Another Win for the Constitution
By Jay Sekulow, ACLJ
14 hrs. ago
Today, a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit denied a motion by the Obama Administration urging the court to remove an injunction that blocked implementation of the President’s Executive overreach.
The Fifth Circuit decision concluded that “ecause the government is unlikely to succeed on the merits of its appeal of the injunction, we deny the motion for stay and the request to narrow the scope of the injunction.”
We at the ACLJ are extremely pleased that the appeals court reached this very reasonable and sound decision.
We urged the appeals court to leave the preliminary injunction in place arguing that the Obama Administration’s request to remove the injunction was just another flawed attempt to circumvent the legal process and to put in place an unconstitutional power grab that is not only unlawful but unconstitutional as well. We’re confident the court ultimately will conclude that President Obama’s overreach, in effect, changed the law – a violation of the separation of powers.
Impatient presidents don’t get to change the law.
