Injunction Junction

Federal judge Andrew S. Hanen has enjoined the Obama administration from implementing its November executive actions on immigration until after he has ruled on the case.  Here's a round-up of some coverage:
  • Josh Blackman analyzes some of the details of Hanen's 123-page ruling.
  • Patrick Brennan suggests that the battle over the constitutionality of the president's executive actions is far from over.
  • Bill Jacobson looks at the implications of this ruling for the DHS funding battle.
  • Senate Democrats seem inclined to continue to block debate on DHS funding.
  • Ilya Somin challenges some parts of Hanen's ruling.
  • The Obama administration plans to appeal.
