However, another part of the Hawaii Judge's ruling was stayed.
RINO Roberts and Anthony “Wet Noodle” Kennedy strike again...
It says “The District Court order modifying the preliminary injunction with respect to refugees covered by a formal assurance is stayed pending resolution of the Government’s appeal to the Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit”. What am I missing here to indicate what your saying?
Our whole system is a farce...in case anyone wasn’t already aware of that.
Okay, I ain’t the sharpest knife in the drawer but even I can understand the statute. Basically it allows the president to block anybody from anywhere for any damn reason whenever “HE” deems it in the best interest of the United States of America. How freakin’ hard is that? Sheesh.
The granparent clause is not effective currently:
The Government’s motion seeking clarification of our order
of June 26, 2017, is denied. The District Court order modifying
the preliminary injunction with respect to refugees covered by a
formal assurance is stayed pending resolution of the Government’s
appeal to the Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.
Justice Thomas, Justice Alito, and Justice Gorsuch would
have stayed the District Court order in its entirety.
However, another part of the Hawaii Judge's ruling was stayed.
Not how I read the ruling. The Supreme Court has temporarily stayed the (Hawaii) District Court's modification of "close family" until the government's appeal to the 9th circus regarding the modification has been heard and ruled on.
Justices Thomas, Alito, and Gorsuch concurred with the temporary stay of the (Hawaii) district court's modification of the definition of 'close family,' but would have made the stay permanent, mooting any appeal to the 9th circus.
Why does the President suck up to the Courts at all? Because Congress is too cowardly to rein them in. The Courts are now above the Executive and Legislative branches. And they like it because they can blame the courts for their own incompetence.
Deep State Coup.
Trump’s team did that on purpose having figured out this scotus chief justice likes to split the baby. They gave them an easy split. Real relatives versus organization straphangers.
Trump signaled this Monday, iirc, by beating scotus to the punch and allowing grandparents.
The USSC has stayed the Hawaiian Court order. That means Grandparents etc are NOT allowed in.
Unintended consequences that liberals are so good at:
So, if I’m a government official and I know that letting in one person means I am letting in an extended family, wouldn’t it be safe to say that I will be more likely to say no especially if I have doubts about the extended family? Won’t my inquiries by necessity be expanded to cover more information about the person’s relationships? And if so, wouldn’t we be letting in fewer people?
