One instance would be King v Burwell. When the ACA was passed by Congress it established that the federal government could reimburse expenses for medical care to state exchanges. However not every state chose to set up state exchanges, so the Executive branch created a federal exchange and authorized spending money in a way NOT authorized by Congress.
In King v Burwell Roberts literally had to rewrite the ACA to say that the federal government COULD spend money in a way NOT authorized by Congress. The proper remedy would have been to return the case to Congress to fix the oversight, but since the Congress had changed, very much due to the ACA, Roberts knew that the new Congress would not pass a new law, he wrote it.
Completely wrong.

All about the rule of law and each branch of government fulfilling their proper roles. The original DACA EO is illegal. That is what the Court should have ruled on.

I think you mean you think the outcome was right, whether or not the original EO was legal.

Because Roberts allowed an illegal EO to stand while setting aside the remedy to the illegal EO.

If you tell Congress one thing, then do another, you have lied, or in legal parlance, you have committed perjury.

That is a very bizarre statement given that the original EO that President Trump reversed was an illegal intrusion into Congress's law making powers as regards immigration. Especially that Obama claimed for years he could not do what he eventually did.

Congress DID make the law in Title VII of the CRA and the SCOTUS rewrote the law.
It is Congress's prerogative to make or NOT make laws. Neither the Executive nor the SCOTUS is free to act and encroach on Congress's law making and appropriation powers.

I didn't vote for President Trump in 2016.
I like branches of government that stay in their own lane. The Constitution lays out those roles and responsibilities. I don't think it is asking too much that each branch do their job and leave the other branches to theirs.
