The TP article has BREAKING in the title, but I'm just gonna put it here
http://thinkprogress.org/justice/2014/12/16/3604314/breaking-republican-judge-strikes-down-obamas-immigration-order/
In an extraordinary opinion that transforms a routine sentencing matter into a vehicle to strike down a politically controversial policy, a George W. Bush-appointed judge in Pennsylvania declared President Obamas recently announced immigration policy unconstitutional on Tuesday. Because the policy may apply to a defendant who was awaiting sentencing of a criminal immigration violation, Judge Arthur Schwab decides that he must determine whether the Executive Action is constitutional. He concludes that it is not.
Schwab spends just five pages discussing his rationale for this conclusion, an unusually short amount of legal analysis for a complex question regarding the scope of the executive branchs power to set enforcement priorities. Notably, Schwab also spends nearly three pages discussing quotes from President Obama which, the judge claims, indicate that Obama once thought his present actions are illegal even though Schwab eventually admits that these quotes are not dispositive of the constitutionality of his Executive Action on immigration.
