But the Supreme Court ruling didn't set a precedent. When President Clinton fills the vacancy early next year, the matter will return to a far more liberal court. And then a precedent will be established.

No it won't. Unless the then president tries to do the same end run around congress by issuing a bogus EO.

The EO won't be bogus if the 5th liberal court justice votes with the other 4, and establishes precedent.

Yup, and as I said, the new president would have to issue said bogus EO (knowing it is bogus when they do) AND wait for their appointment to be seated and then petition the court to review and accept the case. The new SCOTUS may not even accept such a case.

The EO isn't bogus according to 4 of 8 justices. The 9th justice appointed by President Clinton in early 2017 will likely side with the president should a new lawsuit be filed to overturn her EO, assuming the House and Senate remain in Republican hands. This issue far from over, but Obama won't be in office to claim credit.

First, that's not the bar. The lower court's decision is in full force - so yes, bogus. Second, even if the new President is Cankles, she'd have to make a nomination and manage to get it approved. Care to guess what the senate will be asking this new court hopeful? Can you say Bork?

Greetings, clownboy. :2wave:

How many times can the same case be brought before the SCOTUS? Talk about diehards who want their own way! :thumbdown:

As long as four justices say they're willing to grant the writ of certiorari. Oh, and there has to be a case (that is suitable for the SCOTUS). As of now there isn't one.
