In an early test of President Trump's so-called "Muslim ban," a federal judge in Seattle ruled Friday to halt enforcement of parts of Trumps week-old executive order on immigration. U.S. District Judge James Robart ruled on a motion by the state of Washington for a temporary restraining order halting the parts of the order that block entry to the U.S. by refugees and certain immigrants from some Muslim-majority countries. Robart's ruling will temporarily halt enforcement of several provisions of Trump's controversial executive order. Attorneys for the federal government are expected to appeal the ruling. Fridays was the first hearing in Washington states lawsuit filed Monday against Trump; state Attorney General Bob Ferguson argues the order is discriminatory and illegal. Amazon and Expedia filed declarations in support of Washingtons case, and the state of Minnesota moved to join the case Wednesday. Following the ruling, Ferguson said Robart's decision will provide immediate relief to those targeted in Trump's order. "I'm certain the president will not like this decision," Ferguson said. "But it is his job, it is his obligation to honor it, and I'll make sure he does."

There is no authority given by the Constitution to do this.

Pinkbell got there first. Mods, why have two threads??
Do what?
A judge who does not abide with law and order?
I believe someone needs to seek new employment.
The election is over but the war is just beginning.
Agreed. Mods, could you please merge this thread with:

Decide immigration policy.
They always do this crap on the weekend
The president must accept Syrian refugees into the United States? ? I think not.
So the state of Washington and Amazon set our refugee policy? Again, I think not.
Take them all to those talcum-powder dry parts of Oklahoma and fence them in. Presto: compliance with the judges order as well as Trump’s protection for our own citizens.
there is ZERO constitutional basis for any such ruling. It is judicial anarchy, pure and simple.
If Soros/CAIR/Saudi/Pelosi will now just be able to go find politicized or compromised “judges” to issue whatever damned “rulings” they wish, then our once-great republic will be beyond even DJT’s ability to restore.

Trump should have any refugees heading to this district be rerouted to some other airports outside the district (and therefore outside this judge's jurisdiction) until Trump can get the order overturned on appeal.
Why haven’t ANY Federal judges ruled 0dungsh*t’s Iran ‘DEAL’ UNCONSTITUTIONAL?
SC is 4-4 at best so a lower court stands. If they appeal you are accepting the court had standing no?
Why hasn’t the Trump administration filed an emergency appeal to stay this yet?
I hear ya' - since when does the Judiciary set immigration policy?
How do you know they haven’t?
Who needs authority. President Trump will get his first failure unless he charge the judge with interfering with Federal authority and arrest this judge on treason. Never do it.
