Professor Barry McDonald Mentioned in "Roberts Bolsters Swing-Vote Status" -- Bloomberg Law

Professor Barry P. McDonald is mentioned in the Bloomberg Law article, "Roberts Bolsters Swing-Vote Status With Immigration Rulings." The article considers Chief Justice Roberts and his position as a swing vote on the Supreme Court as he sided with the majority in all eight of its immigration cases this term and cast the deciding vote in half of them.

Pepperdine Caruso School of Law professor Barry McDonald noted that Gorsuch and Kavanaugh were with Roberts in the majority in every one of the immigration cases this term. The lone exception was the surprise ruling in the dispute over the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. The court prevented the administration from ending protections for hundreds of thousands of young undocumented immigrants living in the U.S., known as "Dreamers."
