A federal judge in Seattle Friday struck down a week-old executive order that barred all refugees and travelers from seven Muslim-majority nations from entering the United States — a dramatic move that set the stage for a contentious battle between President Trump and the courts.

Then let’s put a stay on Roe v Wade. It’s likely to be overturned and their is irreparable harm

“Will be reversed no later than Monday.”

Trump lost this the moment he chose not to ignore the renegade Judge.
goes to full 9th circus
Upholds Judge
goes to SC
4/4 decision at best maybe even lose Roberts or Kennedy
9th ruling stands Judge is upheld
Game over
Rule of law out the window and Trump loses the right going forward due to precedent. We can no longer decide who comes in or not. Might even apply to southern border, disaster.

“Where is the single “federal” judge that will uphold it?”

The federal district court judge in Massachusetts upheld the order before the Seattle judge ruled. So there are two federal court rulings directly contradicting each other. Don’t know what happens in that case. Both have equal authority. Seems to me you could ignore the one and run with the other because you have a specific order upholding it. When the Seattle judge says you are in contempt can’t you say, no we have a specific order of equal authority authorizing us to enforce the EO.

It’ll immediately go to Kennedy if they don’t do the right thing.

Yes you’re correct. And the president could - if he deemed it appropriate in the defense of our country- ban all
Muslims at many time he wished. Aliens seeking entry to USA have zero Constitutionally recognized rights ( and the president has maximal powers anyway at the border and a primal duty as commander in chief to defend America ). The judge’s order is pure political bs and would flunk him
Out of Constitutionsl Law class in gen seconds flat.

How can a judge direct national security? Hell no. Send the National guards and turn back these migrants.

My question is why did the dOJ break easily the court rules for Elian but here we have to out up with actual terrorists?

I suspect there is a Rino gop behind this lagging political will.

And companies like FB not paying their taxes should get zero representation from their lobbyists in DC. No more corporate welfare with these companies financing campaigns

This is not Trump’s fault at all. Republicans are against him, Democrats are against him, the media is against him and now the courts are against him. If you can’t get change by elections...There is another alternative and we may be at that point

Janet Reno did not even need these judgments, there was no national security at stake, and she did it anyways

Unbelievable. If there were no Rinos and a support for the national guards to block the travellers, this would not happen.

Yep. The Bush family is the worst thing to ever happen to the republican party. I don’t have a bit of use for any of them.

Sometimes it IS Bush’s fault.

Or maybe more often than that.

Different case, and no idea why they’re part of this being that Minnesota is 8th district.

I guess the Lawyer forgot when Obama stopped Immigration from Iraq back in 2011.

“Trump lost this the moment he chose not to ignore the renegade Judge.”

How did Trump choose to ignore the judge. White House is appealing his decision.

The 9th Circuit will not uphold.

“Rule of law out the window and Trump loses the right going forward due to precedent. We can no longer decide who comes in or not. Might even apply to southern border, disaster.”

Immigration laws are not covered by this injunction, and cannot be covered by this injunction. The injunction pertains only to the EO. A District judge cannot overrule legislation.

“...Federal Judges don’t stand for re-election. It’s a lifetime tenure appointment....”

And therein lies the problem. Why bother with elections, POTUS, Congress etc., when we got these black-robed communist bassturds ruling over us as tyrants?
This stupid POS should be totally ignored...TOTALLY. What’s his options? Cry contempt of court? Issue a warrant?....good luck with that. LEOs work for us now and we have all the guns. He can’t do crap. He looks like he couldn’t even fight his way out of a wet paper bag....pussy, is what he is. He should be made an example of. Should be taken out and hung for treason, but impeachment will work just fine. Roll on, Trump...you got em scared spitless.

The courts and the State Dept. are in full revolt against Trump. The time to drain the swamp is NOW, Mr. President.
