Alan Dershowitz said on Fox News this morning that because court rulings against President Trump‘s travel ban are bringing up his own past rhetoric, the argument is basically, “If Obama had issued the very same order with the same words it would be constitutional, but if Trump issues it it’s unconstitutional.”
This week a federal judge in Hawaii and a district court judge in Maryland both ruled to block the revised travel ban, with the latter saying in his decision, “The history of public statements continues to provide a convincing case that the purpose of the Second Executive Order remains the realization of the long-envisioned Muslim ban.”

If the court issues a flawed ruling based on political leanings, then ignore the ruling. Why do the courts think they can make up rules to suit their politics.
Every now and then,Dershowitz really gets it right.
Gomert has a bill that will remove the courts from ruling on this it had better be moved fast
A ruling based on campaign rhetoric. Outrageous by any measure so
why hasn’t Kennedy stepped in and tossed on prejudicial grounds? The
Hawaii Judge actually said if Obongo had issued it it would have been fine.

Aren’t Federal Judges answerable to the U S Senate?
It is not true that this argument holds for any action by a Republican vs a Democrat?
According to Democrats "In God We Trust," is unconstitutional, and anything else that they believe does not fit in with their warped and twisted versions of Utopia.
Exactly. The purpose is to destroy Trump.
“Gomert has a bill that will remove the courts from ruling on this it had better be moved fast”
Absolutely, Trump will be playing whack a mole with these Judges from here on out if this isn’t taken out of thier hands.

Time to start ignoring forum-shopped federal district court judges’ orders?
It has become obvious they are partisan and purely agenda-driven.
This complete lack of respect by one branch of govt. (a lower echelon at that) for the chief executive, head of another coequal branch, is outrageous.
If President Trump does nothing, it will continue. They will block him at every turn.

As leftist as he is ,,,,I think most of his politics are pretty darned bad ,,, Dershowitz does occasionally stand up for truth. This is why I’m still willing to read some of his stuff. He deserves credit for having the courage to do this when the communistic DNC leftist revolutionaries are so consistently liars
Was obvious the legal system was gone when they ruled CO2 a pollutant. Wake me when the shooting starts.
Thank you. Kept.
They are answerable to the congress
Congress can prohibit them from ruling on a subject or implementation
