Judge James Robart, appointed by President George Bush in 2003, ruled the ban would be halted temporarily nationwide, effective immediately.

The move presents a fresh legal challenge for the Trump administration, which is expected to appeal against the decision promptly.

You’re right of course but it shows the MSM is still powerful, if the truth of the EO was covered fairly approval would be at 75% easy. But they think they finally have a winner to kill Trumps support and going to play it for all it’s worth
Muslim ban indeed BS

I really want to understand this, how can we be required to take refugees from anywhere?

Today, Tucker Carlson was interviewing some lawyer guy defending the federal judge's block on the travel ban. Lawyer guy saying it was unconstitutionally blocking the traveler's rights, so the ban had to go. Tucker pounced on the guy, saying how can you give constitutional rights to a foreigner?

The lawyer guy doubled down, saying even though they're foreigners that they have rights not to be banned.

Tucker counters they're not even in our country, being enroute, and you want to give them constitutional rights? So that means we can't do anything against foreign terrorists in other countries because they have our constitutional rights? That's nuts.

The lawyer guy kept talking over Tucker's responses, and Tucker ended the interview. These leftist judges are crazy, assigning rights to foreigners on foreign soil as if they were American citizens here in our country. Absolutely nuts.

Thanks, Steelfish.

Even I can read this and understand how it disintegrates before reaching the ground.

Go Trump.

"The words “muslim” or “islam” or any derivative word are not in the EO'

Exactly . . . yet it appears we are allowing the opposition to control the narrative.

I liked it when President Trump tweeted saying call it what you want . . . its about keeping bad people from doing bad things in this country!

“Otherwise, this has to go to the 9th circus, and then to a split SC. Run the clock out so to speak.”

Ahh, this guy is from the 9th circus. There is the strategy if Trump goes for appeal then its over permanently. We know how 9th will rule then the SC which is at best 4-4 which means the 9th decision stands. So Trump will lose the right to do this period.

Looks like Justice Dept will file for a stay. That would mean everything goes on hold. It would take more then 90 days to go through court system. That would actually be better then the EO.

People seem to think that their emotions are law, and they fully believe the lies they tell themselves.

This judge obviously isn’t dealing in law.

If federal judges are just going to be unelected tyrants, I’d just as soon not have them around.

Well this is and has been the problem for a long time Judges defying law and ruling by personal views often tossing out millions of votes when it suits them. Seems like Trump is going to play the game not that l know if he has any viable alternative.

 Customs and Border Protection told US airlines that it’s reinstating visas following a federal judge’s halt to Trump’s travel ban.

People have already entered from Iran this evening.

“People have already entered from Iran this evening.”

Yes l saw that too. So much for telling the Judge that he overstepped his authority which he did. Very disappointing so now what should be a Presidential perogative is allowed to be dictated by the f-ing judges again.
