Federal judge writes new law - "Habitual Drunkards" cannot be deported

[ShootSpeeders]

HUH?? Since when do we need a reason to deport an illegal beyond the fact the fact that they are illegal??? Deport all illegals - no exception.

Appeals court rules alcoholism an illness, not a moral defect

march 24 2016
A law barring unauthorized immigrants from challenging their deportation if they are “habitual drunkards” is unconstitutional because alcoholism is an illness, not a moral defect that would automatically disqualify them, a divided federal appeals court ruled Thursday.

“Like any other medical condition, alcoholism is undeserving of punishment,” the U.S. Court of Appeals in San Francisco said in a 2-1 ruling. “We are well past the point where it is rational to link a person’s medical disability with his moral character.”

The law, more than a century old, allows only migrants with “good moral character” to challenge their deportation on the grounds that it would cause severe hardship to family members who were U.S. citizens or legal residents. The law defines good moral character to exclude those who have been convicted of certain serious crimes, have lied to gain a benefit in immigration proceedings, or are “habitual drunkards.”

US Court of Appeals in SAN FRANCISCO. That explains it.

So if an illegal alien doesn't wanna be deported...become a gay transgender alcoholic.

Judges write laws all the time today even though the constitution says they can't.

The day when we bow down before judicial edicts is coming to an end. Apple is setting a new trend, ignoring court orders when they clearly exceed their bounds. We are in a war and these black robed tyrants are on the wrong side of it.

I'd love to see that but the judges have been writing laws for 200 years and getting away with it. I don't think Apple can stop them. The states need to stand up to the courts. Our constitution was built on states rights.

As usual, the OP is lying. Not a new law and the judge didn't write. OTOH, Gov Pence just signed an unconstitutional law. Where's the RWNJ outrage there?

Yeah, that's what I thought.

It's not a law? So it's not binding on anyone? Make up your mind.

Judges can't change law, write law, nor interpret law. This judge should be impeached for usurpation of The Constitution.

If they don't want to be sent back to where ever they came from, they should learn to stay out of legal trouble. Then their illegal status will then never come to light in the first place.

God bless you always!!!
