This is the biggest frustration that many people have with criticism of SCOTUS...they want them to rule one way or another when congress could simply write new laws to be more clear (ok, it's not simple but it is the correct way).
Right vs. Left...conservative vs. liberal...doesn't matter if the laws were written correctly to begin with.
- _qulr 6y agoI think partisanship is the main reason why Congress can't write laws to be more clear. Gridlock is easier than action, which leaves the courts to decide important issues. Imagine the debate over rewriting the 2nd Amendment to be clearer. ;-)
- j_walter 6y agoI couldn't agree more. One of the few things I think Trump has done correctly is that he sunsetted DACA with a timeline that should have been adequate to pass a new law (that was his point actually since the presidential order was not the right way to do it). Enough people were outraged that it should not have been hard to get something done...but still nothing. Better to place blame on Trump than to make sure a permanent law could be passed. Oh...and we shouldn't be leaving it up to the courts...by the time its at SCOTUS the damage has been done and everyone's time is wasted.
