In February of this year, a federal judge in Texas ruled in favor Gov. Greg Abbott after Texas governor challenged President Obama’s executive amnesty.
On Monday the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the ruling that Obama’s amnesty push is unconstitutional, but here’s how the Associated Press framed it:
BREAKING: Appeals court rules against Obama's plan to protect about 5 million people from deportation.

Well, that’s one way to put it.
@AP I think you meant "Appeals court rules against Obama 's plan to refuse to see that the laws are executed."

The AP tweet sounds like it could have been written by Josh Earnest.
That's one way to put it. Another is to note the president is obliged to enforce immigration law. Interesting choice https://t.co/mUkCaEkgvp

Or: "Appeals court rules against Obama's plan to circumvent the rule of law." #journalism https://t.co/Y0LpRWpD1k

MT @AP This ruling is more evidence that we don't deserve a President as caring and wonderful as Obama. https://t.co/BNhhC0NrfA

Uh, don't you mean Obama's plan to register 5 million illegals as democrats? https://t.co/hiLzsV9hz1

@TracyJeffords @AP @instapundit You misspelled "Court votes to uphold Constitution and reject President's extrajudicial actions"

I wasn't aware it was the job of the government to "protect" people from the consequences of breaking the law. https://t.co/7DkNf26E6M
