One opinion today and it involves DACA recission. Chief Justice John Roberts has the opinion. It& #39;s a complicated one so we& #39;ll go through it in bits.
Here& #39;s the opinion

THIS IS GOOD NEWS
The decision by the Trump administration to rescind DACA is reviewable by the courts. And guess what? The Trump administration violated the law when it tried to rescind DACA

Excuse me while I take a second y& #39;all I am legitimately stunned by this news. I was braced for the Court blessing the bad-faith attempts to go after the legal status of around 700,000 DREAMERS
Okay back at it.
The decision to rescind DACA was arbitrary and capricious
YOU KNOW I LOVE THOSE WORDS LAW NERDS I TOLD YOU THE APA WAS SEXY AS HELL

This opinion lineup is wild.
Ginsburg, Breyer, and Kagan join with Roberts for the full opinion. Sotomayor joins for almost all of it except for Part IV. Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch and Kavanaugh concur in the judgment in part and dissent in part

Basically everyone had something to say about this case
This is a tremendous win there& #39;s no other way to categorize it!
It& #39;s gonna make Trump extra big mad too because the litigation was the product of Democratic Attorneys General, especially the AG Becerra from California

The majority says the decision to terminate DACA was not motivated by animus (basically racist motivations).
This is the part of the decision that Sotomayor does not join.

The tl;dr of this very complicated decision is that the Trump administration *can* rescind DACA if it wants but it has to follow the law when it does.
Which it did not do here.

SOCIAL DISTANCE HIGH FIVES EVERYONE WE GOT TWO GOOD DECISIONS THIS WEEK
Is there time for the Trump administration to try again before November? That& #39;s an excellent question and the one thing I& #39;ll say is I wouldn& #39;t put it past this administration to try.
Okay, @Hegemommy is out for now! Thanks for tuning in for another SWEATY SCOTUS MORNING
