Serious / Texas judge blocks Obama's immigration order

The Obama administration on Tuesday said it would appeal a move by a federal judge in Texas that temporarily stopped the president’s executive actions on immigration, an anticipated judicial roadblock that was greeted with partisan reactions.

In a decision released late Monday night, U.S. District Judge Andrew Hanen put on hold Obama's executive action to protect between 4 million and 5 million immigrants in the U.S. illegally from deportation. The first of the actions, expanding a program that protects young immigrants who were brought to the U.S. illegally as children, was set to launch on Wednesday.

In a statement released early Tuesday morning, the White House said Obama’s November actions are within the president's legal authority. The White House argued that the U.S. Supreme Court and Congress have said federal officials can establish priorities in enforcing immigration laws.

“The district court's decision wrongly prevents these lawful, commonsense policies from taking effect and the Department of Justice has indicated that it will appeal that decision,” the statement said.

Surprise level: 0. Of course he did.

Am I the only one who isn't surprised or... aghast, or anything?
Yes, because you don't have feelings.

Except drinking a beer doesn't make you dysfunctional.
Yes it does. If you're drinking alcohol, but not getting drunk, then you're still a fucking cunt moron because alcohol tastes terrible.
But at the end of the day, drunk or not, I'm still not the insufferable cunt that you are.

but i wanna laugh at someone as they stumble over themselves trying to explain

I love people who criticize things they don't know anything about.

This is the part where I shill for solid state electronics, right?

Regardless of the quality of Solidstate, its simply not the same as tubes.
Consider yourselves plebs.
But I don't own a solid state guitar amp..
I never said you had a solid state.
I merely made a statement concerning solid state.
But even so, if you dont have a solid state, and you dont have tubes, you have something pretty nasty. So you are still(even more so) pleb tier.
I have 3 tube amps that work very well for my needs.

Because tradition.

Tradition here is to sacrifice newborns for good crop growth. Should it still be relevant because "tradition"?
I didn't say it was a good idea, just the reason.

States can nullify FEDERAL shit?

10th Amendment.

Basically, as long as it doesn't involve interstate commerce, the States can legally do what they want. Which is how the handful of states that have nullified this shit have gotten away with it. What it boils down to is, as long as it stays in state, it's golden.
Isn't that in direct conflict with the Supremacy Clause?

in places like the U.S. I do think that the wealthy pay a disproportionate amount into the public purse.
What's the alternative though, raising the taxes on the middle and lower classes?
Nope, just not spending as much (yes, I know how politically difficult that is).
Shit, I wish we would.

I encounter this way too often. Am I just too sympathetic to the struggles of the poor? Am I wrong? A flat tax is dumb.

I'm not sure I could even bring myself to do that.

Not sure why he's shitting on me about tubes. The only SS amp I own is for my bass..

get one of these if you're getting something that isn't a sedan or sporty vehicle, anything but a cancerous suv

the bus was a joke, but seriously. unless you want your ass laughed at by a majority of people, don't get an SUV, ever.
I've never heard anyone judge someone for an SUV, ever.
I judge every douchebag and soccer mom I see driving around in oversized SUV's.
Don't judge me.
there's a good reason behind it, most assholes in SUVs have no clue how to fucking drive, and merge constantly without looking because they think that because they have a 4x4 they own the fucking road.
suv=/=crossover
crossover = wannabe suv.
And nowhere near as cool as a real hatch.
I wish hot hatches were popular in the US so we'd get more. I'm jealous of Europe and all their fun, tiny cars.

My music is pretty shit. I just noodle around in my bedroom or occasionally jam with friends.

I used to write and record all the different parts to shit, but that was just so much work it wasn't  lot of fun.

Yawn.
Clean, distorted, anything you do on E guitar has tone you faggot.
Run a Way Huge swollen pickle through even a 5150 amp head and you have instant eargasm.
Run some dope verb and delay pedals through a Rectifier and you will shit your pants because of the awesomeness.
Tubes will improve the sound quality drastically no matter what you are playing.

Yeah, no only buying from official dealers.
Buying brand new is a mistake, really. You can get a 2 year-old car in great shape for like, $12k less than a new one, depending on the car.
