My guess is that Kennedy, Thomas, and Alito are going to vote to uphold the ruling, while the four libs are going to vote to reverse it, with Roberts voting to throw the whole thing out on the issue of standing (thus siding with the libs in effect).
The lower court has not even decided the merits or the standing. The PI is only for putting the issues on hold until they rule.
It is not normal that SCOTUS would review a PI when a lower court has not yet heard the case.
In effect SCOTUS is threatening to dismiss the case without letting a lower court to even hear the case. That’s not the role of SCOTUS.
The PI does not compel deportations, it simply temporarily suspends Obama from amnestizing millions of illegals while the case is heard. The illegals are left in the same status they are now, illegal and subject to deportation, just as they have always been. The PI does not order Obama to deport illegals.
Obama wants immediate citizenship for 11 million illegals so they can vote in November for democrats. This is accomplished by Executive Amnesty and coaching illegals to answer ‘yes’ on the application when asked if they have been in the United States longer than 5 years.
In effect, SCOTUS holds the outcome of the 2016 election in their hands.
