King Obama Seeks Revenge as Unanimous Court Upholds Part of Immigration Law
Amid all the pronouncements of liberal victory against Arizona’s immigration law since the Supreme Court announced yesterday that it struck down three of four provisions of SB 1070, there’s an important point that some in the mainstream media are overlooking.
Obama lost. Big time.
The court, in 5-3 votes with Elena Kagan recusing herself, struck down three provisions having to do with state criminal penalties for immigration violations.
The fourth provision gives police the right to stop and demand to know the immigration status of people they reasonably suspect are in the country illegally.
It’s the fourth provision at the heart of the law that really had the administration worried, and that’s the provision that the court upheld unanimously.
Historically, a unanimous Supreme Court decision on anything seals the deal. Challengers need not bother. Adios. Hasta la vista, baby.
But the justices didn’t realize they were dealing with King Obama. Instead of accepting the decision of the court with good grace and committing himself to upholding the ruling as is the president’s duty, Obama immediately set about finding ways to get around it.
First came the promise that Attorney General Eric “Blind Eye” Holder was going to watch Arizona very closely for any signs of “racial profiling.” I give it two weeks before he sues Arizona again.
Then, just to hammer home the point that His Majesty was not pleased, almost immediately following the court’s decision came the announcement that Homeland Security was suspending existing agreements with Arizona law enforcement regarding immigration, meaning they would ignore most immigration calls from Arizona.
The part of SB 1070 that was upheld requires police to inform the feds if they catch someone in the country illegally, and Homeland Security will be allowed to determine whether they prosecute, deport or follow up on the case in any way.
I predict a lot of federal immigration agents based in Arizona will spend their workdays at the track or playing online video games.
Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer hailed the court’s decision to uphold the most important element of SB 1070 and indicated she is keenly aware that the Obama Administration and legal immigration opponents like La Raza, the ACLU and other leftists will be looking for the flimsiest excuses to block enforcement of the law.
Nonetheless, the state is going forward with its mandate. “I am confident our officers are prepared to carry out this law responsibly and lawfully. Nothing less is acceptable,” Brewer said.
The administration also was not spared criticism over its handling of immigration laws and Obama’s recent unilateral granting of amnesty by executive order. In a scathing dissenting opinion on the decision to overturn the state penalties, Justice Antonin Scalia said, “To say, as the Court does, that Arizona contradicts federal law by enforcing applications of the Immigration Act that the President declines to enforce boggles the mind.”
He added:
Arizona bears the brunt of the
country’s illegal immigration problem. Its citizens feel themselves
under siege by large numbers of illegal immigrants who invade their
property, strain their social services, and even place their lives in
jeopardy. Federal officials have been unable to remedy the problem,and
indeed have recently shown that they are unwilling to do so. Thousands
of Arizona’s estimated 400,000 illegal immigrants—including not just
children but men and women under 30—are now assured immunity from
enforcement, and will be able to compete openly with Arizona citizens
for employment.
As predicted when Obama passed amnesty for young illegal aliens,
because Congress has let that action stand unchallenged there is now no
court decision or law that Obama does not feel he is above.It’s already known that the administration has been making its post-Obamacare plans. If the court overturns the health care act in whole or part, expect King Obama to step around the court’s authority without a moment’s notice.
