9th Circuit Schedules DACA Termination Case for May - Page 2

Shiit.

I renewed in September 2017 but with this news I'm sending in another renewal ASAP.

Well if it is terminated, there will once again be another opportunity to pass something temporary or permanently before the election. The next budget deadline will be October 2, 2018

Just be glad it's the 9th Circuit and not the 5th.

I doubt it will be terminated; SCOTUS will review it.

No matter what is the outcome, this should go to SCOTUS

Both sides should appeal unfavorable ruling

If 9th circuit is friendly to us, why would they accept to fast track this case?

I actually believe the total opposite. There will probably be no opportunity to pass anything as long as this administration is in. These are my reasons for this:

1. Democrats will balk at anything this administration proposes that does not align with a progressive value

2. There is no reason for Democrats to tackle major legislation if there could be a possibl change in majority just a month away....why mess with that? They will have the belief they can get a better deal after elections

3. The Democrats message is to resonate with frustration. The center of that frustration is the current President, and the message is "Elect us to be a check and balance on the current administration!"

4. Democrats may not say it...but they will believe any new majority they are given they have an impetus to check the President's power....and if possible violations have accrued by their stands...even impeachment proceedings.

Bottom line, we are looking at another divided government...where partisanship is king. Major legislation technically cannot survive that unless there is reasonable balance.

4.

Well I guess I should stop procrastinating on sending that renewal app. My EAD expires mid October.

So you’re predicting if this thing is on the verge of being terminated by the Supreme Court, not even a temporary fix will be able to pass next year?

It was at SCOTUS’ request they expedite the hearing. That doesn’t mean they will come to a conclusion in May
