Split Supreme Court appears ready to allow Trump to end DACA
Mark Sherman, Associated Press Updated 12:31 am CST, Wednesday, November 13, 2019
WASHINGTON (AP) — Sharply at odds with liberal justices, the Supreme Court's conservative majority seemed ready Tuesday to allow the Trump administration to abolish protections that permit 660,000 immigrants to work in the U.S., free from the threat of deportation.
That outcome would "destroy lives," declared Justice Sonia Sotomayor, one the court's liberals who repeatedly suggested the administration has not adequately justified its decision to end the seven-year-old Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program. Nor has it taken sufficient account of the personal, economic and social disruption that might result, they said.
But there did not appear to be any support among the five conservatives for blocking the administration. The nine-member court's decision is expected by June, at the height of the 2020 presidential campaign.

Silly me. Here I thought the Supreme Court Justices were to vote on the law, not the outcomes. But "Justice Sotomayor has set the record straight on that. It appears the rule of law is becoming the rule of feelings. :judge:

Sotomayor meant to say this outcome would destroy the only lives she cares about.

Supreme Court leans toward Trump plan to end DACA program for nearly 700K illegal immigrants

The Supreme Court on Tuesday appeared likely to side with the Trump administration in its effort to end a program that lets nearly 700,000 undocumented immigrants live and work in the United States without fear of deportation.
During an extended, 80-minute oral argument inside a packed courtroom that included dozens of the threatened immigrants, several conservative justices said the Department of Homeland Security laid out sufficient reasons for its decision to rescind the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, program.
Associate Justice Neil Gorsuch acknowledged that the case’s “sympathetic facts … speak to all of us,†but he said the large number of people affected and the impact ending DACA would have on employers and entire communities was taken into consideration.
The question before the justices Tuesday was not whether the Trump administration can wind down the program, which is undisputed. Rather, they were asked to decide if the administration’s reason for doing so – that DACA was illegal from the start – was accurate and sufficient.
Beyond the reprieve the program provides for the DREAMers, the case is important for several legal, policy and political reasons:
• It represents a major separation-of-powers wrestling match between the executive and legislative branches of government.

I really wish everyone would stop pretending these rat immigration initiatives have anything to do with compassion and 'the American Dream' and just acknowledge that their true purpose is the eventual annihilation of the two political party system ala California.

Great news. I never get an answer from the left, when I use the term "illegal" when it pertains to those who are not lawfully in this country. For once, rule of law wins.
