Wasting Away in Chuckschumerland

I must say I paid more attention this week to the continued unfolding of the Obama-Clinton "Russian collusion" poppycock, which seems to be coming to a certain closure with the investigative results made public and the consequent removal and prosecution of a number of high-ranking former and present officials.  In the meantime, Chuck Schumer, whose surname (per ancestry.com) is "a nickname from Middle Low German 'good-for-nothing,' 'vagabond,'" revealed how aptly he is named.

In fact, the Democrats' government shutdown gimmickry reminds me of nothing so much as the scene in the movie Animal House where Eric "Otter" Stratton offers up the notion that the situation absolutely requires a "futile and useless gesture, and we're just the guys to do it."

Here's the background.

A. DACA

Congress has never passed a law respecting what should be done with the people who entered the U.S. illegally as minors and stayed on illegally.  In June 2012, by administrative decree, the Obama administration offered a renewable two-year deferred deportation action for people in this situation.  This program is known as DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals).  The estimates of people involved ranges broadly from 800,000 to over 3 million.

In September of this year, the president rescinded this program.  The regents of the University of California and Janet Napolitano sued to enjoin the rescission, and Judge Alsup did so, apparently using a copy of the U.S. Constitution known only to practitioners and jurists in the Ninth Circuit.
