Texas judge temporarily halts Obama's immigration action

Judge Andrew Hanen ruled that  Obama's executive actions was made with not enough time or with a short notification. President Obama said that the department of Homeland Security will continue to get ready because he believes that the judge's rule will get overruled. Jeh Johnson the Secretary of Homeland security said "We fully expect to ultimately prevail in the courts, and we will be prepared to implement DAPA and expanded DACA once we do,". Republicans argued with the president that his actions were unconstitutional. "Today's victory is an important one, but the fight to reverse the President's unconstitutional overreach is not over ,the President must respect the rule of law and fully obey the court's ruling." said John Cornyn Texas senior senator. Obama's supporters said that the only reason  why Obama did this action is because Congress didn't pass the immigration reform. Many of his supporters also said that the executive action protects immigrant youth and their families.

Hillary Clinton's stumbles fuel Democratic critics

Some stories came out that while Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State she used a private email to undermine the record keeping and that some money was transferred by the Algerian government that might have violated the Obama administrations' ethics policy. Some democrats are worried that the public's view on Clinton have changed and that this could be really bad for Hillary specially if the Republicans can use this information against her. Some say that they need a primary to show transparency and Hillary has already showed transparency by asking for the emails to be disclosed to the public. Some democrats like Paul Begala how said that the public doesn't give a poop about Hillary's email and not even a fart.
