Supreme Court's Final Say On Immigration Expected to Impact Latino Vote

A final ruling by the Supreme Court on President Barack Obama's immigration executive action could come in time to have an impact on the 2016 elections and the Latino vote.

Obama's decision to authorize deportation deferrals and work permits to millions of immigrants already has been an issue in the presidential race.

But on Tuesday the Supreme Court decided to consider all of the plaintiff's arguments against Obama's immigration executive action that he took in late 2014.

That means that a final decision could come at the end of this year's term, around late June or early July, setting up another summer with the sort of blockbuster rulings that send news and legal interns bolting across the court's plaza with the ruling.

Final state primaries are June 7, followed by the District of Columbia primary on June 14. The Republican and Democratic conventions are scheduled for July.

not voting will accomplish that...

The next president will probably appoint at least 2 justices

Roberts, Thomas, Alito and Scalia are going nowhere (Too bad we can't send them to west africa during Ebola season)

and decided to stay ..

This is why we need term limits on SCOTUS..

No one younger than 60 and only a 15 year term..
15 covers at least two terms, and that should be plenty

If SCOTUS rules against Obama - that would be a black eye for the Repugs. If SCOTUS rules for Obama - that would be a big victory for Obama. Am I right or wrong on this?
