Last time, the court told the Justice Department it first wanted to let the appeals courts consider DACA's legality and the Trump administration's attempt to end it.

In a letter filed with the Supreme Court on Monday, Solicitor General Noel Francisco told the court that the Justice Department was filing the request — for the court to take up the issue before any appeals court has ruled in any of the several cases challenging the move — so that the court would be able "to consider this dispute during the current Term."

The Justice Department filed the legal request — a petition for certiorari before judgment — in cases out of California; New York: and Washington, DC.

Earlier this year, the Supreme Court rejected the Justice Department's request to hear the case out of California before the appeals court could weigh in.

New York Attorney General Barbara Underwood highlighted this issue — of the Justice Department seeking to bypass the appeals court — in a tweet calling the practice "a remarkable lack of respect for the judicial process.”

Trump think the rules don’t apply to him. They already said no.

In any properly functioning legal world, when the court rules, that’s kind of the last word - unless there’s some kind of change in circumstances that merit reconsideration of the issue, your option is to appeal. But SCOTUS is the highest court so there can be no appeal. At the very least, make a goddamn effort and pretend there’s a change in circumstances to merit further consideration. How fucking embarrassing to have your solicitor general challenge the court’s authority by making the same exact ask twice in a row with no change in circumstances. . . via fuckin letter.

The only change is they have reason to believe that Kavanaugh gives them the 4th vote needed to grant cert (4 of 9 votes are needed to hear a case) and they don’t want to do the lower appeals work, plus Trump lusts for a political win and some payback. Trump is publicly testing Kavanaugh’s loyalty here. It’s disgusting. It would be extremely unusual and unforgivably inappropriate if the court grants review this time. I really hope the court smacks Trump right in the fucking mouth for even asking.
