The Supreme Court heard oral argument today in the case challenging President Trumps decision to shut down the DACA program, established by President Obama, that allows undocumented young adults who came to the United States as children to apply for protection from deportation. Obama had said that, because he is not a king, he lacked the power to institute this kind of program. Frustrated, though, by Congresss inactivity, Obama eventually played the part of king and established DACA.
The Trump administration reversed Obamas program after Attorney General Sessions concluded, correctly, that it was effectuated . . . without proper statutory authority. The legality of the administrations decision seems obvious. There should be no legal problem when an administration shuts down a program adopted its predecessor that unconstitutionally expands presidential power.
The real question, though, is not whether President Trump acted lawfully. The real question is whether the four left-liberal Justices will be joined by a fifth Justice in asserting that Trump violated the law.
Moreover, Roberts was among the several Justices who suggested there was little point in sending the decision to end DACA back to the administration to clean up alleged technical deficiencies, given the Trump administrations commitment to ending the program.
The usual caveat applies one cant always tell from the questions and comments of a judge how he or she will vote. The caveat applies in spades to Chief Justice Roberts.
However, I think its fair to say, as NBC News does, that the Supreme Court seems inclined to allow Trump to end the DACA program.
