Supreme Court Rejects Trump Effort To End DACA | Talking Points Memo

I’ve met Dreamers. They’re American in everything but their permanent legal status. It would be the height of cruel stupidity to throw them out, which is why it’s a signature Trump thing, but now they’re staying home. And again Roberts, while no prize, puts a middle finger in Trump’s face.

So, Roberts is planning to kill abortion, just giving a few head-fake decisions before twisting the knife.

When will the Trump tax cases be decided? In the next week? That vote will be interesting.

I know of at least a couple of students of mine, and/or their families, who . . . I can’t even imagine their joy and relief.

" 27,000 healthcare workers, nurses, doctors, therapists, etc would be immediately subject to deportation proceedings. In the midst of a pandemic."

That would be beyond cutting off your nose to spite your face.

And another reason to get out and VOTE !

Roberts decided DACA’s good for business (which it is) and not a fight he particularly wants the court to get into just now.

Based on these two decisions, I’m gonna go out on a limb and predict the survival of the ACA (assuming the court doesn’t get another Trump appointee, heaven help us).

Think about it. Republicans are genuinely upset and saddened when they’re forced to treat the LGBT community and immigrants fairly, equally, and with compassion. Having to do so truly mystifies them.

“Rejects Trump Effort” is all that happened. SCOTUS is trying to have it both ways - allowing DACA to continue while encouraging efforts to end it. DACA s are still without real protection. Looks like election year shenanigans to me.

The decision says they failed to provide the necessary “reasoned judgment” for the action. If SCOYUS is going to ask for reasoned judgment that is bad news for Trump. I wonder if “Bolton is a stupid head” qualifies as reasoned.

Back in 2015, when I had some work, I did some feature stories on 2 of these DACA kids. One 15-yr old girl – lived with her grandpa, was getting her AA and high school diploma at the same time and getting straight A’s.

I do want to know about our president’s health, but…I don’t know if I needed to know that.

Roberts sent it back to DHS. Zoe Tillman has the decision.

Roberts writes the 5-4 decision: "Here the agency failed to consider the conspicuous issues of whether to retain forbearance and what if anything to do about the hardship to DACA recipients." The case is remanded back to DHS "so that it may consider the problem anew." pic.twitter.com/vj8Zp43n7N

This has not been a good week for Trump and conservatives at the Supreme Court.

Homeland Security can try again and will. We really need a permanent legislative solution.

Unbelievable, 2 in one week. Seems like one/two of the Supremes are woke.

I did a feature story a few years before that about an educational program for immigrants, and the head of it said the Mexican parents, including the dads, were very engaged in helping the kids succeed.
