right.
Your help allows me to do this kind of intelligent analysis. I take no advertising or sponsors, so my reporting isn't influenced by donations by established space or drug companies. Instead, I rely entirely on donations and subscriptions from my readers, which gives me the freedom to write what I think, unencumbered by outside influences.
You can support me either by giving a one-time contribution or a regular subscription. There are four ways of doing so:
1. Zelle: This is the only internet method that charges no fees. All you have to do is use the Zelle link at your internet bank and give my name and email address (zimmerman at nasw dot org). What you donate is what I get.
2. Patreon: Go to my website there and pick one of five monthly subscription amounts, or by making a one-time donation.
3. A Paypal Donation or subscription:
4. Donate by check, payable to Robert Zimmerman and mailed to

So…
Will the disappointing Ron Johnson of Wisconsin introduce a bill (with the blessings of McConnell and McCain) to rescue Obamnesty because of a “perceived” backlash against republicans?
My question relates to the third judge who apparently agrees that Obama or any president has the ability to create law as he or she pleases? Is his or her no vote based in law or politics? I would be interested in understanding that better, because this is a no brainer to me.
You know what I like about Obama trying this amnesty thing?
All of the illegals who wanted to be amnestied had to register and provide an address.
Ding Dong. INS.
Now all we have to do is provide immigration courts on the other side of the boarder.
This whole move was just to fill the courts. They can delay deportation for years as long as they keep working with the court system. Thus keeping them on this side of the boarder the whole time.
Put the courts on their side of the boarder and ship them all back so they could make their court days inside Mexico instead of all over the US.
The immigration system is not broke on our side of the boarder. Its broke on the other side of the boarder.
We require positive ID and background checks on everyone. Mexico does not provide this to its citizens for free or timely. They want paid in cash. In fact they have gone so far as to request that America provide the payments since we are the ones demanding the service.
The liberals do NOT want to mention this because it will point our its not our problem but theirs.
And the claim that the coyotes are charging thousands of dollars to smuggle someone over the boarder is bull. It the emigrant has thousands he could afford the cash demand by the Mexican officials and a lawyer to help facilitate a legal process.
Now the coyotes might be charging thousands for a clean false ID but that’s a different thing. With a clean ID the person could just walk into the country at the boarder crossings.
