FEDERAL APPEALS COURT ‘IGNORES RULE OF LAW,’ DEFERS TO WHITE HOUSE
In a 2-1 ruling Monday, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals set a March 19th deadline for the Obama administration to explain whether or not it intends to use “prosecutorial discretion” to prevent the deportation of five suspected illegal immigrants. The appeals court also asked Obama how their decision whether or not to use “prosecutorial discretion” in this case would affect “any action to be taken by this court.”In a letter to Obama administration officials, including Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and Attorney General Eric Holder, on Thursday, Rep. Lamar Smith (R-Texas) and Sen. Charles Grassley (R-Utah) wrote: “In responding to the Ninth Circuit’s question, the administration will be required to reveal whether it intends to manipulate our legal system and waste taxpayer dollars, as part of its efforts to grant amnesty to illegal immigrants. Your response to the Ninth Circuit’s order must clearly and unequivocally indicate that the government will enforce the immigration laws, including promptly deporting all removable aliens who lose their cases in the federal courts of appeals.”
