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.

How come Trump must follow the law but the DemonRats don't have to? Activist judges usurping president's authority, DemonRat mayors and governors of SANCTUARY cities and states.. When one side follows the law and the other side refuses to... CONGRESS CRITTERS like Nancy Pelosi using terms like 'white supremist' to describe Steve Bannon.. WTF?

Since WHEN is it even up to debate 'IF' Sanctuary cities and states is legal or not?

OKAY

Aliens outside the United States have no due process rights with respect to their attempt to gain entry into this country,”

You would think in the 230 years since the Constitution was adopted this would have been figured out.

Apparently a pink wearing bow tied faggot judge may have the power .

What a country!

Precedence is Andrew Jackson, he challenged the court to enforce it's order, and ignored it.

Liberal activist judges feel they should write law, not interpret it.
