Judge rules Trump’s DACA phaseout legal
Washington Times, Mar 5, 2018, Stephen Dinan

A federal judge ruled Monday that President Trump’s phaseout of the Obama-era DACA program is legal, adding heft to the administration’s defense but doing little to solve the ongoing court quagmire.

The ruling does not overturn two other federal courts, who had previously blocked the phaseout, which was supposed to take effect Monday. But it does offer a needed boost as the Justice Department appeals those other two rulings.

Judge Titus went even further, praising the Trump administration for the way it handled the situation with a six-month phaseout.

“This decision took control of a pell-mell situation and provided Congress — the branch of government charged with determining immigration policy — an opportunity to remedy it. Given the reasonable belief that DACA was unlawful, the decision to wind down DACA in an orderly manner was rational,” the judge wrote.

Obama's legacy.  A mess in every category:  immigration, economy, religious freedom, education, healthcare, and on and on.

What's even scarier is the validation of it.  SCOTUS (specifically Roberts) shockingly decided healthcare was a tax and could require citizens pay for it.  Who knows what they'll do with DACA.

I disagree.  Circle gets the square.
