The sheriff of Maricopa County, Ariz., has already filed a lawsuit against Obama over immigration

Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio filed a lawsuit Thursday in a U.S. District Court against President Obama over his executive action on immigration.

In the complaint, Arpaio calls the executive action and the 2012 Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals “unconstitutional abuses of the President’s role in our nation’s constitutional architecture and exceed the power of the President within the U.S. Constitution.”

“The President cannot simply announce sweeping new rules and implement them by giving a speech,” the complaint reads.

The suit was also filed against Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Director Leon Rodriquez, and U.S. Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr.

Can it be interpreted in various ways by various people ???

I am so tired of the drama.

The Supreme Court is a hot mess.

Impeachment is mentioned in every other sentence.

Suing is another favorite.

He has no standing and precedent and the Constitution are squarely on the President's side.

He cost his county millions when they had to settle with Judges and state employees civil suits settled for cash by the county.

I hope Az. state and his county get sued to bankruptcy, by all the 'little people' harmed by this 'arm of the RW haters'.
