Federal district court Judge Arthur Schwab ruled Tuesday that parts of Obama’s executive amnesty order are unconstitutional.
Judge Schwab’s opinion said the Obama’s executive action goes “beyond prosecutorial discretion” and is more like legislating.“President Obama’s unilateral legislative action violates the separation of powers provided for in the United States Constitution as well as the Take Care Clause, and therefore, is unconstitutional,” Schwab wrote in his opinion, according to the Washington Post.
Schwab’s ruling against Obama’s executive amnesty is just the first.
There are still three legal challenges currently filed against Obama’s executive actions on immigration. Additionally, as Daily Surge reported last week, there are now to 24 states suing the Obama administration over this very same issue.
According to the latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey, 53 percent oppose Obama’s plan to shield as many as five million illegal immigrants from deportation and authorize the extension of legal work permits. Just 34 percent favor Obama’s amnesty plan.
