professor blackman, is this something you can comment on as well? mr. blackman: absolutely. the memorandum said the key question, is the president acting in consonant with congressional policy? is congress acquiescing to this? there are several instances in the past where congress has acquiesced, but in each case deferred action serves as a temporary bridge where there was some lawful status. ini will give you enter example, with hurricane katrina a lot of schools were shut down and they lost their status as foreigners. they said you can enroll in another university and you will not be enrolled in that time. that is a good example of deferred action. they lost their status in the new give it back to them later. what is happening here is there no plan for success. beneficiaries will not get anything, nothing. the only way they can get a visa is if there child turns 21 and they preempt a 10 year bar that gets waived. there is more of a tunnel to go through the law which makes it inconsistent with congressional policy. >> thank you very much, the chair will now recognize the ge

joining us is josh blackman, sant professor of law.and the executive director of center. >> let me start with you. hasn't earlier supreme court decisions made it clear that there's federal authority in the area, that the states can't make policy. >> thank you for having me. the supreme court explained that in immigration, it's the congress who makes authority, and gives the ability to enforce that. it declines to deport four or 5 million people. it is not controlled by a number of supreme court decisions. the fact that the district court judge pronounced the state as having standing, that's a big deal, isn't it? >> this is based on a 2003 decision in massachusetts. they claimed the bush administration was not passing varies environmental rules. because they were not passing, there would be climate change. because there was climate change, seas would rise, and the coastline of massachusetts would be injured. the supreme court in an opinion said yes, massachusetts can sue the administration. and it was based on that that president obama'
