Still Report #970 – Supremes Kill Obama’s Immigration Plan

from Bill Still

lass=”” >In startling news this morning, the US Supreme Court let stand a Federal Appeals Court ruling that struck down President Obama’s Immigration plan which sought to prevent deportation of millions of illegal immigrants living in the US illegally.
The 4-4 tie vote settles the matter for the duration of Obama’s presidency, but cannot set a national precedent unless the court decides by a majority decision.
Obama’s Immigration Plan, announced in November 2014, made 4 million illegal immigrants eligible for work permits without the approval of Congress.
The Federal Appeals Court in New Orleans ruled that Obama did not have the authority to do that.
I’m Still reporting from Washington. Good day.
