Supreme Court: No Rehearing for Obama Immigration Policy

This is certainly disappointing. What does this mean for the future of DACA expanded/DAPA once a new president is elected?

Quote:

The U.S. Supreme Court Monday dashed the Obama administration's hopes that the justices would take another look at President Obama's immigration policy while he's still in office.

A one-line order denied a request to rehear the case once a ninth justice is confirmed to take the place of Antonin Scalia, who died in February.

Unable to reach a decision in June, the justices tied 4-4, leaving a lower court order intact that blocked the immigration plan from going into effect.

It would shield more than four million people from deportation. Texas and 25 other states sued after it was announced in 2014, claiming the president had no power to order the changes. But the court's tie prevented a decision on the merits of that claim.

In seeking rehearing — a chance to argue the same case over again — the Justice Department said the move would be consistent with historical practice and would reflect "the need for prompt and definitive resolution of this important case."

For now, the lawsuit filed by the states remains before a federal judge in Texas. Progress on the case was on hold while the request for rehearing was pending before the Supreme Court.

Also Monday, the justices declined to let the Washington Redskins make an end run around a federal appeals court in their trademark battle. The team's owner is challenging a court ruling that upheld the action of a federal agency which took away trademark protection for the team name.

The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office concluded that the name is disparaging to Native Americans. A federal appeals court is scheduled to hear oral argument in the case in December, but the Redskins were hoping they could bring their case directly to the justices.

The team may still get an answer from the Supreme Court, because it has agreed to hear another case that raises a similar issue. Asian-American musicians from Portland are challenging a decision from the same federal agency, which denied them a trademark for their dance-rock band, The Slants.

A federal law bars granting trademarks for terms considered offensive, but a lower court found that provision unconstitutional. If the Supreme Court upholds the ruling, it would essentially decide the legal issue in the Redskins case.

Basically nothing - DAPA/eDACE remain techincally alive (blocked but alive weird huh ) until the next president completly just decides to kills it. I doubt the big SC will ever again rehear it again. Hmmm I am not an expert but couldn't a judge from that court that blocked it revoked that the blockage ?

The only people singing and laughin are Chyno and 2FAces and even more if Trump wins the house. I doubt Hilary would continue to push for DAPA/eDACA but the chances of DACA being kept alive for another 4 years are better with her

When is the near chance? Before elections?

Hillary said she will implement it within 100 days in office.

I think after Hillary win and RNC has to do reflection it will state that their immigration position among low outreach of minorities was to big ... even if most uneducated white people who watch fox news would like to live in alternate reality ( Trump supporters)

Hillary will make us citizens. Then we can stick it to the repblicants.

Well, this is not unexpected. They don't want to decide this with an 8 member court. All we can do is wait...it's what we're best at.

There won't be a rehearing until there's a 9th member. Unless Kennedy were to change his mind this is really going nowhere. No point in granting rehearing to just get another 4-4 tie that determines nothing.

Scalia's heart did the right thing and stopped right before the ruling. 5-4 against us would've been bad.

Here you go, review the evidence yourself.

It exists, basically is a small dart made like ice and it leaves a red welt and a dead fat man. It isn't even complex to make. It's funny how people deem "special" equipment so big and complex, when in reality it's simple and effective. Why do you think there is no coroner's report? Yup. You got it right. I'm a little more in-tune with the inner machinations of the government. Everything is out there in some form, you just gotta pull the thread and like a cheap sweater things unravel.

You seriously don't think he just up and croaked due to natural causes LOL now thats funny. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
Ok Laughter over.
Scalia made himself an enemy of the state, or the state ended up not needing him anymore. When you're an enemy of the state you get assassinated in cold blood and nothing happens.

I can go on and on about people suddenly up and croaking

Nice young people.
