Judges’ ‘Twilight Zone’ logic in slapping Trump’s travel ban
NY Post ^ | 16 Mar, 2017 | Seth Lipsky

Bing. Bing. Bing. Bing. You’re traveling through another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind — a journey into a wondrous land whose boundaries are that of imagination. Next stop, the Twilight Zone.

Or, more formally, the United States Court for the District of Hawaii. That’s where Judge Derrick Watson has just blocked President Trump from suspending travel to America from certain Muslim countries seething with Islamist terrorism.

Watson issued on Wednesday his own nationwide ban against Trump’s plan to stem migration from specific war zones. The president’s aim is to beef up the vetting of such migrants — a staple of his campaign promises.

Nor is Watson alone. He was followed Thursday by a federal judge in Maryland who also issued an order temporarily restraining Trump. These two geniuses reckon that, among other things, Trump could well be violating the First Amendment.

That’s the part of the Bill of Rights that declares: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion.” It’s the part of America’s supreme law that the judges reckon gives Muslim plaintiffs standing to challenge Trump.

It’s not my purpose here to question the patriotism of the vast majority of America’s Muslims. Or to deny the excruciating predicament in which they’ve been put by our common enemies operating in the name of Islam.

What dimension, though, are these judges living in? Their orders are totally detached from what the framers of the Constitution meant when they prohibited Congress from making any law “respecting an establishment of religion.”

These geniuses should have done to them whatever these Cultural Enrichers do to anyone else. Yes, these government geniuses would probably not last a year and I am OK with that. The country and the world will be better off.

Let’s face the truth:

The dims are against Trump.

The RINOs are against Trump.

The globalists/immigrationalists are against Trump.

He is between a rock and at least three very hard places.

I do not envy him.

Well ...the jihadis want to establish their own religion here.

So ban then on those grounds.

I know one thing, this bastard didn’t use our Constitution or our laws to make his retarded decision. Send all of the refugees to Hawaii. Make him eat his own bull****.

There were EGYPTIANS living in the Roman renamed Israel to Palestine, in 33A.D? That's news to me!

The vast majority of those living in Palestine, today, are originally from Egypt!

Totally agree with your message. So often the UN and world leaders are anti-freedom, anti-Christian power brokers that hate us.

Will someone explain to me when judges were given more power than the president? I know it hasn’t always been that way.

So I guess Obama made at least one friend in law school:

U.S. District Judge Derrick Kahala Watson, who halted President Donald Trump’s revised travel ban Wednesday, is a 1984 graduate of Kamehameha Schools who was in President Barack Obama’s class at Harvard Law School

Can’t this bozo Judge be disbarred at least for going politically rogue?

Why can’t this Judge be charged with treason for putting American lives at risk?

I was being factitious. The Palestinians would say there were no Palestinians in Israel then. And I would say, “Exactly” - so what is your claim to the land then?
