Discussion for article #243322
The court, of course, has the jurisdiction to delay the process at any step of the way.
So even with a seemingly optimistic timelineâŚthe entire process can still all go to shit with useless delays and overtime. Nuff said.
Iâd say, Not quite nuff said. I think the SCOTUS has determined as a group itâs knows enough on âurgencyâ and on the issues at play. I DOD accept your emphasis on Tierney Sneedâs caution: the SCOTUS doesnât agree on a whole lot, but it does agree that it doesnât want IT to be made out as a proxy battlefield during a presidential election.
If the SCOTUS were delay RELEASE of its decision until after next Novemberâs election, that would be inconsisent with whatever we can take in the way of policy from recent SCOTUS behavior, yet actually not be unlawful. Stll - if they didnât do that in the Obamacare challenge in 2012, it doesnât seem likely theyâll go that way on immigration.
The administration is going to win this one, but Iâm not convinced anyone - other than those who actually âlikedâ Roe v Wade - will like HOW that win looks. If the decision gets cobbled together from matching up a more-or-less uniform position on behalf of the 4 liberals with a conservative decision with or without one vote in support of that technical dissent, with a uniform view from the 3 most reflexively conservative bank of Alito, Scalia & Thomas, I think itâd be hard to believe some new problems wonât replace the existing ones - yet, thatâs the most likely scenario.

I agree â Unless " a " particular justice just decides itâs time to vent a little past frustration â Wouldnât put it past " him " â
Oh noes, this might cast a bad light on the Republican Party and their gargantuan efforts to win over their despised neighbors, Oh noes!
There are some Mexicans that vote ÂŽ and a few blacks-like 3 and I think they are all either current or past Presidential candidates, and a handful Asians, more women than I can believe and the same goes for the log cabin gays but the facts are, all of the vast majority of all of these groups despises the Repub Party with or without them adding in new hate.
The Democrats might as well keep pushing these issues in front of the Repubs, it gives them the opportunity to renew their racial biases and hone their lying skills.
Issue Executive order after executive order and let the Republicans go wild fighting them, even if we lose-we win and thatâs the shit.
The issue, from my understanding, really wonât be about immigration, but rather upon the Executive Branchâs ability to prioritize its workload and determine how to apply its resources, both of which have long standing precedents supporting the Presidentâs position.
And viewed through that prism, it makes it more difficult for conservatives to line up against this case, as they arenât tying Obamaâs hands in any meaningful way, but they ARE tying the hands of all future PresidentsâŚincluding republican ones.

This is exactly it. Thatâs why the administration is sure theyâll win this and why they agreed to allow the states to have a small delay under agreement Verilli wonât file a response.
I think this is true, but I donât think they care or have really considered it. The Republicans havenât been very good with the long game lately. They go for directly scored points NOW. We see this in how theyâve dealt with everything from the evangelicals to the tea party. Itâs all turning on the master, but it got them elections for a short while.
