No. Would he do it if he could? Absolutely not, he said he wouldn't about a dozen times so far, just look around on youtube or google it.

Can he overrule a supreme court decision? No, if they uphold SB1070, then it is legal for all states to do it if they want. He can't do anything about that. And what you want is outside the realm of possibility in an election year, when he has to win states like Ohio and Iowa and North Carolina.
I get that he wants to win conservative & more independent or swing states but the problem with that logic is that although his inaction may get him some votes from those states, he may lose the votes from the minority immigrant community that he desperately needs in order to win in November.

Also like other members on this thread have stated, Obama can lawfully sign an EO that will provide us with Relief, it is within his power.

Ironic that I can talk intelligently about it and you can't, given that factor.
Dude, a while back, you had the nerve to call a nutjob prediction that nothing will happen in 10 more years reality.

Maybe because people like a touch of reality from time to time instead of rah rah rah articles so they can make plans with their lives

Intelligently? My fucking balls.

The president has the power to do it and it would be difficult to veto his decision. I think the real question here is if he'll do it after November. You argue that he has repeatedly said that he wouldn't sign an EO and prefers the legislative route......


...........OF COURSE he's going to say that......this wouldn't be your typical EO, it's probably the most controversial EO of our time. This EO could potentially benefit more than 1 million people so he's not going to publicly admit that he's willing to do it. WHY? The political implications and public backlash would pretty much cost him the election.

So yes, he can do it. Will he? Maybe not.
Will it be before November? Hell No.
Can an EO of this magnitude be vetoed given the composition of congress and the nature of the EO? Highly unlikely
