LAWFARE: "Remarkably, in the entire opinion, the panel did not bother even to cite this (the) statute." A disgraceful decision!
The decision was purely political by activist lib judges, not a big surprise or a big event.
86% of 9th decisions are reversed? My heavens... what are other circuits reversal %?
Good grief this should be talked about....
If a few unelected judges have authority over immigration and national security matters, they should be getting daily intelligence briefings not the President.
This ruling guts separation of powers.
The DOJ lawyer who argued the case in front of them took a dive... (either that or he was just, uh, not qualified to be there) for some reason...
It is time that the GOP stop being “gentlemenly”. We are at war. We need nuclear action in all things. And if our representatives are afraid, fire them at next election.
some interesting tables at the link.
9th is bad in many ways - but not always the worst.
ABA is source so read with caution
Table 2 to the cited ABA article shows 8 cases reversed and 1 case vacated from the 9th Circuit. The next most is 6. So the 9th Circuit had 33% more cases reversed or vacated than the next worst Circuit. And the Federal Circuit, cited as as bad or worse than the 9th Circuit, had 2 cases reversed.
Yeah this data should be more public -
Hello KellyAnn - Hello Stevey B -
Matt, I read your #11 on your FB page today, and had the same reaction as now: please God, let this man be right.

It will be very interesting to see if the USSC takes this case before a trial on the merits in the District Court.
It would be cowardly to deny cert, but CJ Roberts’ self-image will have ten tons riding on this case, and he may want to delay as long as possible.
As I’ve said before, there are titanic issues riding on the 9th Circuit opinion, issues we have been struggling with since 1947 (Everson) and certainly since 1954 (Brown) and 1962 (Engel). This has little to do with “terrorism”, and it has everything to do with who is the sovereign in this land.
The aid to parochial schools, school desegregation, and school prayer cases all represented a failure of the political branches (who are, in Constitutional theology, us) to protect and enforce their prerogatives to make the laws by which we consent to be ruled.
Once the door was opened to the courts, and especially the USSC, to be the final word on subjects that legislators who had to stand for re-election preferred not to touch, it was perfectly predictable that the scope of their “interpretations” would expand and expand and eventually gobble up all of popular sovereignty.
I know this won’t sit well with most on FR, but I think it is time for Trump to stop the twittering and let the legal department take over. He may tweet something that will wreck this whole thing. I know I don’t have to know every thought that goes thru DT head. I want him to win.
I am hoping Gorsuch’s recent comments are a head-fake to help his confirmation process go forward. Trump’s 3D chess playing and all that.
Very corrupt and flawed court decisions are especially destructive of the public trust in government. The obvious distrust of those wronged by the corrupt and flawed decision but also the loss by those who initially support the decision.
It is found that the distrust in the institutions of government brought about by the decision cause the wronged to ignore governmental remedy due to its subversion. The initial winners in a corrupt decision are generally later to regret the over reach as it has exposed the greater weakness.
law is nothing TO LIBTARDS
ITS ALL ABOUT THEIR OPINION AND HOW THEY FEEL ABOUT THINGS ... without the least regard for the LAW....
neither the original ruling nor the appeal HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE LAW...both were UNCONSTITUTIONAL DECISIONS...
Just issue another EO and be done with it...
they can not undermine the Presidential Constitutional authority without a basis in LAW...
80% OF DECISIONS BY THE 9 TH CIRCUIT ARE FOUND TO BE unconstitutional... SO WHAT’S NEW...???
Rules, we don’t need no stinking rules!
That is why it is called the “9th CIRCUS District Court”.
Washington says it will be harmed without them, therefore, when they arrive in the US must they be forced to live in Washington? Or would refugees who refuse to live in Washington or who want to leave that state be sued for causing the state harm? After all not having them and even just waiting for them to arrive in 90 days is making the state suffer somehow.
They will become subject to Judicial prosecution at the next instance in which the Judiciary supports the efforts of an Executive they favor, as was in evidence with Hugo Chavez within Venezuela. Any proclamation of Chavez was adopted as law, as supported by a puppet court system. No dissent is tolerated in a dictatorship, even though it sports a faux legislature and faux judiciary for appearance sake.
We the people aren't being properly represented under this condition, therefore We, The People will not be bound by proclamations of usurpers. We will clean house if you don't step up and start shoveling.
