Not necessarily. The Supreme Court has been somewhat decent on sep of powers and reigning in Executive creep and overreach by Obama. There have been a good number of 9-0 decisions that have quietly flown under the radar.
From your lips to Gods’ ears. ANYTHING Obama wants, Obama gets. Don’t you think it curious?
True, but my question is why take the case when Texas already slapped him down. Shouldn't have they simply let the lower court stand?
Unless they are so fed up with OTrauma, liberals included, they wanted to slap him personally?
Leaving it up the president to enforce the laws as he see fit runs the risk of taking the SC out of the loop.
If the president can decide what the law means there is no need for a SC to interpret the meaning of the law.
I’m with you, I doubt the SC is going to declare themselves irrelevant.

This one can really go either way because of the Court makeup. No way to predict it. We know what the four A-holes will do. Kennedy and Roberts? Yikes. And if they focus on the executive order I worry that even Scalia might defect. Just no way to predict success. But it's possible.
Very surprised they are scheduling a big one in a high profile election year. This one *will* impact the election and during those last few critical months. Wow.
Let's look at the bright side and envision a win-win. If they support Barry again, the voters will be pissed, Trump gets a mighty sword of righteous indignation to slice through the competition and drum up popular support for a mandate for fundamental change.
If they smoke Barry, it will likely create irresistible momentum for the wall, stopping refugees, it sends a message to Ryan to drop the wussiecrat apology schtick and get it together and all subsequent actions like naturalization reform or a moratorium comes into play. I do like this option better.
Either way Trump has a long head start now to prepare for each possible outcome and prepare two plans covering each scenario. That is the kind of thing he does in real life.
