Supreme Court agrees to speed up Trump's DACA appeal

[libertybele]

Next 'showdown' is Feb. 8 and this isn't scheduled to be considered until Feb 16, my hunch is we'll see the govt shutdown again until the Supremes rule...and that will be the determining fate of DACA -- that way no side really gets blamed.  My second hunch is DACA is here to stay regardless of how the Supremes rule.

Supreme Court agrees to speed up Trump's DACA appeal

The Supreme Court is racing Congress to decide the future of the Dreamers.

The justices agreed Tuesday to decide quickly whether to hear the Trump administration's appeal of a federal district court's order to restart the DACA program without waiting for an appeals court ruling.

By setting up a fast track for both sides to submit court papers, the high court likely will consider the Justice Department's request at its Feb. 16 conference. If it decides to take the case, it could hear arguments in the spring.

That would set up a simultaneous decision-making process on the fate of some 690,000 young adults brought to the United States illegally by their parents under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program established by President Barack Obama in 2012.

President Trump announced in September that the program would end March 5 unless renewed by Congress. Since then, Democrats and Republicans have squabbled over the so-called Dreamers' fate along with other immigration and border security issues — most notably Trump's demand to build a wall along the Mexican border.

Not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing?

BINGO!!!

Love the way Trump, the GOP and the Oligarchy washed their hands of any responsibility and passed the buck off to SCOTUS to decide.

This way Trump can crow about his stance on Illegal Immigration while shrugging his shoulders and letting Obama's DACA policy be entrenched as permanent policy by the High Court.

Brilliant.

The swamp is resilient!

Yes the swamp is resilient -- look how much information is coming out about Clinton, the DOJ, and the FBI, yet absolutely no one is being held accountable or responsible.

Yeah sure, I might be all wet - but if there's anything to be cynical about - it's anything happening in D.C.

We all know that the GOP Establishment wants open borders as much as the Democrats do.  Congress is an absentee institution that simply now defers to the Courts or the Executive they have turned into a quasi-monarchy.

And no one will be, because the corruption is down to the roots of the foundation and is entrenched in the DNA of how the Alphabets work and operate.  Kill the corruption - you kill the institutions, and of course this was done by design.

So nothing will be done except toss up a few lambs to placate Joe Sixpack who might be irritated at what Fox News reports about it, but otherwise is more interested in beer, porn and football.

We have indeed become Rome in our own right.

Pretty much and I look for SCOTUS to rule in favor of the liberals just like they did with Bammycare and gay marriage.  Just maybe Gorsuch will save the day ... but I'm not holding my breath.

If that happens they will have gutted the executive branch and our constitution will have become not worth the paper it's printed on.

SCOTUS will do nothing here but tell this rouge judge that he needs to stop coloring outside the lines.  He has absolutely NO authority in this matter.

[To-Whose-Benefit?]

Well, there was the 100% Legal Ban on immigration from terrorist nations being ham strung 3 times, or was it 4, by Activist Robes?

I Suppose the President Could try just writing the DACAs out of town through EOs, but they're already here.

Shooting from the hip on this would smell as bad, politically (and we Are having another election) as what Schumer just got his nose rubbed in.

SCOTUS stood With the legality of banning Jihadis entry by EO.

I'm inclined to give them the benefit of the doubt here.
