You are right, but none of that matters to a liberal court or judge as we have seen over and over again.
Thanks for clearing that up... I'll use the 12% number from now on...
I respect your logic, and, until a year or so ago, I would have agreed with you.
However, I now believe we are engaged in an all out battle to preserve, protect and defend the constitution.
Sotomayor, Kagan, and Ginsberg WILL vote against Trump. Probably one other, I don’t know.
I see it as 4 - 4.
Nope. We lost this.
9th will uphold, will go to Supremes, 4-4 remanded or 5-3 upholds judge.
They cherry picked this to go to 9th, but it wouldn’t matter. Was going to end up in the Supremes and as long as Kennedy is there, it’s either a tie or a loss (which means it’s a loss either way).
Trump is apparently not aware of that. His Administration says they’ve followed every ruling.
Yeah, doesn't he know how well that has worked out for us in the past?
That is what Reagan said, yet here we are.
This is all a sham. Just like what the D.C. corrupt and their collusive media friends attempted to during the entire election.
He did a massive amnesty! Much of the problem is due to him.
Both sides were pounded with questions.
While the plaintiffs lawyer sounded more professional and capable, he was also somewhat belittled at times.
The female judge did seem to lean against the temporary hold, it didn’t seem as much of a slam dunk for the other two.
Don’t ask me why, but my gut says two to one against our views.
Wouldn’t be surprised if we lose them all or win two out of three.
That's what I have been saying on other threads. Trump actually has himself to blame here. He said on the campaign trail that he wanted to temporarily ban all muslims from immigrating to the US. He later backtracked. However everyone knows his original intent.
Of course it is not fair to judge the current EO by Trump's earlier campaign statements but that is what these leftists will do.
The leftist judges on the Supreme Court have no dedication to the Constitution or the law. They will vote according to their beliefs. They won’t give a rat’s whisker about a constitutional crisis, in fact, they might welcome it. The left has been trying to destroy the Constitution for decades.
ONE Judge ruled it unconstitutional and Calif pols would not fight to disprove that lie.
The people spoke and it won by a wide margin and they were slammed down. Imagine how set Calif would be if it was implemented?
Rule #17
Never try to guess an appeals judge’s feelings by their questions, except for someone like AJ Scalia or AJ Ginsburg.
Many times they are just trying to see how well you have crafted your thinking on a matter.
If the kangaroos on the 9th circuit rule against Trump and SCOTUS votes 4-4 that will be a dangerous precedent. However, if Gorsuch is on the court when they rule on the actual validity of the EO that might fix the problem. If we don't have another 9-11 or worse in the meantime.
I think you’re right, that SCOTUS will uphold the lower court, and the biggest shame of it, it will go down as a precedent that will stick around for far far too long. Scalia’s words were prophetic; we’ve surrendered our country to five people in black robes.
From what I heard and saw on Hannity and Tucker, the administration did not hit a home run with today’s hearing. Some of the guests were saying this could very well end up at Supreme Court.
So I have a question, this TEMPORARY ban was to last 4 months.
What if Trump were to just leave the stay in place, then at the end of the 4th month goes forward with a vengeance...By then we should have Supreme Court Justice Gorsuch and Jeff Sessions in place...
Just wondering if it might be safer than risking the tied Supremes making some sort of wacky non-Constitutional ruling and over-reaching before Trump’s candidate is on the Court.
If we lose something so plain and obvious, then the immigration issue itself...Wall and all...is lost for a very long time. If you lose this, you are going to lose everything, because nothing will ever have to be this kind of reach. I would expect the Democrats to delay the Supreme Court nomination indefinitely...and if McConnell invokes the nuclear option, the Left will riot in the streets, violently all across the country.
Trump could not afford this loss on his signature issue this soon. The Democrats will smell his blood in the water and move in for the kill.
Democrats to delay the Supreme Court nomination indefinitely.
