The Justice Department said in court Wednesday that Attorney General Jeff Sessions made an error in his memo laying out the legal problems with the Obama-era DACA program, as a federal judge repeatedly blasted the Trump administration for weak reasoning in revoking the deportation amnesty.
Government lawyers say the error isnt enough to sink their case, arguing Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program is unlawful and the risks of trying to defend it in court were enough to justify the six-month phase out the acting Homeland Security secretary initiated last year.

I still do not understand how the Courts are involved in an Executive decision to rescind an Executive Order?

It was an executive order. Simply repeal it. No “excuses” needed.

Reasoning doesnt matter.
If the president put it in effect, it can be unilaterally undone.

I am about to recommend mass disobedience until we get Mr. Magoo out of office. He is killing Trump!! Absolutely killing him. The question is — does Trump have any cajones?

Atty General Jeff Sessions made an error?
Fitting, as an error made Jeff Sessions AG.

When is Trump going to grow a set of balls and fire Mueller, Rosenstein and Sessions? All three are swamp critters, at least two of them are corrupt and one is at least utterly incompetent and a pussy!Trump is cleaning house closer to home...Hopefully they are on the short list...

DACA is flat out unconstitutional. It purposefully evades actual law. Throw it out that simply, Jerry.

Jeff Sessions has been AG for 1 year, 1 month, 6 days. Correction. Jeff Sessions was AG for 76 days. Rosenstein has been AG for 324 days.

Sessions really needs to recuse himself from doing any government sh*t.
To: eyeamok
You can say that again.
The USA appears to have lost its way and I’m not sure 8 years of Trump can save her.
To: detective
Sessions is figuring out that the hawk’s eyes are laser fixed on him.
His pink slip has arrived and he is seeing it in his every Magoo going straight to front page news.
Paybacks are hell!
He is being invited to resign. One more time.
He hasn’t time to make up, or hope to make up for his disastrous Queensbury loving reFusal, on DAY 2 no less, of his arrival at Justice.

Maybe he will recuse himself from the job completely if not already done.
Swamp draining is way behind schedule.

Not here.
He got confirmed because they knew he would recuse.

Sessions is beyond incompetent. Wrong man for the job and should be rightly replaced with someone who can do the frakin’ job that needs to be done: headhunting and putting Obama-ites in jail.
