Mission Statement: This blog reviews the news of the day in light of 242 years of American history. "Nationalism," a modern day pejorative, has been our country's politic throughout history, until 2008. Obama changed that narrative. Trump is seeking a return to our historical roots. Midknight Review supports this return to normality.
Hopes are high that the courts will side with those who oppose Obama's executive excesses and his own first opinion.
“I think we will win [the 26 state lawsuit to stop Obama's illegal immigration by executive memo ~ editor] all the way for one simple reason, and that is, the man you just had on the screen, Barack Obama, is our star witness. 22 times Barack Obama said he did not have the authority to implement this type of measure. And then the day after he signed this into law, he said, quote, ‘I just changed the law.’
"The exact wording was “I just took an action to change the law,” per Abbott . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . "those words alone show that he violated the Constitution, and violated federal law” Abbott stated.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . This is [is not prosecutorial discretion] but an abandonment of the law by the Obama administration, and then re-writing and making it up. That violates the Constitution.”
Obama's new ICE appointment is an open-borders, sanctuary cities kind of guy. Incredible.
Widow of Houston Officer Killed by Illegal Immigrant 'Shocked' at ICE Appointment

The widow of a Houston police officer killed by an illegal immigrant was "shocked" to learn that the city's former police chief has landed a top immigration job with the Obama administration, her lawyer told FoxNews.com on Friday.
That's because Joslyn Johnson, whose husband, Rodney Johnson, was killed in 2006, is suing former Houston Police Chief Harold Hurtt for failing to enforce federal immigration laws. She claims her husband would be alive today if the city had bothered to check up on the gunman's immigration status.
Now that Hurtt is taking a job to oversee partnerships between federal and local officials with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Johnson -- and other critics -- say they're concerned the official who resisted immigration enforcement in Houston will now be in charge of promoting it.
"She was shocked at the irony," Johnson's attorney, Ben Dominguez, said.
As a police chief, Hurtt was a supporter of "sanctuary city" policies, by which illegal immigrants who don't commit crimes can live without fear of exposure or detainment because police don't check for immigration papers. During his tenure as Houston police chief, he criticized ICE's key program that draws on local law enforcement's support. He said in 2008 that local police "don't want to be immigration officers." He described that as a burden on the force. READ MORE >>>>>Amnesty is the name of this game.
