From The Reporter’s Notebook
TPM’s Tierney Sneed looked into what it meant that the Supreme Court wanted to be briefed on whether Obama violated the Constitution’s Take Care Clause with his immigration executive actions. While courts generally stay away from weighing executive branch’s enforcement policies, two cases in the past work in the government’s favor. These are Heckler v. Chaney, where the Supreme Court said the challengers could not bring a challenge against the FDA’s enforcement policies; and Dalton v. Specter, where the court said the a challenge to the president’s decision to close a Philadelphia shipyard was also outside of judicial review.
