The Obama Administration is looking for a second bite at the apple, asking that the Supreme Court rehear a challenge to President Barack Obamas executive amnesty programs.
In a petition to the court, Acting Solicitor General Ian Gershengorn requested that the justices rehear the case once the seat of the late Justice Antonin Scalia is filled and the court stands at nine members.
Ordinarily, it is exceedingly rare for this Court to grant rehearing. But when this Court has conducted plenary review and then affirmed by vote of an equally divided court because of a vacancy rather than a disqualification, the Court has not infrequently granted rehearing before a full Bench, the Justice Departments petition reads.
The effort would put Texas and 25 states challenge to Obamas 2014 executive amnesty programs Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents (DAPA) and expanded Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) back on the courts to-do list.
Last month the eight justices currently on the Supreme Court divided on the matter, issuing a single sentence order The judgment is affirmed by an equally divided Court. The 4-4 decision left a lower courts ruling, blocking the executive amnesty programs, in tact.

By the time it gets heard the Scalia replacement will be in place.
What good is Supreme Court if it won’t rubber stamp a Democrat President’s one-person rule?

Roberts needs to say to OBuggery “Nyet”!!
I can’t wait until President Trump nominates William Pryor to the USSC.
The Lefty wailing and gnashing of teeth is going to be epic!
Where is this in the Constitution? The president can appeal a SCOTUS ruling? "Maybe you should rethink that since I ignored your last ruling."
I’m glad the MSM will be silent when President Trump ignores court ruling and does what he wants.
Obama has set the course clear. Executive Orders are the way to go now.
A one word reply would be appropriate. ‘Noted.’
every single day he races to destroy America, in every possible way
Decide whether a law was “constitutional” or not was never the intended operation of the court.
It gives them the final say-so (with no recourse) on every single law.
This traitor just wants to FLOOD AMERICA with undocumented Democrat voters like he is already doing. Total scumbag wrecking the American demographic for power and control.
He can’t say no. They have too much on his family, and he knows it. so i’ve read on the interweb.
Obama, the Left, DNC, desperate to get Hillary elected by illegals.
He’s paid someone off, or found a boy in someone’s closet.
I wonder if Zero is going to try to sneak through a “recess appointment”...
Not going to happen.
He sould know where all the toy boys are.
Do over? I thought that they only got one shot at it?
