Trump will never be reelected fighting both parties. The GOP is goading him here. Big time. They desperately want him to lose.

Unless he has changed his mind I think Lamar is retiring and won’t run again.

the new administration isn't permitted by the Supreme Court to end DACA.

Not so - the Court merely declined to hear the adminisration's 9th Circuit-skipping appeal.

Four courts have stated that President Trump has the authority to end DACA as a policy decision ... the ball's in his court.

Regents of the University of California v. U.S. Department of Homeland Security : "To be clear: we do not hold that DACA could not be rescinded as an exercise of Executive Branch discretion. We hold only that here, where the Executive did not make a discretionary choice to end DACA—but rather acted based on an erroneous view of what the law required—the rescission was arbitrary and capricious under settled law. The government is, as always, free to reexamine its policy choices"

Napolitano v DHS: "All agree that a new administration is entitled to replace old policies with new policies [...] the new administration didn’t terminate DACA on policy grounds. It terminated DACA over a point of law, a pithy conclusion that the agency had exceeded its statutory and constitutional authority."

Batalla Vidal v. Nielsen: "Defendants indisputably can end the DACA program. [...] The question before the court is thus not whether Defendants could end the DACA program, but whether they offered legally adequate reasons for doing so. Based on its review of the record before it, the court concludes that Defendants have not done so. First, the decision to end the DACA program appears to rest exclusively on a legal conclusion that the program was unconstitutional and violated the APA and INA."

NAACP v. Trump: "while immigration policies are generally “so exclusively entrusted to the political branches of government as to be largely immune from judicial inquiry or interference,” there are good reasons to scrutinize a policy more carefully when it is based solely on an agency’s reading of domestic statutory law."

Is this the bag of bones that I last saw holding up a flannel shirt? Back in the ‘80’s?

Both parties do not realize just how fed up w/ illegal immigration the voting public is. This is the clear case of donrs having sway with politicians who no longer represent the people but rather represent themselves and their continued political power to tell people what to think and believe.

Mr Lamar, reconsider spending all your efforts getting along with Democrats rather than keeping things like campaign promises or you may continue to experience the angst of Republicsn voters as you did last year.

Yes:

“Sen. Lamar Alexander will not run for re-election in 2020, he announced Monday.

The 78-year-old Tennessee Republican will serve out the rest of his current term. In a statement, Alexander said, “it is time for someone else to have that privilege” of representing the state in the Senate.”

Just like his former “buddy,” Jeff (the) Flake!

Somebody should check the Swiss bank accounts of Lamar! and the other GOP wafflers for evidence of cartel payoffs. Their position cannot be based on any logical assessment of the current situation.

Well, surprise, surprise, surprise... never saw that comin’! Yeah, right...

Lamar Alexander, along with Susan Collins of Maine, Thom Tillis of North Carolina and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, are doing what they are paid to do by those who own them and direct their actions as Senators.

🤔Hmmmm...I wonder who those owners are ... 🤷‍♂️... because I don’t believe “they” are the people who voted those Senators into office.

I notice after reading the article that he doesn’t provide any reason, rationale or substance to his opposition.

Lamar Alexander was a part of the Tennessee cabal that was the most miserable Republican representation in any state this side of Arizona.

He should spare us his phony conservatism & constitutionalism BS. The Deep Pockets crowd that owns him are among the select few who don't suffer - but benefit - from Open Borders globalism.
