[I just DON’T understand why Trump capitulated to his “friends” in Congress who asked that he put off funding the wall until after the election - what a stupid move.]


Maybe he’s just not that into the wall. Just as he was not that into DACA deportations that he promised to end by executive order on day 1. Politically, I have no idea how it would have played out. But Trump decided that he was going to make a show of trying to end DACA by having Sessions call it unconstitutional* instead of simply issuing an executive order to end it.

* Since as a matter of law, only the courts can declare something unconstitutional, this was promptly eighty-sixed by an Obama appointee.

DACA isn’t a EO. It’s only policy. It wouldn’t take anyone declaring it unconstitutional. Just end the policy.
