Today we see exactly the kind of problem that can be created. The "human cost of Senate Republicans reckless refusal to fill the vacancy on the Supreme Court" is going to be felt by literally millions of people. Today the Supreme Court failed to resolve the legal challenge to DAPA and expanded DACA. the Executive orders of President. The result of that 4to4 tie vote leaves millions of families across America in legal limbo. I urge this Justice Department to consider all the legal options to swiftly overturn the injunction that is blocking President Obama from using his legal authority to set immigration enforcement priorities. DAPA and an expanded DACA will make our country safer and allow lawabiding individuals with deep roots in our communities to step out of the shadows and contribute more fully to the country they love. A tie vote on the U.S. Supreme CourtI cant remember the last time that happened.
