Looks like the Supreme Court is going to hand Trump another loss, this time on DACA.

Polls show that nearly 80% of Americans think the country has racial problems and a substantial majority support the protests. Ignoramus.

This is good news as it would have been terrible for a selfish, cruel president like Trump to control DACA's fate.

I'm not a lawyer, but the president does have pretty broad latitude in classifying (and declassifying) material, even classifying previously unclassified material.
That said, if the book has been properly vetted through normal channels for classification as Bolton says, the motivation to classify material after the review is pretty obvious and it's likely an abuse of that presidential power.
the weird twist is that it would be pretty pleasing to me if Bolton had to give up all the profits to the book. He put his wallet in front of the nation's need and that is unforgivable. Would be sweet for him to lose that money.
But it would be a bad precedent.
I think the original attempt to get in the way of this release was to ask for Bolton to not be able to profit off the book. It appears now that the WH is going to do everything it can to prevent publication, Bolton speaking on it or anyone else referencing it. At the very least it could stall the release.
The book is already being sold in Canada outside of US jurisdiction. The major media outlets will just go live to their Toronto bureau for an exhaustive analysis of what Bolton wrote. Then the pundit programs will talk non-stop about those revelations for the following 72 hours.
The American voter gets his/her news from the news organizations. Bolton wasn't going to sell 100,000,000 copies of his book.

No one said it was wrong or illegal?
Just surprised a self described multi billionaire would delay a $88,000 rent payment.

Well, my understanding is that the SC basically said that Trump did not follow the proper procedure in trying to undo DACA, not that he couldn't undo DACA. The decision spelled out very specifically where Trump went wrong, so he now knows exactly how he can undo DACA and survive the legal challenge that will inevitably be made.
Basically, if Biden wins, DACA survives. If Trump wins, DACA is gone (unless he changes his mind).

The Trump Administration absolutely has the authority to end DACA. They just have to follow proper procedures to do so, and they didn't.
As USA Today reported: "The question before the justices in November was not whether the Trump administration can wind down the program, which is undisputed." The Administration just had to provide a reasoned explanation for the move, and SCOTUS held that it hadn't--that its action was arbitrary and capricious.
I would not be surprised at all if the Administration took another crack at it and ended DACA before 11/3. It's not clear that such a win would help the President's re-election chances, however.

I don't believe there is a reasoned explanation for ending DACA. Trump wants to either use them as a trading chip or deport them. At one time, he offered to extend DACA in exchange for funding for his wall.

You're welcome to your opinion, but the courts grant considerable deference to the executive in such matters. The bar for a "reasoned explanation" is pretty low; the Trump Administration just dropped the ball on its first attempt. (A "pretty low" bar is still a bar, and they didn't clear it.)
The Administration has some smart lawyers and they can come up with something that will satisfy judicial scrutiny. They could do that in a week IMO.
However, contrary to what I suggested in my earlier post, a new effort at ending DACA would once again have to wend its way through the courts, on its way back to the Supremes and I *do not* think it could be done before Election Day. The Administration may just decide to hold off entirely until after the election.

But then, Steve King (R-Iowa) screamed about DACA: "The point here is ... the President does not have the authority to waive immigration law, nor does he have the authority to create it out of thin air."
Now, Republicans have allowed Trump to create immigration law out of thin air, unchallenged. You can legally argue that Trump does not have the sole authority to end DACA. It is an existing program and he has to work with Congress (so said Steve King and other Republicans) to make any changes. It is a year and a half too late for Trump to try the "legal" route. That won't happen because, the House will say no. Trump's only option is try another illegal trick play.

From a reelection standpoint, Trump may get more mileage out of claiming to have tried to end DACA and having been stopped by the "deep state". The rallying call will be that he needs another term to get more federal judge appointments.
Except for their utility as the villains in the Trump drama, he could give a flip about illegal immigrants.

Solid points.

Trump loves illegal immigrants. He has hired a lot of them. He loved them most when he got the ones he hired nabbed by ICE for deportation. Why did he love them most then? Because he didn't have to pay them for the work they had done and he had not paid them for. Very Trumpian.
What do you guys think of the probability of this scenario?
Trump wins in 2020 but much more narrowly than before, the Dems get even louder about identity politics so Nikki Haley is nominated in 2024 and becomes the first female president. Bonus is she is an antidote to the swing voters who are queasy about Trump's chaotic style.
