"I basically have expected this all along, because my assumption right from the start was that when they filed the initial DAPA litigation that they made a strategic decision not to include DACA in their complaint because DACA was too popular a program," said Stephen Legomsky, a law professor at Washington University who worked for the Obama administration when DACA was instituted and again during the litigation over DAPA. "I suspected they wanted to get Hanen to declare DAPA was unconstitutional and then use that as precedent."

"Texas is suing Trump to make him rescind a policy he actually wants to rescind, but there are judges saying he can't ... this is why I get these phone calls," Blackman said.
