House Plans: Court and Immigration Case

house plans: The high court had split 4-4 in late June, effectively killing the White House plans to shield from deportation immigrants who are in the country illegally and provide them work permits, according to Metro News. The administration had asked the court to reconsider the case once a ninth justice is on the bench. The justices rejected the appeal with no comment. The court has been short-handed since Justice Antonin Scalia died in February and will have to wait for the Nov. 8 presidential election to get a sense of who might join them as the ninth justice. The immigration case still could return to the court, but probably not until a later term. President Barack Obama has nominated Judge Merrick Garland, but Senate Republicans have refused to act, saying the next president should fill the Scalia seat. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
