The justices' one-sentence opinion on Thursday effectively kills the plan for the rest of Obama's presidency. The outcome underscores that the direction of U.S. immigration policy will be determined in large part by this fall's presidential election, a campaign in which immigration already has played an outsized role. (The title of the article is all caps. No court below SCOTUS ruled in the government's favor).
If they are truly supposed to uphold the interpretation of the laws, it should have been a unanimous 8-0 against Obama's executive order. This is why it scares the shit out of me that Hillary could win POTUS. Appointing 1-4 new SCOTUS could destroy the very fabric of our freedom.
