Judge Nap: Wrong for the Chief Justice to Try to Save Obama’s Immigration Exec. Actions

‘These are not laws that Congress’ written’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:

NAPOLITANO: "There was a very, very subtle effort to draw the chief justice into the liberal camp. When Justice Kagan said to the lawyers and the government if we just changed a little bit of the language in the president's executive orders and there are 12 orders, might that salvage them and the chief justice said I can think of some language we might change, that's wrong for him to do that. These are to the statutes, these are not laws that Congress has written that are presumed to be constitutional. These are the laws and rules that the president wrote, since the president doesn't write them under our Constitution, they are not constitutional."
