BREAKING: The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals Rules 2-1 to uphold Judge Hanen Injunction (full ruling pdf below)

In a 2-1 ruling of the Fifth CCA (Judge King has lengthy Dissent) the injunction against President Obama’s Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents program (“DAPA”) has been upheld.

The DAPA is commonly referred to as Obama’s Executive Amnesty – Obama Loses.

Twenty Six states filed suit to block the November ’14 Executive Order. A Texas Judge, Andrew Hanen, issued an injunction blocking implementation.  Obama appealed the injunction and lost; then appealed again based on standing – and just lost again.  Here’s the ruling:

However, the release of the 5th Circuit decision today may allow the Supreme Court time to take up the dispute in Obama’s term, if a third appeal is attempted.  A favorable Supreme Court ruling could then override the injunction and permit Obama to implement the executive actions next summer.

The problem for the White House is the substantive legal issues within the original Hanen ruling have not been argued in Hanen’s court or the/any appellate court.  They have only argued the ability of Hanen to block them (ie “standing), not the merits of the underlying case.

Therefore the route to SCOTUS would only be on the legal issues of Hanen’s injunction – and not on the legal issues of the Executive Order itself. It’s doubtful SCOTUS would take up such a case.

Understanding:  The Structural Ben Carson Super-PAC Creators are “BIRTHERS”…

Ben Carson’s team is thrilled with the financial windfall coming amid the media attacks and media scrutiny. It appears his positions of supporting TPP and supporting a fiscal bailout for Puerto Rico don’t stop conservative donors from sending him money. It will be interesting to trace through the Carson PAC’s and follow the expenditures.

WASHINGTON TIMES – Perhaps “happy” isn’t the best word, but the Ben Carson campaign is at least confident it has weathered the quick-forming storm over questionable details in Carson’s various autobiographical writings.

“We’re going to have a more-than-$10-million month again,” said Barry Bennett, Carson’s campaign manager, in a phone conversation Sunday night. “We’re at four million already.”

Bennett noted that after the campaign raised $10.8 million in October, media attacks on Carson appear to have spurred supporters to give even more. In recent days Carson has received more than 80,000 new contributions — that is, from people who have not given to Carson before, Bennett said. He also said Carson has added more than 160,000 new likes on Facebook. (more…)

Friends, what would you be willing to do to secure a million dollars for yourself and your family?

What would you be willing to do to secure 100 million?

What about if you could attain a thousand times that Million?  A Billion Dollars.

What would you be willing to do for 100 billion?  For your influence/affluence?

What if you could possibly control a thousand times that Billion?  A Trillion.

… or twenty times that Trillion?

Now ask what do you think people would do to RETAIN those millions, billions they already possessed?  and what would they do to retain influence over trillions? (more…)

With the outcomes so consequential, we have recently found ourselves discovering more and more of what’s called: “Agenda Polling“.   It would appear Monmouth University Pollster Patrick Murry has never heard the following axiom:

….”Who you are speaks so loudly, no-one can hear a word you are saying”…

This is the same pollster, the only pollster, who discovered a previous poll sample where Ben Carson was beating Donald Trump in Iowa.  And when reading below it is set up in chronological order, pay attention to the dates. We shall just drop the raw feed data below, and you can make up your own mind. (more…)

… then quizzically poses the question, ‘gee, I wonder why’; to wit Don Mattingly in drag, aka Rachel Maddow, opines about structural advantages created by those pesky and brilliantly strategic republicans.

Yes, this is what they tell themselves – it’s never palatable to conceive the electorate are just sick and tired of Moonbat policies that always fail yet continue to return like the Phoenix from the ashes of retread socialism only to be tried yet again…

Someone offended the student football players’ racial sensibilities – though there’s no real examples of what issues could be the origin.  The college president didn’t address racial grievances from the student body when they ambushed him at a homecoming football game.   Now they demand the President be fired.

*Note* This is the same football team where Michael Sam (remember the weeks-long MSM deal –February ’14-about the gay player and the NFL draft) played football and graduated.  It appears there’s some systemic left-wing activism inherent within the university.

MISSOURI – Missouri’s head coach has backed his players after they announced a boycott of all football-related activities until their university president resigns in the midst of a racism crisis on campus.

At least 32 members of the Mizzou Tigers football team, including starting running back Russell Hansbrough, released a statement through Twitter on Saturday night saying they would not participate until Tim Wolfe quits ‘due to his negligence towards marginalized students’. (more…)

A republican has not won Minnesota since 1972.  However, if things stay as they are today, Trump wins the primary and would defeat Hillary Clinton in the general election:

(Via KTSP) Hillary Clinton appears to be the favorite to win the Democratic presidential nomination, but she has a lot of work to do if she’s going to carry Minnesota in the general election.  (more…)

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.

For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †
