Discussion: Supreme Court Rejects Trump Admin Petition To Terminate DACA Program

[boidster]

U.S. District Judge William Alsup…wrote in January that it is “plausible” that “racial animus against people south of our border” motivated the administration to rescind the program’s protections

Other things which are plausible:

• Water is wet
• Gravity causes things to fall to earth
• Bear poop in woods is caused by bears pooping

Then he’ll tell them to turn off that lamp that serves as a beacon of hope to those across the seas.

The Keebler Elf also got burned by the 2nd Circuit today as well. That appeals court (en banc) ruled that the Civil Rights Act of 1964 covers sexual orientation in workplace discrimination cases… something the Trump EEOC and Justice Department have rolled back.

SCOTUS doesn’t make a habit of overturning en banc rulings.
And the 2nd circuit isn’t the most liberal, either.

arbitrarily and capriciously

That’s Donald.

2nd & 4th have ruled the same way. 11th ruled against… so there is conflict to be resolved.
