Judge Andrew Napolitano appeared on FOX News to talk about President Obama’s latest judicial setback in the lawsuit against his executive action on amnesty for illegal aliens.

NAPOLITANO: When the case is finally tried in district court, the government will probably lose, the President will probably lose, and for that reason they’re going to keep the injunction in place.

CAVUTO: But what changes if the President is still freezing these deportations? He’s still doing it.
