A federal appeals court has maintained the freeze on President Trumps controversial immigration order, meaning previously barred refugees and citizens from seven Muslim-majority countries can continue entering the U.S.
A panel with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit upheld the ruling of U.S. District Judge James Robart, who had decided Friday that Trumps temporary travel ban should be put on hold. The Department of Homeland Security soon suspended all enforcement of Trumps controversial directive.
The Justice Department, representing the Trump administration, could now ask the Supreme Court which often defers to the president on matters of immigration and national security to intervene. The Supreme Court, though, remains one justice short, and many see it as ideologically split 4-4. A tie would keep in place whatever the appeals court decides.

What is sad is seeing you surrender so quickly. The is just the beginning of the fight.
“This is just the beginning of the fight”
That depends on whether or not you believe the GOP leadership wants to get rid of Trump, elevate Pence, and install Ryan as VP.
If you believe THAT, then all you need do is bait Trump into defying a court order, and the fight is almost over.
Fake decision from the fake judges.
Law is so clear, a 5 year old can understand it.
Dem judges would declare the Constitution unconstitutional given half a chance.
No Dem is qualified to be in office.
This EO applies to all travel from those 7 countries. Many can be vetted quickly, some can can be vetted eventually. For those who we are unable to vet after a designated period of time, the order should send them back home, or deport them to Canada.
It is better to say that the Constitution grants the President has wide ranging authority when it comes to foreign relations. Specifically, when it comes to granting access (including issuing visas) to aliens, statutes have given him full authority to exclude people and classes of people who the President has determined to be a threat to the United States. That is precisely what President Trump has done.
What do you think the definition of “invasion” is?
Yes. Assad was talking about the “refugees.”
And if he can figure a way, starting with the 9th circuit court of appeals. Obviously they can’t read the Constitution.

That is what I would due is advise my embassies not to issue any more visa’s or Passports from those countries..
Far as I’m concerned they could disband the 9th and impeach all the judges..
This so-called “ruling” essentially mean that the President is no longer in charge of securing our borders.
Geez, dude...take it down a notch.
Sessions is now in charge of the DOJ. He has a unique perspective due to his experience as a US Attorney and as a Senator focused on immigration issues. He's the guy to have directing this,
I wouldn't have to take it up a notch if you'd simply communicate in complete thoughts. I'm not a mind reader.

I think he'll be a great asset in this situation, and in achieving the President's overall law and order goals.
I suggested to my wife he do a ban on Syria, and then add some random countries into mix, say like Germany, the Vatican, and maybe the Sudan. Just pick a few and put a ban on them with no explanation whatsoever other than it is his prerogative. And then add a country to the list each week. My wife thought that would make him a dictator.
lol
