It wouldn’t surprise me if he did. That arrogant pos former occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave appointed him.

At this point Trump needs to ignore these court orders while proceeding to the Supremes for a slap down once and for all.

Given the these Leftist’s lack of understanding of the law and of the Constitution, decisions like these are laid bare as nothing but personal attacks. They cannot stand.

How are judges removed?

"The clearest command of the Establishment Clause is that one religious denomination cannot be officially preferred over another."

That is wrong. The language of the Establishment Clause could not be clearer and needs no parsing:

"Congress shall make no law regarding the establishment of a religion; nor the free exercise thereof."

Watson's statement is incorrect, in that, the Establishment Clause says nothing about preference. It state's what Congress may not do. Period. The BS he is peddling is at the root of this 'separation of Church and State' nonsense that Liberals seem to think exists within the Constitution.

When the courts stray outside their constitutional and statutory boundaries then, at the least, they should be ignored.

All immigrants should be immediately redirected to Hawaii! Preferably to the neighborhood where the judge lives!

Cut the judge's salary by 90% and see if he won't then resign.

Sure there is a clause in the Constitution that requires that his pay not be cut but who cares? It's not like that document means anything now.

Why aren't these "judges" facing impeachment?

President Clinton "taught" Congress to be afraid of impeachment with his all out impeachment war. He used hundreds of taxpayer supplied lawyers as well as other hundreds of civilian lawyers.

Liberal news media attacks were legion and targeted on whoever was involved in impeachment. Pornographer Larry Flynt and his goon squad of "detectives" dug up blackmail on Congressmen, forcing two House Speakers to resign.

Congress is still frightened of impeachment but it seems to me that without a Democrat President we have now removed hundreds of taxpayer supplied lawyers from the equation. Also, liberal news media has had their power much reduced. As well, blackmailers could now be prosecuted. Maybe someone should tell Congress it's ok to impeach now.

“temporary restraining order”

Is that like a ban?

If that happens then I will have to move to another state. We have enough trouble with the homeless here in the Peoples republic of Hawaii.

The problem is no longer the judges. It is the REPUBLICAN MAJORITY Congress which refuses to reign them in.

Exactly, which is why these tiresome screeds are so boring. It must suck to be a political writer who has to excite readers with the same repetitive nostrums.

Hello! For the last time, can we all finally conclude that it's Congress that is at the heart of the problem? Stop shifting blame to the courts. Sheesh, it's the old scorpion and frog fable: judges are going to do what they do without regard to constitutional restraint.

Since it's Congress that holds ultimate power, how about focusing there? Oh, you say Trump is already flying around the country doing rallies? Hmmm, I wonder why? LOL

2016 was step one. 2018 is when the hammer comes down. With Rinos out, and full Congressional support, then the sh!t really begins to hit the fan.

Well at least you have the smart homeless. Far better to sleep on the beach in one of the most beautiful spots on earth rather than the freezing streets of New York or the dangerous streets of Chicago.

Not that it makes it any better, sorry I’m being sarcastic

"For decades, the courts have arrogated to themselves the power to act outside their constitutional authority..."

And that judicial overreach will not stop until the other two branches of government rein them in.

The law and the Constitution are clear. The President does not need a higher court's permission to exercise his lawful duties. In fact, it would be a huge mistake to leave this issue in the offending branch's ballpark.

If anything, the Supreme Court should reach down and discipline the wayward lower courts for their illegal overreach. Concurrently, the President MUST publicly rebuke this tyranny and fully assert his LEGAL authority to exercise the established powers of his office.

The Supreme Court has no more authority to rule on the established legal, constitutional authority of the Executive branch, than these district courts do.

Pursuing a ruling from the Supreme Court is a de facto grant of authority to the judicial branch that it does not possess under the Constitution.

The only way to put an end to this, is for the Executive and Legislative branches to fully assert and exert their constitutional equality with the Judicial branch.
