Trump Wins Again – Obama DOJ Halts Amnesty Lawsuit In Uncharacteristic Display Of Humility

Not many people would accuse Obama or his Department of Justice of being in any way reserved or humble. After all, it takes a pretty brazen Attorney General to meet privately with Bill Clinton on a tarmac in Phoenix at the very same time that Hillary is under a criminal investigation by the FBI. So you can imagine our complete shock when we discovered that the U. S. Department of Justice decided to stay ongoing litigation of Obama’s amnesty plan until February 20, 2017, citing a “change in Administration.” Granted, the litigation likely wouldn’t have been resolved before Trump’s inaguaration anyway, but it’s shocking nontheless.
Pursuant to this Court’s October 6, 2016, Order, the parties have met and conferred and have reached agreement on how to proceed in this case. For the reasons stated below, the parties jointly move to stay proceedings on the merits of Plaintiffs’ claims, including the obligation to propose a schedule for resolution of the case, until February 20, 2017. The basis for this motion is as follows:
1. This Court previously stayed the merits of this litigation, including the obligation to propose a schedule to resolve the merits of this action, pending Fifth Circuit and Supreme Court proceedings so that the Court and the parties could benefit by knowing the disposition of any appeal. See ECF Nos. 164, 200, 271, 320, 364, 422; Minute Entry (Aug. 31, 2016).
