King Barry will not be amused A federal judge has found parts of President Obama’s new deportation amnesty to be unconstitutional, issuing a scathing memo Tuesday accusing him of usurping Congress’s power to make laws, and dismantling most of the White House’s legal reasoning for circumventing Congress.

WaPo’s update on Rolling Stone’s U-VA “gang-rape” story: Did “Jackie” just make it all up? [Darleen Click]
Fantasist The three students agreed to be interviewed on the condition that The Post use the same aliases that appeared in Rolling Stone because of the sensitivity of the subject.
