Trump will ask Supreme Court to block judge's order on travel ban

The Trump administration said Friday it will ask the Supreme Court to block a federal judge’s ruling limiting the scope of President Trump’s travel ban.

“The Supreme Court has had to correct this lower court once, and we will now reluctantly return directly to the Supreme Court to again vindicate the rule of law and the executive branch's duty to protect the nation,” Attorney General Jeff Sessions said in a statement.

The decision came one day after a Hawaii-based judge dealt Trump a defeat by ordering the government to expand the number of people who are exempt from the controversial ban.

U.S. District Judge Derrick Watson, who was appointed by former President Barack Obama, said the Trump administration did not abide by a Supreme Court ruling that allowed a partial version of the ban to take effect.

The government began to allow residents of six Muslim-majority nations with immediate family in the U.S. to enter the country. Watson said those criteria were too narrow.

Watson was one of the federal judges who issued a nationwide injunction blocking the initial ban, as well as a revised version.

This idiot Hawaii federal judge is a glutton for punishment, SCOTUS has to slap him down again.

It is NOT a “travel ban”.

It is a Constitutionally mandated INVASION BAN (US Const, Art. IV, Sec. 4) regardless of a court’s decision.

So when does our RINO CONGRESS call in this clown and hand him his walking papers?

[Defiant]

Supreme Court needs to not only slap him down, but tell him no more injunctions wasting their time.

[Puppage]

Why even have a president if a POS judge can change things?

This “judge” is an absolute political hack with a political agenda. What a disgrace to the Constitution, the Rule of Law and to the Judiciary. No wonder people believe many judges are nitwits with pointy heads.

[chuckee]

Some judges never learn. This one needs to be taken out to the woodshed a second time by the Supreme Court. If this clown wanted to legislate then he should have run for Congress.

Absolutely right, this pinhead judge has wasted time and cost a lot of bucks.

I know many have want Trump to go all Obama and ignore these lower court orders from the start

But I think the this is actually been turn out great for Trump is actually earns him praise from some of the left for being willing to follow procedure and just take it up to the Supreme Court each time

Easy solution.

Send ALL muzzies to Hawaii and see how that works out.

Betcha that “judge” will tap dance pretty fast.

[robroys woman]

This needs to be done, if only on principle.

[jazusamo]

Amen, President Trump is doing the right thing.

[JME_FAN]

Send every last refugee to Hawaii, and relocate all those already here to this so-called “paradise” ... Then sit back, watch and laugh your ass off as these libturd morons scream bloody murder when their paradise is quickly turned into a dung hole. Who knows - the Island might actually “tip over,” LOL!

[Diogenesis]

This Blackrobe micturates on SCOTUS and should
be impeached for ignoring their ruling.
