WASHINGTON (AP) - Supreme Court decisions in a half-dozen cases dealing with immigration over the next two months could reveal how the justices might evaluate Trump administration actions on immigration, especially stepped up deportations. Some of those cases could be decided as early as Monday, when the court is meeting to issue opinions in cases that were argued over the past six months. The outcomes could indicate whether the justices are retreating from long-standing decisions that give the president and Congress great discretion in dealing with immigration, and what role administration policies, including the proposed ban on visits to the United States by residents of six majority Muslim countries, may play. President Donald Trump has pledged to increase deportations, particularly of people who have been convicted of crimes. But Supreme Court rulings in favor of the immigrants in the pending cases “could make his plans more difficult to realize,” said Christopher Hajec, director of litigation for the Immigration Reform Litigation Institute. The group generally supports the new administration’s immigration actions, including the travel ban.

Most Christians have left or were killed by Muslims. No matter what....that’s where our threats come from.
I am irritated by the view that says the executive branch needs permission by the judicial to ENFORCE the law.
Absurd.
Agreed. The Court has no enforcement means. Furthermore, this isn’t a Constitutional matter. It is a matter of law by a nation to protect its borders and culture.
All of this could be solved if congress had a spine. All they have to do is find the wall and increased enforcement plus cut funding for resettlement.
They could also declare immigration matters off limits for review
If it’s already a law then that means it’s been vetted by Congress. The SC will simply rule it’s within the Constitutional Framework or not. I think they’ll side 5-4 on all of these cases that enforcing current national laws is within the Trump’s Administrations power, that it’s legal and constitutional...

The 600 pound gorilla question in the room is this.
Just who does creat these laws if not the Congress and President?
The SCOTUS?
These folks better think long and hard on this one, and ge it right.
Congress and the President make the laws the SCOTUS MUST abide by.
End of story.
Since I’m a NeverTrumper, I would have preferred Eric Holder on the Supreme Court to Justice Gorsuch, since that meant that Hillary made the pick.
Yes, I know, Holder would have ruled against us once in a while, but the idea of Trump, THAT ANIMAL, ever taking office would have been much, much, worse.
