“A federal judge temporarily blocked the roll back of the DACA program. Justice William Alsup has ordered the federal government to continue to accept renewal applications. However the administration was not ordered to accept applications from new applicants.”

Ok this is a bit silly. It's perfectly legal to rescind a predecessor's Executive Order.

Yes, it does seem strange.

"Here, sir, the people activist Federal Judges of the 9th Circuit that overstep their bounds rule."

In this case, the judge in question isn't from the Ninth Circuit. Although the Ninth Circuit does hold the appellate jurisdiction here and may or may not uphold this ruling.

"Here, sir, the people activist Federal Judges of the 9th Circuit that overstep their bounds rule."

You mean like the activist judges on the Supreme Court who keep legislating from the bench when the law isn't what conservatives want it to be?  That kind of activist judge?  I say this not as whataboutism, so much as to make the point that given the extreme judicial activism we've seen from folks like Kennedy, Scalia, Roberts, Ginsberg, Thomas, Alito, William Douglas, etc, etc, etc, I don't think either party is in any position to complain about out-of-control activist judges.  

It might be best if we all just admitted that what most folks mean when they complain about judicial activism is "the court did something I don't like on an issue I care about."

Also, I would not be shocked if the 9th stays/overturns this immediately.

This ruling is literally incoherent:

"The judge said a nationwide injunction was "appropriate" because "our country has a strong interest in the uniform application of immigration law and policy.""

1) DACA itself goes against having a uniform immigration law.

2) How is a NATIONWIDE injunction going against uniform application?

It would have seriously made more sense if he had just said "I think making brown people obey the law is racist and therefore we wouldn't make them" because that's obviously want he wanted to say anyway and it would have been just as legally valid (ie, not valid at all).
