[U] Yawn. Any Final Decision Will Be Months Away -- But Trump Is Taking Appeals On Two Fronts, On DACA Injunction...


I promised yesterday, early in the morning (actually, very late on Sunday night, truth told) to keep an eye on the DACA advice I've given.

Mr. Trump's moves today. . . do not change that advice. If you are due to renew -- go renew.

45's lawyers said this afternoon, that in addition to the appeal they've made to the Ninth Circuit (good luck with that, boys!), Mr. Trump will also take a so-called interlocutory direct appeal/petition to the US Supreme Court.

Y A W N. . . .

My recommendation stands. [Significantly, the administration's lawyers did not seek a stay of the injunction from either reviewing court, so the current iteration of DACA will be the law, for at least three more months, minimum.]

Get in and renew -- prevent any lapse from occurring, and you will have a continuing (arguable) property-, and absolutely clear liberty- interest, by timely preserving your status, on your deferral papers.

In sum -- march onward, dreamers -- free of fear. At the moment, it is "snowy, dark and deep" out there, but in the courtroom (Supreme or otherwise) it is not the loudest voice that matters -- it is the Constitution. And you will be in good stead. The deferral was shored up in 2012 and 2014, by an excellent (if former) Constitutional Law professor from the University of Chicago. His name? Barack Obama. 45 -- meet your betters -- in every imaginable way -- meet. . . 44.
