If they do it will be for one and only one reason.
Because they are soiling their britches at the thought of what will happen to them if there IS a terror attack.
Trump will hang it around their necks like a flock of albatrosses.
Trump has set a trap for the 9th Court.
If they say he exceeded his authority, most of Obama’s did also and then by default, are invalid.
If they rule in favor, it means that any Executive Order can be invalidated by a new Administration.
I suspect the 9th Circus is trying to create a ruling that keeps either of these possibilities from happening.
If they are not releasing a statement today, that can only be because they are not going to grant a stay. This is a judicial coup!
But what seems much more likely is that the Court didn't buy the national security argument. Otherwise the stay would have been lifted by now with an opinion to follow.
Instead they are probably tidying up their opinion knowing the scrutiny that is coming. And setting the table for the lefties at the Supreme Court.
Plus, today the judges might receive a list of names of terrorists from those seven countries. Per Liz Clayman, it’s a “secret list” that was just released.
If you’ve DVRed, and you’re able go to the top of the hour (3:00 Eastern), the info is there.
Hannity just said the court will not be ruling today.
What absolutely pisses me off is that they claim they will lose hi tech employees from these countries!
Give me a freakin break!
How dumb do they think Americans are?
We all know its about foreign tuition coming in faster than Americans. They want compliant workforce drones who are paying top dollar to come into America and which coincidentally could be future democrats.
Mr. President, please put a stop to it!
The 9th Circuit is in San Francisco..AKA, lib stronghold. I dont expect these libs to rule in Trump’s favor but if they do I’ll be shocked
If i had to guess I would say they're going to drag this out as long as humanly possible to do what they believe will be the worst political damage to President Trump.
It won't work. The media is in a full throated roar against Trump. It's all they got. They're worried that Trump's policies and ideas will be wildly popular if implemented. They should be worried.
The 9th circus based in SanFag sicko???bwahahahahahayhahahaha ! They’ll dance on Kate Steinle’s grave!
I'm not a lawyer, but I can tell you that a court isn't supposed to weigh in on whether a law or rule is "needed".
Aren’t these the same morons who want gun control??? What a schizophrenic world view ...
According to the pundits on FNC last night, the guy sent over by the Department of Justice wasn’t well prepared...they did not hold out a lot of cause for optimism that the judges would find in favor of Trump.
I did not think that the Justice Dept. Lawyer did very well. He was pretty ineffectual. When asked directly if the view on their right of review, he hedged and stuttered and mumbled. The correct answer is that the President’s power in this matter is constitutionally his as well as the legislation.
The statute reads that the President may take such action when in his opinion it is warranted. The Judiciary has no business is this matter. They can review the statute to see if it is constitutional, but that is not the question before them.
The idea that one district court can put all the other districts in jeopardy is truly an overreach.
My 2 cents. The 9th is meeting behind closed doors to try to come up with some form of judicial activism convoluted logic that says that the Executive order is illegal and unconstitutional. That is what the two states charged. For the AG to declare this unconstitutional, he argued that the by identifying 7 mostly Muslim Countries, he created a State religion and that is forbidden by the Constitution. Say what? The 9th will come up with something really convoluted and that will sever as the basis for all judicial confirmation hearings of any Trump judicial appointment. While I pray that there will not be any form of terrorist attack, if there is one, I hope that the District judge and the 9th Circuit judges are presented with a tantÅ and asked to do the “right thing.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seppuku
