Federal judges thwart Trump agenda for political, not legal, reasons

Judges have relegated Trump to being a second-class president.

Because the judges disapprove of Trump's character and behavior, they hold that he cannot exercise the authority that the constitution and federal law grant to his office.

The Trump administration rescinded DACA. The Ninth Circuit found that what Obama could create by executive action Trump cannot undo by executive action.

A concurring opinion, by Judge John Owens, agrees that the Trump administration is barred from rescinding DACA, but not for the pettifogging reasons.

In other words, it would not matter what process the Trump administration used or what reasons it cited.

This is the same rationale federal judges used to strike down Trump's travel bans on immigration from some countries.

The judges again found that Trump could not be permitted to do what any other president could do because they determined that he was a bigot.
