This ruling is in direct contravention to the Constitutional requirement that, The United States shall protect each of [the states] against Invasion (Article IV, Section 4) which should have trumped the TRO (illegal and potentially dangerous immigration is invasion). Maybe the feds should give notice why these proceedings are an unconstitutional block on constitutional necessary and proper federal action and ignore the ruling and block the immigrants.
The case in the Robart court in Washington wasnt a good faith challenge to the merits of Trumps EO but a move to issue a temporary restraining order (TRO) which was issued in bad faith IMO since no irreparable harm was shown to validate a TRO. Its a TRO//restraining order hearing where theyre arguing the merits of the EO instead of proving the need for a TRO/restraining order and they have failed to do so as I see it. Freaking Leftist courts.
The U.S. Code Title 8, Chapter 12 statue appears to be contradictory because of U.S.C. 1152 (a)(1)(a) (anti-discrimination clause) which is being used in these challenges. Congress needs to clean that up.
Nevertheless, Article IV, Section 4 absolutely trumps the valid or invalid TRO/restraining order.
I don't see how Article IV Section 4 applies at all. This has nothing to do with ensuring a republican form of government for the states, and there is no invasion or threat of invasion to the United States.
