Dershowitz: Supreme Court Will Find Trump Travel Order Constitutional, Even Without Gorsuch
realclearpolitics.com ^ | March 15, 2017

Posted on 03/18/2017 5:24:38 PM PDT by Helicondelta

ANDERSON COOPER, CNN: Professor Dershowitz, you were referenced by President Trump saying that even you believe that they will win at the Supreme Court. Is he right in saying that you believe that? And how surprised are you by the president's comments about the Ninth Circuit and obviously going after this judge in particular?

ALAN DERSHOWITZ: Well, I think the president makes a mistake going after judges. He quoted me correctly, I do think he will win many the United States Supreme Court. It will be an important decision because it will be the first time a court has really handled political statements during a campaign and be used to strike down a facially constitutional statute.

I hope the president doesn't misinterpret my statements to say I support the order. I don't support the order. I don't think it's necessary for the safety of the United States. I'm opposed to it. But I think there's a difference obviously between not supporting an order on policy grounds and finding it unconstitutional. I do not think it's unconstitutional. I think the Supreme Court will uphold it even if Gorsuch is not yet on the Supreme Court. But if he does make it there in time then it will be a clearer victory for the Trump administration in the Supreme Court.

...If you can extend U.S. and Constitutional rights to “Aliens” not yet here, then the U.S. is not a sovereign state but a world givernment....

The Democrats will stoop to any depth to try to destroy the Trump Presidency. They think nothing of ignoring the law and centuries of precedent of Presidential power. For them, it’s all about Democrats losing power and not understanding why.

Dershowitz is saying once again he thinks the judges are going to rule on the merits. NONE of the Rat judges will rule on the merits. So it will be 4-4 at best. The idea a ruling can even consider campaign rhetoric is just outrageous. But here we are, they are going to rule whether it can be allowed. Roberts as the Cheif Justice should have overturned both Judges the next day for this reason alone. And what this BS you cannot criticize a judge? He is not sacred he’s just a hack ignoring the law.

Trump needs to Pack these Courts like FDR wanted to do. Or Arrest these judges and sanctuary mayors
...
Federal Immigration and Nationality Act
Section 8 USC 1324(a)(1)(A)(iv)(b)(iii)
“Any person who . . . encourages or induces an alien to . . . reside . . . knowing or in reckless disregard of the fact that such . . . residence is . . . in violation of law, shall be punished as provided . . . for each alien in respect to whom such a violation occurs . . . fined under title 18 . . . imprisoned not more than 5 years, or both.”

I’d love to see the mayors of L.A., N.Y., and Chi., arrested and doing the perp walk to some hard core prison to spend some quality time with some illegal bubbas.

There have been a surprising number of 8-1 and 9-0 decisions from this partisan court, and I believe most of them involve cases related to the proper role of different branches of government. The Obama administration lost the infamous NLRB case by a 9-0 ruling in a humiliating repudiation of his phony recess appointments.

[[The Rat-bastard judge in Hawaii will just issue another 90 day RO.]]

Or some other judge will- funny how we only see judges striking the ban down- but none coming out and ruling that the ban is legal-

>> Why hasn’t Gorsuch been confirmed? <<

John Roberts was confirmed right way. President Bush's team swore up and down that he was an "originalist" and Senate Republicans figured that was good enough and quickly rubbed stamped the appointment, giving him a lifetime job on the nation's highest court.

How'd that work out for you?

The Supreme Court will side with the judges.

F#$K the “SUPREME COURT”

Roosevelt crushed them by threatening to pack the court and the BUS DRIVER MADURO actually succeeded and remains in power in VENEZUELA by doing the same thing.

Creepy bastards making up stuff as they go along, POLITICIANS IN DISGUISE, they are #3 in the Constitution and ARE NOT CO EQUAL.

You’re opposed to the order, don’t think it will make Americans safer, Dersh? Hm. Interesting. I’m opposed to married legal snobs pulling down their pants on planes or in their friends’ homes and getting orgasms from underaged sex slaves. But what do I know about the Supreme Court?

“...with a little luck maybe Ruth Bader Ginsburg will...”

Indeed it’s “bad form”. Reminds me of the implied condemnation in telling someone “go to hell”.
Depending on one’s view, worst or best that I’ll call on Ginsburg’s head is for an event to “reach her heart and bring her closer to you”.

“why hasn’t Gorsuch been confirmed?”

The Senate is controlled by the GOP. No sense of urgency and many out of control egos characterize the party. The leadership identifies more with the opposition and powerful financial interests than the conservative voter base. Mitch McConnell and the party leadership is deliberately slow walking the Trump agenda.

Let’s see the cr** the Schumer pulls....so far, he’s said he doesn’t trust the guy.....but believe he voted for his confirmation previously. And since when is this a vote based on personal feelings.”””

Gee- I wonder what the results would be if a major poll was taken about who trusts Schumer?

You’re entitled to your opinion even if it is 100% wrong.

I’m with Dersh and Judge Napolitano. The law regarding the President’s leeway on immigration is so clear that a 10 year old could understand. The Supremes will uphold Trump.

God Bless the USMC.

I would really like to see some of these sanctuary city politicians charged with violations of Title 18; also, if the timid Repubos in the House would actually grow a spine, they could start impeachment proceedings against this Hawaii judge and that other miscreant in Seattle.
