The Left has fallen for every one of his traps so far... I agree.

The most important thing right now is solidifying crossover Dems against the RATS. Public sentiment needs to demand that the Left back off, and every senator up in ‘18 needs to be nailed to the wall NOW for supporting this ‘judges’ order and their upcoming attempted assassination of Sessions.

To: txhurl; Mr. Douglas
I suspect this was a trap set for the judiciary from the very initiation of the EO.

Even among the most rabid liberals, they recognize their power from utilizing the court system to either block/initiate social change has always been tenuous at best. In other words, they too understand that judicial review is merely an asserted function, not one actually enumerated in the constitution. To that effect, it has therefore always been critical that a direct one-on-one confrontation with either Congress or the executive be avoided.

Perhaps the ultimate irony of this entire exercise is that Trump is merely carrying out the law as legislated by Congress. His EO isn't a novel interpretation or overreach, but simply a function of carrying out his executive responsibilities. He has every right to completely ignore any judicial overreach in this case. One can only imagine a Congress that would even contemplate impeachment in a passing fancy by elevating the court above their own stature.

I encourage everyone to read & study the Constitution. It isn't a mistake or coincidence that the responsibilities and duties of Congress is covered in Art I in extensive detail. Then comes the executive in II, and then a very brief description of the judiciary role in Art III.

The People, as represented by Congress, are the ultimate arbitrators of their own fate. This relationship with government was resolved in the English civil war that predates and influences our constitution. That an inferior, 3rd ranked tier of the balance of power would have the temerity to assert a superior position is both ludicrous and outrageous.

Trump is going to win bigly, and thereby demonstrate where the court system actually stands.
