The Trump administration didn't act in accordance with the law in trying to repeal DACA. There is a simple procedure laid out in federal statutes and rules, and the administration tried to do an end run around the law, and they got caught.

I'm more concerned about the four justices who are apparently just fine with it when the Trump administration takes a shortcut through the procedures laid down. How much more disregard of the law would they need to see to say "Enough!" I thought Republicans were trying to be all about law and order these days.
