        Here's @ZoeTillman on DOJ's DACA move (more of an announcement of a move) today —>https://twitter.com/ZoeTillman/status/953350846514900992 …

        A question now is whether DOJ is going to make a generalized request for cert before judgment because of the importance of the case — or take direct aim at the 9th Circuit in its cert petition.

        The problem with making a generalized request is that it would be easy for the court to just push it back to the 9th Circuit, telling DOJ the justices want further development of the issues before they take it on.

        Obviously, the other side, taking direct aim at the 9th Circuit would be highly unusual — and not something that I see the Chief Justice or Kennedy (at the least) appreciating.

        When in doubt, go to Gorsuch. He's as corrupt as the rest of the GOP, so he'll roll on us.

        Wouldn't SCOTUS just slap that effort down and send them to 9th circuit first?

        So the President who so desperately wants to save DACA is going to court to make sure his order terminating DACA stands.

        A double-dog-dare. What else was there but a “triple dare you”? And then, the coup de grace of all dares, the sinister triple-dog-dare. Narrator (Ralphie as an adult): Schwartz created a slight breach of etiquette by skipping the triple dare and going right for the throat!

        Huge effort to eliminate the DACA protection.... How do people learn to “hate” this much?

        I've always believed that you are taught hate from parents or guardian's but after a year of this administration and Trump I'm starting to feel like you can grow to hate or at least despise someone cause I'm really beginning to feel that I despise this whole freaking Admin.

        Yes, and then they would appeal up to SCOTUS anyway. They want to speed it up because they can’t wait to deport Brown people fast enough. Gotta break up more families, you know?
