Texas Governor Greg Abbott and Attorney General Ken Paxton responded to the late night decision by the judge. The ruling came in response to a lawsuit filed on December 3rd, 2014, by then Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott (now Governor Abbott) on behalf of the State of Texas. At the time of the filing, Texas was joined by sixteen other states. That number has increased to twenty-six states, more than half of the country. The Judge ruled that “at least one plaintiff has satisfied all the necessary elements to maintain a lawsuit and to obtain a temporary injunction.” This means that, not only can the lawsuit continue, but the judge has ordered that the President or the Secretary of Homeland Security cannot take action on the DAPA program.Governor Abbott responded to the ruling handed down late Monday night. “President Obama abdicated his responsibility to uphold the United States Constitution when he attempted to circumvent the laws passed by Congress via executive fiat, and Judge Hanen’s decision rightly stops the President’s overreach in its tracks,” Abbott wrote in a press release obtained by Breitbart Texas. ‘We live in a nation governed by a system of checks and balances, and the President’s attempt to by-pass the will of the American people was successfully checked today. The District Court’s ruling is very clear — it prevents the President from implementing the policies in ‘any and all aspects.’”[/QUOTE] [url]http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/02/16/breaking-texas-federal-court-issues-injunction-to-stop-obamas-executive-amnesty/[/url]

The rest of the western world (excluding Switzerland) uses some variant of it, and many of those countries seem to be going fine or at least much better than how governance in the US is now.

It's frustrating for nearly all involved, regardless of political position, to have the legislative and executive branch be on opposite sides and in constant struggle with each other.
That's the point though. The government isn't supposed to work quickly or efficiently, it's supposed to butt the fuck out, and deal with foreign affairs.

[QUOTE=Explosions;47162345]Says the Australian.[/QUOTE] At least our government still manages to get some shit done and not risk shutting down every other month. We have our checks and balances, but the US is excessive when it comes to theirs.
