President Donald Trump on Wednesday said that should the U.S. Supreme Court rule that the Obama-era Deferred Action on Childhood Arrivals (DACA) is legal and can’t be dismantled by executive order, then he will have inherited a “scary” amount of power.
“If the Supreme Court rules that President Obama was wrong, which they should because… by the way, if he was right, then I’ve been given tremendous power,” Trump told reporters at the White House. “Can you imagine me having that power? Wouldn’t that be scary?”

Ah, but one set of rules for The Dear Leader and another for President Trump. /s
That is a warning to SCOTUS if there ever was one.
John Roberts is pro-illegal. He said as much during his own confirmation hearing, when someone asked him if U.S. taxpayers should pay for children of illegals’ education.
Trump is correct. The Obama era rule was a violation of the Constitutional separation of powers. That type of violation puts the republic at risk. This demonstrates how badly the Democrats were willing to subvert the Republic for their own purposes, and how dangerous that activity was.
One set of rules for liberals and another for Americans.
The same method that was used to create DACA (thin air) will then be available to POTUS to use for everything with a good precedent.
...demonrats..
No, the judges have ruled that what the administration actually did - arguing that DACA was unconstitutional - didn't hold water; all agree that a new EO saying simply the-policy-is-now-different would be within the executive's sphere of authority.
If you're frighted of what any POTUS may do, maybe think of how much power should be invested in the Executive branch in the first place?
It's funny this is when the leftists discover the beauty of separation of powers and dare I say it ... federalism ...
True, but with Roberts now being the new Leftist swing vote, this could go South easily. Roberts will just issue an opinion that Obama’s actions were a tax.
Sounds dumb huh. It as last time too.
Give 'em hell Mr. President.
Trump sure knows how to EF with Dem doesn’t he?-)
DJT plays 4-D chess while the Dims play tiddleywinks.
No wonder they are wetting themselves.
DACA has no basis in law.
Obama was correct that he does not have the authority.
If the GOP wasn’t on board the Cheap Labor Express they would have sued to stop this before it got started.
But they wanted any amnesty they could get to further the Bush Plan for North Mexico (aka USA).
DACA is an illegal program started illegally by an illegal President.
But since this Supreme Court blessed his usurpation, I expect them to uphold it.
What does it say about the Republicans who refused to sue to stop Obama?
So your position doesn’t hold water.
...and spreader bar with birds now deployed. Bring DemTunas to the top!
"Don't throw me into that briar patch!"
Dem's can't win on this one.
This is a man who understands that no one person - not even himself - should have too much power. That is as honest and incorruptible as they come...
...and yet, the Dems and the media (arm of the Dems) will continue to drone on and on about how immoral and power-crazed Trump is. Talk about projection!
