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.

If the Supreme Court allows this to stand, they risk taking the entire federal fucking judiciary down the crapper. Americans are going to die as a result of this evil decision which is contrary to Constitution and duly-enacted law. The fury of the people will not be contained.
You just nailed what happened.
In the meantime can he suspend from ALL countries until such time as this whole issue is settled since people might be coming in and it would, therefore, be in the interests of our safety?
“There should be an open season on removing them.”........
I anticipate said 9th circuit judges will be experiencing a variety of difficulties in the near future. Car problems, torched garages (or worse). A civil war is rapidly approaching and will not have a pretty ending.
America is no longer America, instead we are no better than the 3rd world countries people are leaving. Why come here, it will be the same as where they left within a year if the mass migration is NOT stopped.
Not surprised. This order will only strengthen the resolve of Trump
supporters and bring more working class voters to Trump.
Time to start shooting is at hand.
Right now this is a job for SCOTUS.
This is all these damned universities. Page 28 I quoted above. Here is page 10:
Specifically, the States allege that the teaching and research missions of their universities are harmed by the Executive Orders effect on their faculty and students who are nationals of the seven affected countries. These students and faculty cannot travel for research, academic collaboration, or for personal reasons, and their families abroad cannot visit.
Some have been stranded outside the country, unable to return to the universities at all. The schools cannot consider attractive student candidates and cannot hire faculty from the seven affected countries, which they have done in the past.
Just exactly what was the vote and the ruling? This story is a space filler with nothing new
There is no reason to slight Gilda Radner like that.
We are now officially in a constitutional crisis. The court has essentially just overturned statute law, historical precedent, prior Supreme Court rulings, and the Constitution.
It's imperative that the President go on national television with his top cabinet members and read out the relevant laws and constitutional clauses which grant the President the full and unambiguous authority to ban travel from any nation when he feels it's in the national security interest to do so.
The court is in a state of insurrection and must be brought to heel by whatever means are necessary, before our nation suffers harm, due to their malfeasance.
If Trumps big plan is/was to take this to SCOTUS? Well, then we got the wrong President.
Come back this evening or tomorrow with a new EO that satisfies the language of whatever, then you tell them to get stuffed.
If we’re going to leave our borders wide ass open until we have a stalemate SC review this? Well, then the fix is in...
The FAKE Court of Appeals made its ruling!
i’m sure george soros paid them off
How about wording one that doesnt apply to the states of WA and MN?
Trump should track every single immigrant from those countries and inform the public of any illegal or Terrorist act.
Ageeed. Either he totally bothched this, or he has an EO in his back pocket that was the idea from the get go.
Tonight we “border on chaos”
You said it well. I hope he reads Free Republic and takes up your suggestion!!!!

Funny how the 9th Circus thought it fine when Obama did it.
