On the 18 February 2015 edition of Anderson Cooper 360, CNN's Jeffrey Toobin hyped that a federal judge's stay on President's Obama's executive action granting amnesty for scores of illegal immigrants is a "very, very bad ruling for the President and his administration." Toobin underlined that the judge is "a known conservative judge, who...[has] been hostile to the President on immigration reform." The legal analyst later asserted that "the Obama administration is going to go to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, which is a very conservative court – not good – not sympathetic territory for the President. And given the stakes here, I think the Supreme Court can't really stay out of this for very long."
