Reflections From a Murky Pond

Over what were likely alternately strident and petulant objections from the Obama Regime the SCOTUS has agreed to hear Arizona’s appeal of a lower federal court’s blocking of key provisions of AZ’s Support Our Law Enforcement and Safe Neighborhoods Act (SB 1070).

Worse for Obama and his handlers, his hand puppet Justice Elena Kagan has been forced to recuse herself due to her having been involved in the administration’s initial legal opposition to the law as Obama’s solicitor general.

Given that the SCOTUS is also currently hearing the Obama Regime’s continued appeals against Arizona’s 2007 Legal Arizona Workers Act and is expected to uphold a lower court’s ruling in favor of Arizona, things are not looking well for Obama, his handlers, and the illegal immigrants whose legal relatives they’re pandering to.

It’s amazing how the Liberals and Progressives living within America’s borders refuse to learn from history or to allow others to do so. Their ethnoguiltism, hatred for American culture, and rampant oikophobia are such that they cannot respond sanely to many issues.

Nor can they respond consistently to those same issues. For example, the Liberals and Progressives loath and hate the pilgrims’ colonization of America and always seek to frame it in terms of conquest and the rape and destruction of the Native Americans’ culture.

Yet they loath and hate Americans who have learned from the Native Americans’ past mistakes of allowing immigrants who refused to assimilate to survive and to colonize America.

They’re funny that way, or would be if Americans weren’t so tolerant of them that we’ve allowed them to have some measure of input into our nation’s actions.

President Obama, despite a MSM that is, by and large, still firmly supporting him – even unto the utter degradation of whatever vestiges of journalistic ethics they still possessed – is once again experiencing a nightmare.

This particular nightmare is the belief that he illegally and unconstitutionally de facto enacted the DREAM Act via executive order even though the Senate killed the bill in December, 2010.

Despite the MSM’s apparent refusal to report upon it, the news of Obama’s actions of Friday, June 24,2011 leaked out via alternative journalistic outlets on the internet, raising the expected combination of outrage from Americans and praise from Liberals and their minority tenants.

This particular post, apparently by The Examiner (link is restricted) has been making the rounds of the internet this weekend. It’s been cited by both Conservatives and Liberals, though obviously with differing intent and emphasis.

On Friday, the Obama administration issued a memo announcing that federal immigration officials do not have to deport illegal aliens if they are enrolled in any type of education program, if their family members have volunteered for U.S. military service, or even if they are pregnant or nursing.

This new policy of “prosecutorial discretion” was quietly announced on Friday afternoon, and completely ignored by the mainstream press.

Author of Arizona’s SB1070 and Kansas’ secretary of state, Kris Kobach, told the Daily Caller: “They’re pushing the [immigration] agents to be even more lax, to go further in not enforcing the law. At a time when millions of Americans are unemployed and looking for work, this is more bad news coming from the Obama administration… [if the administration] really cared about putting Americans back to work, it would be vigorously enforcing the law.”

While the facts involved in this are evidenced by a July 17, 2011 internal memorandum by the ICE’s Director to all immigration enforcement personnel, the conclusion that Obama has illegally and unconstitutionally enacted the DREAM Act via executive order is a long stretch.
