Trump's so-called 'legal case' against DACA is nonsense.

As Justice Robert Jackson famously wrote in Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co. v. Sawyer, when the President acts pursuant to an express or implied authorization of Congress, his authority is at its maximum, for it includes all that he possesses in his own right plus all that Congress can delegate.

Should a presidential action be held unconstitutional under these circumstances, “it usually means that the Federal Government as an undivided whole lacks power” to act as the president wishes to act.

No one seriously argues that the federal government as a whole does not have the power to permit certain undocumented immigrants to live and work in the country. Indeed, if the federal government did not have this power, it is unclear how we could have any immigration policy at all.

The Supreme Court determines what is or is not constitutional, not the Keebler elf.
