“I go to the office, I sue Obama and I go home,” Greg Abbott’s self-professed job description.
A Republican chosen federal judge down in Brownsville yesterday found President Obama’s executive order to halt the deportation of as many as 5 million kids who never lived in Mexico and the parents of now citizens to be unconstitutional.
The action comes from a court case that the present Republican Texas Leadership have had their hearts set upon now for a couple years now. To round up as many Hispanics as they can get their hands on, put them in concentration camps to wait on trains to ship them back to wherever they came from. Nastiness breeds familiarity.
The names of the top three individuals behind this live works of theirs are Texas Republican Governor Greg Abbott [seen here with his friend and official campaigner Ted Nugent], Texas Republican Lt Governor Dan Patrick [Evangelical Fundamentalist Talk radio host], and Republican Attorney General gun lunatic Ken Paxton.
The president’s programs are open to an estimated 5 million unauthorized immigrants who were either brought illegally to the country as children or who are parents with a child who is a U.S. citizen or legal permanent resident, so long as they meet certain requirements.
The 26 states involved in the lawsuit, according to Texas, are: Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Maine, Michigan, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, West Virginia and Wisconsin.
24 of those states are held by Republican Governors with the remaining two having Republican legislatures. This is also the biggest issue for the Republican Tea Party, the RNC, Republican Fox News, Republican talk radio, all the Republican presidential candidates and the Republican held US House and Senate.
It is expected that after Fat Tuesday, which is today so I hope you are reading this properly drunk and in beads, the 5th Circuit court of appeals will reject Judge Hanen’s decision. Which will leave the Republican Party in an ever deepening hole in the eyes of the Hispanic population of America. So why do it? And do it so loudly and proudly?
Do not Republicans get it? Don’t they understand what they are doing to themselves? What are they going to get from this chest pounding crap other than life long animus and disgust of the GOP from the fastest growing segment of voters in the country? Are they daft?
Hardly. They believe that by suppressing the vote, extending the gerrymandering, all the Citizen’s United money, control of the radio, cable news and by getting out the vote of every single white a whole in America they can hold both the Senate and House, and take the White House which will then perpetuate their ideology for another generation by replacing Ginsberg and Breyer with an additional two right-wing lunatics on the Supreme Court. And probably three if Kennedy decides to go. That would make it a standard 7 to 2 decision on everything awful for the next 25 years or so.
We have gone through many elections where we here from the losing side that they will pack up and leave. Imagine the Tea Party holding the House, the Senate, the White House and the Supreme Court. I AM OUTA HERE…
