Federal Judge Strikes Down Amnesty: “Obama’s Unilateral Action Violates Separation of Powers… is Unconstitutional”

A federal judge for the Western District of Pennsylvania used a deportation decision to probe the constitutionality – or lack thereof – of President Obama’s executive order on amnesty, declaring it “unconstitutional.”
How that ruling might impact other cases or the acceptability of Obama’s psuedo-law is unclear, however.
While Texas and other states have already initiated lawsuits challenging the order, this is the first case to test how Obama’s unilateral immigration action would impact deportations and sentencing for illegal aliens unlawfully present in the United States.
Judge Arthur J. Schwab wrote an opinion weighing whether Obama’s recent executive order is constitutional, and whether it factored into the decision to deport one Elionardo Juarez-Escobar, a 42-year old Honduran working for his brother’s landscaping business and apprehended for driving while drunk after having been previously removed from the country and reentering. Schwab concluded:
“President Obama’s unilateral legislative action violates the separation of powers provided for in the United States Constitution as well as the Take Care Clause, and therefore, is unconstitutional.”
