Federal Judge Overrules Trump on DACA

For John, BLUF:  Schumer wanted this shutdown.  It is just that he misjudged the audience.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

Federal Judge Blocks Trump From Ending DACA; Update: WH, Trump Slam Ruling

From Town Hall, by Reporter Leah Barkoukis, 10 January 2018.

Yes, I know this is about two weeks late to need, but given actions on Capitol Hill it is still timely.

Here is the lede:

A federal judge temporarily blocked the Trump administration from ending the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program on Tuesday, declaring that the Department of Homeland Security’s “decision to rescind DACA was based on a flawed legal premise."

Of course there is the question of how Executive Orders become law itself, immune from countermanding Presidential Executive Orders, thus circumventing the Constitutional role of the Congress.  I would think if needed we should pass a Constitutional Amendment to make this point clear.

And, if a federal judge ruled back son 10 January, kicking of a months long litigation, why are the Democrats so antsy to get legislation  The DACA situation is frozen in time.  The March deadline isn't real as long as the Federal Case hasn't been resolved.  So what is going on here?

Hat tip to the InstaPundit.
