The ruling today bans the president from issuing an executive order to stop an executive order from a prior president, even one that was illegal. If SCOTUS likes an EO from one president, it can never be overturned. They are replacing the Constitution with themselves.
The President can write another executive order or appeal. It’s an election year and who knows if he will do it.
According to SCOTUS, the Obama Administration could start the program by executive action, but the Trump administration can’t rescind it by executive action.
Justice Clarence Thomas wrote about the decision, “Under the auspices of today’s decision, administrations can bind their successors by unlawfully adopting significant legal changes through Executive Branch agency memoranda.”
He wrote further, “Today’s decision must be recognized for what it is: an effort to avoid a politically controversial but legally correct decision. The Court could have made clear that the solution respondents seek must come from the Legislative Branch, Instead, the majority had decided to prolong DHS’ initial overreach by providing a stopgap measure of its own. In doing so, it has given the green light for future political battles to be fought in this Court rather than where they belong — the political branches. Such timidity forsakes the Court’s duty to apply the law according to neutral principles, and the ripple effects of the majority’s error will be felt throughout our system of self-government.”

Roberts probably hates Trump but appears to now be a left-winger.
Do you get the impression that the Supreme Court doesn’t like me?

Mark Levin is referencing the fact that the Supreme Court is legislating from the bench and they are allowing lawless executive orders to become law.
This week the Supreme Court did more damage to the rule of law and the Constitution than the rioters in the streets.

Our Second Amendment could be next. Ammoland reports that Chief Justice Roberts appears to be reluctant to restore our Second Amendment rights.
From the moment Alan Gottlieb, founder and executive vice president of the Second Amendment Foundation, said in a prepared statement following the Supreme Court’s rejection of ten pending gun rights cases, that responsibility for this high court two-step “falls squarely at the feet of Chief Justice John Roberts,” the question that must be answered is this:
“Is the chief justice of the U.S. Supreme Court afraid of restoring the Second Amendment to apply equally to all citizens?” It is beginning to appear that way.
The National Rifle Association issued a statement: “The Bill of Rights specifically includes the right to keep and bear arms because self-defense is fundamental to the liberty of a free society. Today’s inaction continues to allow so-called gun safety politicians to trample on the freedom and security of law-abiding citizens. This fight is not over for the NRA.”
Chief Justice Roberts does it again.
First, Obamacare. Now, DACA.
What’s next?
Our second amendment gun rights?

We veterans give various reasons why we are willing tp put our life on the line. We fight for the Republic which limits government power over the people and gives us our guaranteed Rights as per the Constitution and Bill of Rights. We fight for the Democracy which lets us elect our leaders, and makes this a government of the people. But today, we have a Supreme Court that sees our Constitution and Bill of Rights as mere suggestions to be ignored at will. We have Governors like Michigan’s Gretchen Whitmer who see our right to vote being equal to Junk Mail, as she mails us all an unexpected single page document, allowing the recipient to not only request an Absentee Voter ballot in MY NAME, but to allow them designate an address different from mine to which it is to be sent. The reasons we fight to defend this nation are being removed from this nation piece by piece. That should make every American very nervous regarding our future.
How about those RINO senators, they run the senate, they support illegal immigration, they certainly will clal ZERO hearings on this matter.
With faithless Roberts as swing voter n the court, and since his inclinations appear anything BUT conservative, I suspect our God-given, inalienable right to bear arms is also in judicial jeopardy. I also do not foresee one of the most unconstitutional opinions in our nation’s history, that being the now notorious Roe v Wade, to be overturned, certainly not while Progressive-leaning Roberts squats at the Supreme Court. As long as members of America’s answer to the Delphic Oracle, aka SCOTUS, choose to make law and choose to remain faithless social warriors, then this republic will continue to careen off track into self-destruciton. Rule by Law v Rule by Emotion and Mobs.
With the SCOTUS ruling how can one President end or modify ANY Executive Order from previous Presidents. Was it lawful for President Trump to modify previous Orders such as on February 9, 2017 Trump issued Executive Order 13775 which changed the DOJ’s order of succession from Obama’s. Shouldn’t this also be unlawful.
I haven’t read through all the documents but as I understand it the Court is, once again, using the burden of the Administration Act of 1946 in making their decision. This is similar to Roberts changing the wording of a statute in order to rule Obamacare meet Constitutional requirements. It is taking Administrative Law to a level of the absurd.
