Supreme Court Rules Against Trump On DACA

[Rate This]

Apparently DHS didn’t follow the proper procedures and consider the right things in trying to end it so Trumps challenge has been quashed. Quite stunning actually. 5-4 ruling with Roberts siding with the liberals.

SCOTUS gets it right twice in one week. Waiting for the usual butthurt conservatives in 3 ... 2 ... 1 ...

No argument here. I agree with both rulings.

I think the only one butthurt is Trump. Proud of the SCOTUS these past few days!

Just curious - when is the last time that a liberal justice cast the deciding vote for the conservatives in a controversial case?

I guess I get to be the first one....

How exactly does Roberts justify the ruling that one Presidents executive order is valid, but the executive order by another President rescinding it isn't? Sorry, that doesn't pass constitutional muster to me.

The issue was procedural... Trumps administration screwed up how they went about it. The court did not rule on the merits of the move.

Would you have preferred an activist ruling?

Isn't that kind of what it was? I would call it a "I think Trump sucks" ruling on Robert's part.

The Obamacare ruling was a "I want everyone to think I love our first black President and want to have the Washington press fawn all over me ruling".

He had to rewrite the damn thing.

I've got to admit, I was skeptical about Gorsuch but he seems come out of the closet with some good rulings occasionally.

I always believed he would. Forget about Kavanaugh.

I would say that DACA was initiated by an activist president, when it should have gone through the legislative process. I don't think its ultimately a bad policy, but that is beside the point. When Trump decided he wanted to reverse the policy, the administration should have taken great care to make sure it was handled correctly. They didn't, which opened up the opportunity for the procedural question to be raised. In this case, allowing DACA to be overturned because a majority of the court didn’t like the policy and were willing to overlook the procedural errors made by the Trump administration, would have been an activist decision.

That and Roberts seems to want to protect the courts reputation for calling balls and strikes so occasionally he throws the liberals a bone. I don’t think he’s the second coming of Anthony Kennedy though.

Kavanaugh doesn't seem to be concerned about the structure of law so far.
