    There have been plenty of other executive power related rulings where one of them was. I’m also not sure why you think it’s some kind of conspiracy or what the point you’re trying to make is.
    im not buying the ulterior motive

    Trump tweeted after the ruling that it was all due to the fact that the High Court doesn’t “like” him.

    “It’s not about whether the Court likes the president,” said Pelosi.

    “He should know that.

    It’s whether the Court likes the Cons ution of the United States.

    And with the LGBTQ ruling the other day, and

    now with the DACA, clearly this is a victory for the American people.

    And it isn’t about — it isn’t personal about the president.

    It’s cons utional about our country.”

    Yeah, let's not conclude this is some huge defection on Roberts' part. This is about Trump's doing pretty much everything wrong.



    Trump is a terrible president
    tired of losing

    Going against DACA would piss off the Jewish community. Conservative Christian Zionist judges cannot allow that.

    looking back earlier in the thread, all they had to do was give a good faith reason for their DACA repeal other than "we have to repeal it because it is illegal" which was just an effort to pander to their base tbh
    The adminstrative and legal incompetence of the gang that wants to dismantle the administrative state seems to be interfering with the destruction of the same.

    He said he will try to end it again.

    I assume he thinks he’ll win re-election because this is going to take years since they have to draw it up from page 1. What a maniac. Winning the Hispanic vote by mass deporting the ones actually contributing to this country.

    Such a winning strategy.

    Obama backed the "Arab (jihadist) Spring"

    Slick Willy gave billions of US taxpayer dollars to save Muslims from Milosevic in Serbia in 1999

    Lyndon Johnson started the Vietnam War

    Chump Lite is mad I noted that Supreme Court appointees don't have lifetime guarantees.
    The problem is that we act like they do.

    Well it does say in article 3 that they are appointed for life

    they have to do something obscene, disorderly conduct etc to get involuntarily terminated from their position. I was watching Tucker last night and he asked about it too and Ted Cruz told him that even with a GOP Senate, House and WH and SCOTUS majority they can't even demote Roberts from chief justice to associate justice without a viable grievance against Roberts. Tucker seemed bummed out, but, it's the way it is, we can't just kick SCOTUS judges out because they made a decision you or I or Trump or Tucker or Ted Cruz doesn't like. It would also set a bad precedent and a slippery slope.

    Lyin' Ted.

    The truth is government can, but Republicrats have no interest in overhauling the system.
    Though if you want to make a case he's telling the truth, he's technically right. It is the president empowered to determine appointment lengths.

    and if they did, it would set a bad precedent, in fact one that none other than Stephen Breyer himself has long advocated for... an "adaptable" cons ution... Scalia fought him hard over that.

    all that said, I think if it was breyer dead instead of Scalia in 2016, I think Mitch doesn't go out of his way to block Merrick Garland.

    It's been 100 days since the Supreme Court ruled on DACA.

    Trump is still defying the order


    when it comes to honoring the rulings made by that same Supreme Court, the Trump administration is in no rush.

    for 100 days, officials have defied the Supreme Court’s ruling and refused to reopen the program to new applicants.

    the Trump administration has in fact been defying not one, but two court orders to fully reopen the DACA program to new applicants, following a Maryland judge’s ruling a month after that historic Supreme Court decision.

    Unlawful Chad has since been sued for his unlawful memo

    that made the Supreme Court defiance official by rejecting new applications and slashing current protections in half.

    No Law Is Above the Man

    Repugs are proving they can break the law, ignore the courts, and get away with no punishment,

    while packing the Federal judiciary with so-called judges who won't even rule against them.

    Bypassing Senate confirmation turns out to have been inexpedient; Wolf's new DACA rules are invalid because Wolf wasn't legally hired and had no power to issue them.

    Oopsie!

    What an apt bookend. DHS is ordered to accept new requests for deferral.

    its hilarious how much the anti-obama rhetoric actually ed trump in his attempt to undo DACA

    typically, anything done by EO can just as easily be undone by EO. and usually, the courts have no room to weigh-in on political questions regarding whether or not an EO is good or bad, or being done for valid or invalid reasoning. with the ONE exception: if the reasoning stated by the executive branch is a purely legal one. and when trump tried undoing DACA, the EO stated that they had to undo DACA because DACA was illegal. and that gave the courts the right to weigh in, and completely ed with the effort

    pettiness and incompetence, the hallmarks of this presidency
