Jan 30, 2017 at 12:46 comment added Heisenberg I don't mind migrating, but in my mind, this is a question about check and balance, as well as about how political forces can use the judiciary to further their goals.
Jan 29, 2017 at 20:54 comment added user4012 I get that the topic is somewhat political overall but shouldn't this be on Law.SE as the question's substance is legal, as are all current answers?
Jan 29, 2017 at 19:39 comment added Ross Ridge The the answer you link is wrong is saying only Congress and the Supreme Court can overturn a Executive Order. In fact any Distirct Court can overturn an Executive Order by declaring it unconstitutional. In the case where Obama's order to delay deportations was "overturned" it was actually a District Court that issued a preliminary injunction that was affirmed by an Appeals Court and then again by the Supreme Court. Since this was only a preliminary injunction the case is still before the courts though it's presumably moot now. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Texas

Jan 29, 2017 at 19:07 comment added Chris Hayes You're probably going to get much better answers on Law.SE. The one you linked to is a definite oversimplification of how the judicial system works.
