Blog Update: An appeals court, this week, has upheld a Federal District Court's decision (in February) to put this program on hold. The Obama Administration has the option to take this case to the Supreme Court, as it seeks to continue the amnesty program while final litigation is being worked out. Most experts do not believe the High Court will hear the case. If that is the immediate future for this amnesty program, it is not likely that Obama's run-around Congress will be decided before the end of his time in office.
Understand that the District Court's decision, in February, came with a 127 page legal statement, and was confirmed in a second hearing, following the revelation that the Administration lied to the District Court in its promise to not continue implementation while the courts heard the final arguments for this executive order. Turns out that Obama did not respect the courts enough to keep his word, and his executive order is under fire for that reason.
