FAKE LAWSUIT
Why does THIS lawsuit take priority when there are 50 other lawsuits concerning Trump’s EO??
The Ban is the default, the lawsuit must wait.
Why have RINOs not have 10 counter suits already prepared??
Where’s his pussy hat??
Damn, should read Impeachment is necessary. A Federal judge that does not know that the Federal Government has the sole authority to set immigration policy must be kicked off the bench.
Getting technical....it is not a lawsuit...it is a judicial action... to the executive branch....which by normal rules the executive branch cannot ignore!
The judge can’t block this. If the administration allows it, it’s only because they re playing a game for a long term strategy. This ruling would be like saying nobody has a right to vote. The law is plain here. Maybe Trump will expect other judges to do the same thing for him one day.
Screw the libs BIG LEAGUE as well!
I expected the appeal of the stay by noon today.
Instead “The Department of Homeland Security says it has suspended “any and all actions” regarding President Trump’s ban on citizens from seven Muslim-majority countries entering the United States” an hour ago.
Don’t know what Trump’s up to.

Replying to this and several other comments later in this thread.
1. Trump is still short-handed, with Sessions in the Senate to vote for DeVos’s confirmation and not yet himself confirmed to take over DOJ. The same DOJ whose acting AG was fired after last weekend for ORDERING the whole department to NOT DEFEND Trump’s EO.
2. Not surprising that a judge from somewhere came out with a stay of the EO. Probably a pitiful, if not non-existent, defense of the EO by the Session-less DOJ in this court. I would not be surprised if that greatly contributed to this outcome.
3. All reports on the decision I’ve read from legal-types is that this judge’s decision would be flunked if presented in law school class. But if its appeal goes next to the 9th Circus, that may not matter, ESPECIALLY if DOJ is still not yet staffed by Session’s people. 9th Circus is as far from Scalia/Gorsuch philosophy as you can get.
It is critical that this incompetent decision be properly reversed, regardless of how long that may take. And if it goes to SCOTUS, we want it to get there after Gorsuch has arrived. Not sure what happens if it is undecided as 4-4; it could even be 3-5 without Gorsuch’s influence and participation.
Trump should write another EOto do same thing, with a few words changed.
DeVos is not worth it, we need an AG NOW.
Yes, agree. An AG is of utmost importance in these violent times. DeVos can wait.
So what is the thinking of the effects of this ruling going forward(appeals) and the SCOTUS situation here: Trump is screwed(only on this issues or for remainder of his Presidency or still hope(small or more than that)? Reading both dire and somewhat at best hopeful thoughts....
Addendum to post#111( http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/3521335/posts?page=111#111 )
What about those whom have been admitted into the USA during this ban block?
My biggest fear is there are hundreds of moles of Obama and Clinton in the WH, State Dept, FBI and CIA, DHS.
Congress can impeach the judge and show clearly the legislative intent of the statute.
“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.”
Exactly right.
