WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court ruled Thursday that the Trump administration’s may not immediately proceed with its plan to end a program protecting about 700,000 young immigrants known as Dreamers from deportation.

Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. wrote the majority opinion, joined by the court’s four more liberal members.

The court’s ruling was a blow to one of President Trump’s central campaign promises — that as president he would “immediately terminate” an executive order by former President Barack Obama that Mr. Trump had called an illegal executive amnesty for hundreds of thousands of young immigrants.

1. I wonder if they are thinking ahead... to later deny Biden the right to undo T's exec orders.

2. As long as Bidens executive order provides as a real justification he should be fine.

Trump on the other hand had no real justification other than being a giant prick.

3. Oh my

It is starting to feel too good to be true.
I've thought they're just getting us relaxed, thinking that when they try to do the first steps of Roe v Wade reversal (the one thing that keeps a portion of his base loyal) that we just won't notice.

4. I think that Roberts is looking at how the law history books are going to be judging him.

5. I agree. I don't think he wants the court with his name on it

to be seen as hyperpartisan. Either that or he's morphing into another Earl Warren, which is unlikely - but it would be awesome.

7. When the 'breaking news' came across the tv

I was hoping it was "Trump chokes on a Big Mac" but this is almost as good.

8. About John Roberts

When he was nominated to the Supremes, liberals everywhere were worried. But I heard from sources at the ACLU, people who had clerked with Roberts and knew him well, that he was actually a good guy and that we should not be too worried. It turns out they were right.
