(ZH) In a split ruling which will keep the program open to an estimated 1.3 million non-citizens, the justices said the Trump administration failed to adequately justify terminating the program. In other words - struck down on a technicality that the Trump administration can correct.

The Court decision is based on the Administrative Procedure Act, not equal protection, which means the Trump administration could go back and fix the mistake and undo DACA.

GRA: Or will Roberts come up with another excuse to keep DACA going?

--GRA

N.S.: GRA, your implication is dead-on. If Roberts is so weasely as to come up with that rationalization, he is capable of anything. Thus, we cannot honestly speak of a “conservative-leaning Supreme Court.” Either Roberts is being blackmailed, or he went over to the dark side out of opportunism.

We shouldn’t give up so easily. We should encourage Trump to ignore SCOTUS, and try to elect conservatives to Congress and impeach Roberts. And we should encourage investigation of Roberts. If we can learn why he is being blackmailed, perhaps he could be forced to resign. Granted, these things are unlikely, but this is the greatest country that has ever existed and if freedom falls here, it may never be recovered. We are all going to die anyway; let’s keep resisting the theft of our freedom until we expire.
