Administration's request for expedited hearing declined 

The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday declined to hear the Trump administration's appeal of a federal judge's ruling that requires the government to keep the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program going.

The court's denial was expected, because the justices rarely accept appeals asking them to bypass the lower courts.

The Justice Department said it would contest that ruling before the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in California. But government lawyers also asked the Supreme Court to take the highly unusual step of agreeing to hear the case, bypassing the appeals court.

The Supreme Court has agreed only about a dozen times in the past century to immediately take a case and bypass the federal appeals courts, and those case usually involve a national emergency, such as nationwide strikes in the steel and coal industries.

So the reality of this is that the Administration's plea to bypass the 9th circuit court and have the USSC move ahead with an expedited hearing was not expected to succeed. There is no reason to believe that the USSC will not hear the case should the 9th circuit court actually agree with the lower court decision.

The count rendered absolutely no opinion on the merits of the case.

By almost all legal accounts, the Administration is expected to eventually win the court case.  There is little merit to the idea that an executive action by one President would be legal because a District Judge agreed with the reasoning, while the executive action by a different President on the same topic is illegal because a District Judge did not agree with the reasoning for it. There is no legal precedent for any law or executive action to be "justified" to a District Judge before taking place.

If anyone truly expected the Courts to be able to overrule the President on this issue in the long run, then Democrats in Congress would not have been negotiating for a legislative fix for the issue.
