There is little the Republican Party can do to prevent President Obama from issuing executive orders on Thursday that will delay the threat of deportation for millions of upwards of 5 million undocumented immigrants, but that doesn't mean that the GOP doesn't have a hope of overturning the president's actions. According to Senator Rand Paul, the United States Supreme Court is that hope.
"I think with regard to immigration reform, [the president] is doing something that Congress has not instructed him to do and in fact has instructed him otherwise, so I think the Supreme Court would strike it down," Paul told Fox News' Sean Hannity this week. "That takes a while, but that may be the only recourse short of a new president."
