Political Quotes

“today's decision from the U.S. Supreme Court in Department of Homeland Security v. Regents of the University of California is disgraceful. Judging is not a game. It is not supposed to be a game. But, sadly, over recent years, more and more Chief Justice Roberts has been playing games with the Court to achieve the policy outcomes he desires. This case concerned President Obama's Executive amnesty--amnesty that President Obama decreed directly contrary to Federal law. He did so with no legal authority. He did so in open defiance of Federal statutes. Of course, he was celebrated in the press for doing so. Obama's Executive amnesty was illegal the day it was issued and not one single Justice of the nine Supreme Court Justices disputed that-- not a one. Chief Justice Roberts wrote the majority opinion, joined by the four liberal Justices on the Court. This is becoming a pattern. The majority assumes that DACA--Obama's Executive amnesty--is illegal, and then bizarrely holds that the Trump administration can't stop implementing a policy that is illegal. Think about that for a second. In fact, it is even worse. The majority explicitly concede, of course, the administration can stop an illegal policy. ``All parties agree''--that is a quote--``all parties agree that DHS may rescind DACA.'' OK. Easy. Everyone agrees. DHS can rescind DACA. Right? Not so fast. A clever little twist. The majority says: Do you know what? The agency's legal explanation wasn't detailed enough.…”
