Thomas Jefferson warned of judicial tyranny, which we have been living under. For example, a federal judge recently ordered this to a civil litigant before illegally confiscating his property:
“You are a fool, a fool, a fool, a fool to screw with a federal judge, and if you don’t understand that, I can make you understand it … I have the full force of the Navy, Army, Marines and Navy behind me,”
By ceding jurisdiction to the renegade courts, Trump has shown himself to be a typical GOP bigwig. He should have simply told the judge in Seattle that he had no jurisdiction in the case and told him to pound sand. I see this as a crippling blow to the Trump presidency as virtually every aspect of his beneficial agenda will be challenged in court and he will have to wait it out. Lawfare is a real concept for a reason, and Trump blew it.
So much for 4D chess.
Sad.
The court ruling is illegal. We shouldn’t have to follow it.
Recess the senate, make recess appointments. Can this be done? Personally I would rewrite the EO and ignore the courts, the law is on his side.
How do we impeach these bastids!
I remain convinced that this is a blessing in disguise. Trump is piss##d and more determined than ever to fill the federal judiciary with rock solid judges.
If I were President Trump I would sign an EO tomorrow morning that says that everyone who enters our country from those 7 countries must be detained at the airport, or at the Embassy for their country until they can be properly vetted. They would not be free to walk our streets until they are completely vetted, so come on in, but be prepared to be detained for as long as it takes.
lol
when Obama was in charge.. the government was ALL POWERFUL !
heck... the government could even make you BUY something!
now that a Republican is in charge... the president doesn’t even have the power to defend the country from foreign invasion!
WTF!
all these judges need to be impeached!
Is it my imagination but didn’t Bush 43 suspend immigration from certain countries after 9/11?
The Judicial Left has dug in its heels.
Not a bit surprised! Still mad as h*ll though!
However, we could still save our country. All immigration into the U.S. is determined by the legislature and executive. All we need is for someone to grow enough backbone to say that we need to restrict immigration in TOTALITY. And we do. So the 9th Circus says we can’t discriminate based on religion as they say. Fine. We can just dramatically lower refugee quotas and lower all legal immigration allotments. Start making it a political issue for Republicans and force them to take a stand one way or the other so we can “vet” them out and put people in power.
Trump has shattered the liberal-imposed concrete ceiling against criticism of immigration. We must run with it forward.
Fake decision from the fake judges.
Law is so clear, a 5 year old can understand it.
Dem judges would declare the Constitution unconstitutional given half a chance.
No Dem is qualified to be in office.
This so-called “ruling” essentially mean that the President is no longer in charge of securing our borders.
