9th Circus Judge puts a stay on the removal of DACA

Didn’t Obama admit it was unconstitutional, and only Congress could do what he did? Why would a court, oh wait, 9th circuit, nevermind.....

I don’t think the 9th circuit even has copies of the constitution. They just wake up and say “eh, this seems right”.

How is this possible when at its core DACA is unconstitutional. Crazy town.

They don't need a Constitution. They believe it is a living document, and therefore not a document.

Blame Carter.

The court earned its flower-child reputation fairly. In the late 1970s, President Carter and a Democratic Congress nearly doubled the number of judges on the court. Carter’s appointees included “liberal lion” Stephen Reinhardt, who in recent years struck down Arizona’s “English-only” constitutional provision and California’s Proposition 8 banning same-sex marriage.

Harry Pregerson said during his confirmation hearing that if he had to choose between the law and his conscience...“I would follow my conscience.”

By 1980, Carter had appointed 15 of the court’s 23 judges. They included “some of the most liberal judges ever, to any court,” former Chief Judge Alex Kozinski once told the New York Times.

Some of the 9th Circuit’s most controversial rulings have related to criminal law, especially the death penalty. In 1992, it waged an all-night duel with the Supreme Court over the execution of convicted murderer Robert Harris, issuing stay after stay, each one reversed by Supreme Court justices until they ordered the 9th Circuit to stop.

Between 2006 and 2009, the 9th Circuit threw out the capital sentence of convicted murderer Fernando Belmontes three times, with each decision overturned by the Supreme Court.

In 2011, when the Supreme Court once more reversed the 9th Circuit on a capital punishment case, it accused the appeals court of exhibiting “judicial disregard” for “sound and established principles” of law

The Left just wants power. Ultimately, the only thing they really respect is brute force. They certainly don't respect the rule of law in any way, shape or form.

Well it's not new.

Judicial activism was born and breed in the 9th Circuit in the 70's and 80's.

They've made no bones about it - they never cared for precedent or stare decisis.

They were the original "feels court" - all about my feels and conscience...which is more important than Common Law, the Constitution and Federal laws.

GOP could reconfigure the 9th however they want.

Would rather use it as a boogeyman for voters

Correct.

They got no strings to hold them down.

They know what's best for us and we should listen.

Not surprising.
