Supreme Court BLOCKS Trump from Ending DACA
The Supreme Court has ruled against Donald Trump’s dismantling of the program DACA — Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals. DACA began under the Obama administration as a way for people who were brought to the United States illegally as children to be shielded from deportation. Importantly, the court has not ruled on the constitutionality of DACA itself, but rather found the the argument Trump and his lawyers made for canceling the program was not good enough. Once again with Trump, a failure has resulted from his sheer incompetence, but he will likely try to end the program once again, perhaps with more convincing arguments next time.
The left has had two major victories in the Supreme Court in the last week — expanding LGBT rights and protecting DACA recipients. Luckily in these cases, a conservative justice or two flipped to give the majority to the liberals. If Trump wins a second term and gets to replace either or both left-wing Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Stephen Breyer, these favorable rulings will become fewer and farther between.
As Coronavirus Rages, Trump Claims It's "Dying Out"
Donald Trump is arguing that the coronavirus is effectively over. He barely ever discusses the topic nowadays unless it’s about reopening or the jobs. Tomorrow, Trump will go back to hosting large campaign rallies, which Dr. Fauci has advised against. Trump is acting though everything is back to normal despite coronavirus caseloads increasing in 22 states, including Oklahoma where Trump is holding the rally. While other countries that got hit hard in the early stages have seen their case rates plummet, the United States is still regularly getting about 20,000 new coronavirus cases per day.
Donald Trump is relying on the notion that the virus will eventually go away as justification for “letting it rip.” Of course, it is technically true that the virus will eventually go away. But in order to reach herd immunity without a vaccine, a huge portion of the population has to get the disease, and many would die. It’s hard to believe the strategy of ignoring the virus altogether will help Trump win reelection in November.
On yesterday’s show:
John Bolton is a Traitor
As we learn more about the claims John Bolton is making against Donald Trump, it is becoming increasingly clear that Bolton is a traitor to the United States for not telling us sooner. Bolton had an opportunity to testify against Trump in the impeachment trial. Waiting seven months to reveal Trump’s horrible activity as President is inexcusable. Bolton said Trump okayed concentration camps in China and tried to get political favors from China, among other things. Assuming Bolton is telling the truth here, which he most likely is, Bolton did a disservice to the country by not speaking up about it sooner.
