President Trump’s extreme vetting policy is a temporary, legal and smart use of his national security and immigration powers, the Justice Department said in its legal defense, filed Monday evening, that argues the courts are meddling with the separation of powers.
The administration’s lawyers are asking an appeals court to lift a lower judge’s restraining order that has defanged most of Mr. Trump’s Jan. 27 executive order imposing the new vetting policy.
The lawyers said immigration law gives Mr. Trump expansive powers to decide whom to let into the U.S. and whom to block, and said that while people who reach the U.S. do have some rights, those who are applying from overseas have no claims.
They also said the State Department has the power, “at any time,” to revoke visas, and foreigners don’t even have a legal right to go to court.
“Aliens outside the United States have no due process rights with respect to their attempt to gain entry into this country,” the lawyers wrote.

Sounds like Judge Robart needs to be taken to the wood shed. Resign.
Trump may have to eventually disregard these leftist judges who are acting out of activism. To allow them to continue like this gives them credence that they do not have.
Absolutely, and should be impeached if he doesn’t resign.
Bump!
No shit Sherlock. Dogs have fur, too.
He needs to be impeached and removed, and if someone dies as a result of his judicial coup, he needs to be brought to justice.
Looks like he had a conflict of interest and should not have even ruled on this case. Is he a lawyer? Should be disbarred too.
The word was put out a couple of weeks ago by a YUGE DOMESTIC ENEMY...

Enemies within ALERT!
This should be a slam dunk and would be except this is 9th circus and this case is HUGE for the left so we best prepare for the worst.
Thanks!
Say what... conflict of interest....missed that paragraph.
Where / how
If Gorsuch isn't confirmed until April or May, these leftist judges will be a big problem for Trump for everything that he does in his first 100 days.
So will Trump put up with this nonsense or will he start disregarding these leftist judges?
I read it from earlier today. He does pro bono work for refugees, maybe supports BLM. Doesn’t seem like a disinterested party to me.
“wood shed”? How about ‘pine box’?
President Trump should ask Congress for a declaration of war against the Islamic State. Then, with that done, take whatever actions necessary to protect the US and carry out that war. Even the 9th Circuit would be hard pressed to not let the executive branch prosecute the war as it sees fit. First by closing our borders to people and countries not aligned with us.
Three judges from 9th circuit
William C Canby JR. Appt Carter
Michelle T Friedman. Appt Obama
Richard F Clifton. Appt George W Bush
