Thank Goodness our nations founders had the foresight to create a government of checks and balances. Obama may make fun of those that appreciate the constitution, but at least it's keeping him from being like Nicolas Maduro here in the US.

President Barack Obama’s plan to shield more than 5 million undocumented immigrants from deportation before he leaves office was dealt another blow by an appeals court’s refusal to let the program begin while 26 states fight to derail it.
The U.S. Court of Appeals in New Orleans said a federal judge’s ruling blocking the plan was “impressive and thorough” and that states led by Texas were likely to ultimately win the lawsuit. The judge in Brownsville, Texas, ruled the White House had skipped required federal policy-making steps and halted the program in February, hours before it was to begin taking applications.
The White House may take the dispute to the U.S. Supreme Court, where further delays would likely thrust immigration policy onto center stage in the 2016 presidential contest. Newly elected Speaker Paul Ryan has said House Republicans won’t be offering legislation on immigration reform, calling Obama an unreliable partner because he had attempted to go around Congress with executive orders.
