Texas may sue Obama over immigration order

Texas Gov. Rick Perry said his state might sue President Barack Obama's administration over his planned immigration executive order, Politico reports.

"I think that's probably a real possibility," Perry said at the Republican Governors Association's annual meeting.

Obama's plan, which he'll announce Thursday night in Nevada, could shield millions of non-violent undocumented immigrants from deportation.

The threat of a lawsuit from Texas probably isn't a shocker, given that state Attorney General Greg Abbott's self-professed job description is "I go to the office, I sue Obama and I go home," as Politico notes.
