Issa Statement on Ruling in United States v. Texas

Statement

Congressman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) released the following statement in response to the Supreme Court ruling in U.S. v. Texas, which held that that President's use of executive action to grant amnesty to illegal immigrants is unconstitutional:

"Today's decision is a victory for the Constitution and rule of law as it was designed to be," said Congressman Darrell Issa. "In our democracy, the President doesn't get to legislate by executive decree whenever the people's representatives don't give him what he wants. He has to follow the Constitution which says laws come from the American people through the legislative branch, not the President. The decision today protects the American people from executive power run amok."

"The split-decision also reminds us all how important it is that the next Supreme Court justice demonstrate a deep reverence for limited government and the Constitution as it was originally intended. The future justice will have tremendous sway over close decisions like these."
