Ye, My Friends, the man in my opinion, is a "So-Called Judge," just like the "So-called, Doctor" or "So-called Plumber" who services you, and you realize in ten minutes that they're incompetent.

The best part of the article is this tidbit.

It is worth noting, by the way, that although Judge Robart prattles on about about “wisdom,” “vigilant recognition,” “proper legal standards,” etc., those qualities are conspicuously lacking in the text of his order. As Scott Johnson observed at Powerline, Robart’s order was “entirely conclusory,” i.e., all assertion, no argument. The attorneys general of a couple of blue states (Washington and Minnesota) prevailed upon him to cook up the order as if it were a batch of instant oatmeal: just add hubris and serve. Wrote Johnson:

"If the order had been submitted to me when I was teaching legal writing at the University of St. Thomas Law School in Minneapolis I would have agonized over whether to award it a D- for satisfying the the formal requirements (barely) or flunk it outright. At American Thinker, Ed Straker finds the order wanting. Ed’s assertions are at least arguable; the judge’s decision makes no arguments. "

Liberals from the top down won’t acknowledge or enforce the laws they don’t like. This is nothing exceptional for them. Business as as usual.

“Fundamental to the work of this court is a vigilant recognition that it is but one of three equal branches of our federal government. The work of the court is not to create policy or judge the wisdom of any particular policy promoted by the other two branches. “

Which is funny, as that fat Bass Turd offered Zero legal opinion for his ruling....

Why would this flimsy ruling go to SCOTUS? They have already ruled on this previously. There are multiple precedents for upholding the ban. Most likely even the 9th will overturn.

Trump should just issue a slightly different order. Perhaps ban travel from 8 countries this time. Make the lefties start the process all over again. If they get another restraining order, issue another slightly reworked order.

Trump’s pen can work faster than the courts. Take advantage of that.
