President Obama is blaming the Supreme Court striking down his illegal executive action on immigration on a Republican failure to confirm his nominee Merrick Garland. But the only person Obama should be blaming is himself.
As a reminder, President Obama repeatedly said before taking executive action in December 2014 that he didn’t have the authority to change immigration law or stop deportations on his own.
“The notion that I can just suspend deportations through executive order, that’s just not the case,” Obama said to Univision.
