DACA lands before Supreme Court: Showdown over Trump bid to end ‘Dreamer’ program

FOX News ^

[Sir Napsalot]

Stop pinning hopes that SCOTUS will rule constitutionally.

[semimojo]

This is pretty clear cut constitutionally. No congressionally passed law.

The government isn't asking SCOTUS to rule on constitutionality - ostensibly because they want to wind DACA down gradually rather than have it end abruptly based on a SCOTUS ruling.

Their argument is the decision to rescind DACA is one the agency can make and it isn't reviewable by the courts.

The DACA supporters say it is reviewable because the agency violated the Administrative Procedure Act by being arbitrary and capricious in their decision making.

This is the same basic argument that killed the census question too, BTW.

[Lurkinanloomin]

It’s not complicated.
It was never legal.
Obama had no authority to do what he did (even if he was a legitimate President, which he wasn’t)

[Mr.Unique]

This should be a slam dunk.

[Lurkinanloomin]

We left the Constitution behind on Usurpation Day, January 20, 2009

DACA was not even an executive order, it was a policy memo put out by DHS.

[USS Alaska]

Trump has every right to rescind it.

While you are 100% correct, we still have to worry about the pix of john roberts and the baby...animals.

[ridesthemiles]

Obama did DACA with an EXECUTIVE ORDER...Congress didn’t pass anything & no law was signed.

Supremes better pay attention to the rue structure of laws.

[zeugma]

Oral Arguments for this should be interesting.

[wastedyears]

Roberts will rule it a tax.

Of course he will.

[SkyPilot]

However, the supreme court has shown repeatedly that doesn’t matter if they desire an outcome they will invent a way to justify no matter how unconstitutional or abhorrent it is.

You don't know how accurate you are.

A couple of years ago, a major media publication (might have been Newsweek or NY Times) published an article about the Obamacare decision. An insider had clearly given vast details of what went on behind the scenes to the reporter.

It was shocking.

Roberts called a "meeting" - and the justices sat around and discussed the POLITICAL implications of overturning Obamacare.

It is a myth that the court weighs decisions in light of what the Constitution actually says.

[sheana]

It peeves me. Lol

[Eleutheria5]

Reverse an EO of the sacred JFK? Why that’s as unthinkable as disagreeing with a lib—oh, wait.

[sergeantdave]

You nailed it. Both congress and the president are sovereigns.

[tired&retired]

Trump can be the Hispanic Hero if they rule in his favor and he forces Congress to make a good deal.

[Brown Deer]

What about all of those Executive Orders, that were issued by Hussein, that rescinded previous Executive Orders of Bush?

[Pining_4_TX]

My pet conspiracy theory is that Roberts is being blackmailed.

[kiryandil]

DACA is a memo, not an executive order, no matter how much the Federal machinery pretends otherwise.

[kiryandil]

What about all of those Executive Orders, that were issued by Hussein, that rescinded previous Executive Orders of Bush?

DACA is NOT an executive order.

It's a memorandum. The Democrats, the Republicans and the Federal judiciary are all just pretending that it's an executive order.

[kiryandil]

Executive memorandum, not an executive order.

Our Lords and Masters in both parties and the judiciary are just pretending that it's an executive order.

Kind of like they're pretending that Trump did something impeachable.

[Trump Girl Kit Cat]

Roberts isn’t being blackmailed he has ALWAYS been a Lib GWB knew he was a lib he chose someone without much in rulings so he could fool the base AND he did just that GWB has NEVER been conservative and we ALL know that now!!! EVERYONE on this site should know without a doubt that Roberts will rule with the Libs and NOT because of being blackmailed!!!
