Finally, something right.
Via Free Beacon:
Senate Republicans filed an amicus brief with the Supreme Court Monday contesting President Obama’s executive actions on immigration.
The lawmakers argued in the legal brief that Obama’s orders mark a “stark contravention to federal law” and asked the high court to review their constitutionality.
Politico reported:
The key point from the nearly four dozen GOP senators who signed the brief is that Obama, through his immigration programs, is essentially making law from the White House, threatening the separation of powers laid out by the Constitution. “There is little doubt that [Obama] adopted the Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents (“DAPA”) program as part of an explicit effort to circumvent the legislative process,” the Republicans’ friend-of-the-court brief, to be released later Monday, says.
Forty-three of the 54 Senate GOP Conference members signed the brief, which was spearheaded by Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R., Ky.).
