Federal Judge Dismisses Texas' Lawsuit Over Syrian Refugees
ABC News ^ | June 16, 2016 | Paul J. Weber, AP

Texas' efforts to halt the arrival of Syrian refugees have been blocked by a federal judge, who rejected Republican leaders' claims that refugees pose an imminent risk or that states deserve a say in resettlements.

The ruling comes days after presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump called to block non-citizen Muslims from entering the U.S. following the Orlando nightclub massacre.

U.S. District Judge David Godbey, who was appointed by President George W. Bush, had previously knocked Texas for offering "largely speculative hearsay" about extremists possibly infiltrating Syrian refugees. His ruling, which was signed Wednesday, rejected arguments that the Obama administration is wrongly leaving states on the sidelines when resettling refugees, which is handled by the federal government.

I attribute this to the emasculation of men. We've adopted the female approach such as TALKING ABOUT IT BUT NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT.

Talk on Twitter, talk on Fox News and CNN.. TALK TALK TALK such as I am doing now. Okay I'm guilty!

This George W. Bush appointee went to Harvard Law School the bastion of progressive judicial thinking. John Roberts, the Bush appointee to Chief Justice of the Supreme Court went to Harvard. So did progressives Elena Kagan, David Souter, and Stephen Breyer. Kagan served as dean of Harvard Law School. Anthony Kennedy, the swing vote on the court, was also a Harvard grad.

The federal judiciary is infested with leftists educated in the concept of the “living” Constitution by Harvard and the other Ivies. Bush could have chosen state university laaw graduates who live and practice in middle America. Instead he behaved just like a Democrat in appointing Ivy League progressive elitists. Why?

I wonder how this judge would feel if 1000 people camped outside his home.

The time for target practice which will soon commence. A shame, really as we have spent so much to import the targets and setting them up. Let the game begin and the hunted beware.

Judges deserve term limits just as politicians do. If not term limits, at least prison sentences.

...............”U.S. District Judge David Godbey, who was appointed by President George W. Bush, had previously knocked Texas for offering “largely speculative hearsay” about extremists possibly infiltrating Syrian refugees......”

IF we know (and we do), the judge knows, therefore logic says the judge is acting as instructed on behalf of an agenda. Please don’t anyone tell me the judge is naïve.

I don’t believe we are in the “miss me yet” times of the “Bush Administration” anymore. I believe we’ve been had by those we trusted even somewhat as well as those we knew we couldn’t trust at all.

Maybe Texas should detain the refugees, detain any Federal officials escorting them, and dare Obama to send the Army to the State Capitol if they want to enforce this policy?

Given who appointed this particular judge, it doesn’t appear to have started with the current oval office inhabitant either.

You couldn't be more correct. He's surrounded himself with advisers that are Muslims and done it openly.

Put the Texas State Guard on the border crossings of New Mexico, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Louisiana, plus any airports large enough to accommodate a 727.

Turn back any feds accompanying refugees .

How about Texas resettle these potential terrorists in Far West Texas, just so they feel more at home? Nothing but tumbleweeds, scorpions, and rattlesnakes as far as the eye can see.

Continuing proof of my theory that the Bush family consists of Democrat moles sent to destroy the Republican Party from within. Biggest mistake Reagan made was to accept the elder Bush as his running mate.
