I do not understand how this Supreme Court arbitrarily decides which policies the executive branch can carry out and which they can’t. This is such clear partisan hypocrisy on their part. If a Republican politician puts in place a policy, a Democratic president cannot cease to use it unless the court signs off? This isn’t just legislating from the bench, it’s exercising Executive/Presidential power from it. Effectively six Supreme Court justices have all but replaced the president.

Genuine question: How many people felt the exact same way when the Supreme Court said that Trump couldn't end DACA, which was itself an executive policy they said he couldn't end?

You could argue that even if you agreed with the outcome, it set a precedent for more meddling. But that’s actually an invalid argument because the Supreme Court doesn’t care about precedent and is just seeing how much it can get away with regardless.

yeah but that ruling was mostly because Trump and his admin are incompetent boobs and f8cked up procedure not because of any attempt to protect DACA. if they had done the right leg work, DACA would be gone

Well that decision also served conservative interests. Businesses wouldn’t lose workers, GOP politicians didn’t have to pass any reforms and Trump didn’t have to deport a ton of Dreamers, which would have been terrible press. I’m sure Trump was elated he didn’t have to carry out that campaign promise.

As soon as Congress DOES THEIR F%#@^NG JOB and creates actual legislation surrounding the immigration issues, the courts are free to make their own interpretations.

I am not against immigration but I think the whole "asylum" issue is a joke and that 90% plus of people coming in the southern border are simple economic migrants that will never qualify for asylum, and so I am glad Title 42 was extended. And to pretend that the courts and/or legislature actually spell out the real reason for their decision is beyond naive.

but if Congress did its job, Republicans would have one less thing to fear monger about during election cycles. the GOP will never let that happen since their fear of non-whites, education, being nice to people are like 90% of their platform
