Everything we thought we knew 24 hour ago on the talks regarding the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program may have just been scrambled. (And to be perfectly clear, clarity was not something that existed Tuesday, contrary to the positive sentiment post White House meeting.)
Trump's image rehabilitation show
The reason is the district court ruling blocking the Trump administration's wind-down of the DACA program. Republicans now have a reason to push the DACA talks off -- and to underscore this idea, I've already heard from several GOP aides saying the ruling should mean Democrats should decouple from the spending bill negotiations.
Now, Democrats face the possibility of pushing the government toward a shutdown when the rationale -- and real urgency -- on the issue doesn't technically exist
(more on this below.)

Is this opinion? The WH statement and statements from Dems and Reps alike are saying otherwise.

Yeah this is BS. I haven't heard from most people including senators like John Cornyn.

You also can't overstate the pressure that's on Democratic leadership right now -- and the high-wire act Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi have trying to navigate their respective caucuses on this. This is something they can't budge on anymore. The activist pressure is enormous. The internal caucus pressure is enormous. Don't expect them to back down any time soon

Then this article twists it differently:

Quote:
Lawmakers from both parties insisted Wednesday that they're still racing to reach a deal on Dreamers — despite a court ruling the night before temporarily reinstating the immigration program that President Donald Trump is trying to shut down.
Quote:
It doesn’t change the need for us to act,” said Senate Majority Whip John Cornyn (R-Texas). “I don’t think it relieves the anxiety of the DACA recipients that something is gonna happen. It really just adds additional uncertainty, I think, into the mix. So we’re plowing ahead like we discussed yesterday at the White House.”

Cornyn asked if would see legislation on floor by Jan 19th: “My guess is given the complexity of writing the language and that sort of thing, it’s probably more of an agreement by then not necessarily floor action by the 19th.” @AlexNBCNews
