Trump calls for 'new justices' after Supreme Court DACA ruling as Roberts draws conservatives' ire
President Trump, following his defeat Thursday at the Supreme Court in his quest to repeal the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, called for new justices as conservatives took aim at Chief Justice John Roberts for what they called a "pattern" of siding with the liberal wing in key decisions.
President Trump, following his defeat Thursday at the Supreme Court in his quest to repeal the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, called for new justices as conservatives took aim at Chief Justice John Roberts for what they called a "pattern" of siding with the liberal wing in key decisions.
“The recent Supreme Court decisions, not only on DACA, Sanctuary Cities, Census, and others, tell you only one thing, we need NEW JUSTICES of the Supreme Court. If the Radical Left Democrats assume power, your Second Amendment, Right to Life, Secure Borders, and ... Religious Liberty, among many other things, are OVER and GONE!” Trump tweeted.
The president went on to promise that he will release a “new list of Conservative Supreme Court Justice nominees, which may include some, or many of those already on the list, by September 1, 2020.”
On Thursday, the court ruled in a 5-4 decision penned by Roberts that Trump's reversal of former President Barack Obama’s executive order –¬ which shielded immigrants who came to the country illegally as children from deportation –¬ was in violation of the Administration Procedure Act (APA), which sets out rulemaking procedures for federal agencies.
While Democrats and immigration activists cheered the decision, conservatives fumed, accusing the justices of preventing Trump from overturning what they have long seen as an illegal executive order. Their ire ultimately turned to Roberts, a President George W. Bush appointee who has a history of siding with the liberal bloc.
It was Roberts who, by siding with the liberal wing and reinterpreting an individual mandate as a tax, allowed ObamaCare to be found constitutional in 2012. Last year, he joined with the wing again in shutting down Trump’s efforts to add a citizenship question to the census. Click here for more on our top story.
