The result could affect the standing of other Obama appointees, such as the head of the president's ...

They unleashed in November 2013 what’s call ...

A federal judge who has blocked President Barack Obama's immigration executive action suggested on Thursday that he could order sanctions against the Justice Department if he rules it misled him about when exactly the administration began implementing one of the measures.

Guess somebody's pretty upset over it. Too bad. I hope the Supreme Court also upholds it, but I'm tired of Obama trying to change laws. He has no right to make law, change the law, or to pick and choose which laws to enforce, jsut like the the former AG had done. Hopefully, he won't challenge it but I don't think his ego will just let it go. ______________________________ President Barack Obama's executive action to shield millions of undocumented immigrant ...

I heard about the story of smuggled capsules of human flesh made in you know where. As if finding out they eat eggs cooked in urine of small boys was not enough to make me gag. So, then found that Pepsi uses fetal cells as a flavor enhancer (at least that's my understanding of the article - could be wrong of course). Then I read that Obama's administration said it's okay to use aborted fetus in Pepsi. Again, maybe I read that wrong. Either way, never ...
