Smegheads Civil War is about to start . Hes been waiting for this .
Happy to see Red Dwarf lovers here.
We would not be in this place if donnie hadn’t decided to pull the rug out from under the dreamers in his psychotic need to destroy anything done by a superior man.
Wouldn’t that be everything ever done?
you’ve got a point. But I was referring to (still my) Pres. Obama.
Flight? To where? This is their home.
They’re Americans in everything but the legal right to live here, and that provisional right was tossed by a willfully cruel and stupid man to make them a bargaining chip. But visibility helps them. Once you know a Dreamer by name, see that they belong here in any fair world, it makes a difference.
Good! This is a political problem unfortunately, and intransigence is the name of the game - the only way to win this fight is to make their opponents pay a political price. This is a culture war that needs to be won - these are the people to win it.
Dems turned DACA into a political issue in their favor. What matters in elections are the issues that frame the election. In 2016, the Russians and Comey made emails the story, not the ACA, immigration, or medicaid. In 2012, Obama made the economic progress made to date, getting Bin Laden and saving GM, and describing Romney as an offshoring corporate shill the issue. In 2018, we’re making health care, the fate of the republic, DACA, gun control, accountability and helping people the issue. These issues cut in our favor.
Shouldn’t Jared and Iwanka be worried it might catch on – finding children guilty for the crimes of their parents?
That’s it in a nutshell.
Ha! This will buy some time.
The Supreme Court on Monday declined to enter the national controversy over “dreamers,” turning down the Trump administration’s request to immediately review lower court decisions that keep in place the program that protects undocumented immigrants brought here as children from deportation.
President Trump announced in September that he would let the program expire in March, unless Congress acted. Efforts on Capitol Hill to revive the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program (DACA) as part of a broader deal on immigration policy have failed so far.
Federal district court judges in California and New York have issued nationwide injunctions against ending the program, siding with states and organizations challenging the administration’s rescission. The court orders effectively block the Trump administration from ending the program on March 5, as planned.
No court of appeals has reviewed those decisions, and it would have been exceedingly rare for the Supreme Court to take up a case without that interim step. In the past, the court has granted such cases only in matters of grave national importance, such as the controversy over President Richard Nixon’s White House tapes or solving the Iranian hostage crisis.

The litigation now will take its usual course, and it will likely be next term before the issue could return to the Supreme Court. The White House and Congress in the meantime can continue to search for a political resolution.
The Trump administration skipped the more usual procedure of asking the high court to stay the lower court decisions. Instead, it said the court should accept the case now because it raised such important legal questions about presidential authority.
The Supreme Court just refused to take the Trump Administation’s appeal of the federal district court’s decision that reversed Trump’s March 5 DACA repeal implementation date. The upshot is that Trump will need to follow normal order and go through the 9th circuit’s appellate review process. This means that a DACA repeal case is unlikely to even get to the Supreme Court until 2019.
Recent polling finds almost 90 percent of Americans support allowing DACA recipients to stay in the U.S., including nearly 80 percent of Republicans. In 2010, it was only 54 percent. Gabe says he has seen that shift firsthand.
And still these Repukes will do nothing to protect Dreamers. That tells you everything you need to know about the party in charge of everything right now. Shameful, just fucking shameful.
The SCOTUS has weighed in.
Presidential Authority: 0
DACA: 1
It still won’t stop the evil ICE Gestapo from rounding up these Dreamers without any legal proceedings for Dreamers being offered, before they send them quickly and quietly out of the country to who knows where. They’ve been getting away with that shit for a year now. Someone with a traffic offense or some other minor offense is still ripe pickings for ICE still targeting them for deportation, no matter what this maladministration says. ICE denies this but there’s already proof they have gone after several people in this way.
ICE has become a rogue agency that really needs to be torn down root and branch, rebuilt from the ground up or responsibilities reassigned when tRump, his criminal family and associates leave the scene once and for good imo. As an agency, they seem to be made up of people with an axe to grind, not willing to follow the law, and a hotbed of anti-immigrant animus.
Trump … Bears Down
I expected another article about executive time
Maybe this will slow it way down, because they’re not acting legally. That’s my hope anyway.
