Breaking: Supreme Court refuses to hear Trump challenge on DACA
The Hill ^ | 02/26/2018 | Lydia Wheeler and Rafael Bernal

Posted on 02/26/2018 6:40:20 AM PST by GIdget2004

The Supreme Court on Monday delivered a blow to the Trump administration by refusing to hear the government's challenge to a lower court ruling that has temporarily blocked the administration from winding down the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.

The Department of Justice’s request was rare in that it asked the Supreme Court to jump ahead of the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in reviewing the case.

The court typically will only bypass an appellate court when there’s an emergency involving foreign affairs, a serious separation of powers concerns or when it has already agreed to hear another case dealing with the same question.

ARE they refusing to hear the case AHEAD of the Appellate Court? Or are they refusing to hear it at all?

Obama only wrote an EO. That isn’t written in stone. ANY president can reverse it.

No, short of some other intervention—DACA lives beyond March 5th.

Isn't Mar 5 the date the mechanism for extending the dreamers stay ends ? Even if the mechanism stays in place what's to stop them from just not granting the extensions ? It seems to be just an administrative thing. Kind of like the visa brouhaha, if a visa isn't granted for any reason it stops legal entry, the same way if a DACA extension isn't granted then it's deport time.

Are you confusing 2 immigration issues, DACA and the travel ban?

No sure what countries you are referring to in referencing DACA???

This just seems SO f***ed up.

The alleged former president wrote an EO to bypass Congress and suspend (repeal) longstanding, valid law.

The current president put a sunset on the invalid EO.

One effing unelected appointed-for-life federal pissant judge says NO to the current president.

The president appeals to the SCOTUS, which then refuses to hear this OBVIOUS Constitutional question.

WTF am I missing here? Once again, the Constitution means squat.

(So much for that “leader of the free world” BS, huh? As long as the left can find a sympathetic judge, our president can’t take a sh*t on his own.)

You know what. Why not just leave DACA in place? Only 800,000 covered and law allows only certain age groups before a certain date. No path to citizenship. Trump should allow no discussion on immigration until the courts address the matter. The SC DID NOT rule on the constitutionality of the EO only that it wont hear the matter until the 9th circuit appeal.

A blow”? Puleeeze.

I’m not surprised the USSC did this. In the end, it doesn’t change much. DACA is over. It’s just a matter of the exact end date now.

So the SCOTUS simply refused to jump in until the appeals court has had its say.
******************************************************
And you can bet your bippy that the 9th Circuit will now take their sweet time to hear and decide on the issue.

My understanding is that a lower kangaroo court told Trump he couldn’t end the program on the 5th. The SC refused to hear it at this point, though that is fairly to be expected given the nature of it, and asked the lower court of appeals to move expeditiously on it.

But not only am I not an attorney, I don’t play one on TV or elsewhere either.

Chief Justice ultimately decides what case will be reviewed - Bloody John Roberts strikes again?

No, Roberts has exactly one vote - just like the other eight.

My solution, impose a Presidential EO staying the Judicial decision and make them take it to the SCOTUS.

Their infringement is an open invitation to infringe on them.

OK play their procedural game. Take it to the 9th and then take to the Supremes.

Pappy Francis of Rome wins, Roberts is working for sainthood. The devil in the details, we the people, are funding Rome’s human trafficking.

So Trump’s fastest recourse may simply be to go through the procedural steps... provide notice, etc.... to formally allow DACA to expire? I would have thought that since everybody knows the March 5 date that this would have been sufficient notice in and of itself.

I’m hoping he lets this play out for a while, then issues his own EO to rid us of ILLEGAL, UNCONSTITUTIONAL, UNETHICAL 0bama-induced DACA!

MAGA!

The fix is in. Whatever God has chosen Pres. Trump to do, it does not seem to be ending open borders.

Again, I’m no expert. But I believe the lower court has disallowed Trump’s original move to end DACA on March 5th.

Sort of like the lower courts who kept disallowing his temporary, selective ban on immigrants from certain countries who couldn’t/wouldn’t verify the background of those seeking entry to the US.
