re: SCOTUS declines to hear DACA appeal

What a stupid ruling

Not really.

The administration jumped over the regular process. The SCOTUS is trying to stick with precedent regarding not skipping the federal appeals court.

The Supreme Court has agreed only about a dozen times in the past century to immediately take a case and bypass the federal appeals courts, and those case usually involve a national emergency, such as nationwide strikes in the steel and coal industries.

This isn't the SCOTUS agreeing or disagreeing with DACA or the White House.

This is SCOTUS telling the White House to follow the normal protocol for these things, nothing more.
