Precedence

Here's a political post.... sorry.

There's this "thing" in my head that I cannot shake off.

It has to do with our white house doing an end-run around the congress and senate regarding the treatment of illegal immigrants. (The Dream Act)

Our Legislative branch is telling our law enforcement agents to NOT deport illegal immigrants unless they've committed a crime in the US.

This tells me that our white house just told our law enforcement to ignore federal law.

Since our legal system is based on precedence, we can assume that we also can ignore federal law without consequences.

So, all federal laws are no longer enforceable because of this precedence.

I'd appreciate your comments on this.
