More and more chief Justice Roberts has been playing games with the court to achieve the policy outcomes he desires. This case concerns president obamas executive amnesty, amnesty that president obama decreed directly contrary to federal law. He did so with no Legal Authority.

May faithfulness to you become the litmus test by which they evaluate each action. We pray in your powerful name. Amen. The
Mr. Cruz mr. President , todays decision from the u. S. Supreme court and department of Homeland Security versus ree jentses regents of the university of california is disgraceful. Judging is not a game. Its not supposed to be a game. But sadly over recent years more and more chief Justice Roberts has been playing games with the court to achieve the policy outcomes he desires. This case concerned president obamas executive amnesty, amnesty that president obama decreed directly contrary to federal law. He did so with no Legal Authority. He did so in open defiance of federal statutes. And of course he was celebrated in the press for doing so.
