An old story

Government Officials So Sorry That Their Own Rules Make Them Leave Kids in Filth

This is a repeatable sequence, it came up in the Obama administration, and it is a legal gray area, of which I dunno.

The story is:  Conflicting, but humanitarian rules from Congress, regarding immigrant kids. I forget the issue, but the result rhymed.  Obama and his administration guy punted, let the judiciary handle it.  The conflict too great for political costs. This should have been an administrative judge, wthin the executive, but it had no solution.

Waddya do? This is where the law gets too complex for me. The legislature has created a sort of civil war in the executive, and the executive punted to the judiciary.  Is this new law? The executive is asking the supremes to adjudicate administrative rules based on fundamental rights. How do the supremes juggle all that?
