A federal appeals court in San Francisco ruled to not reinstate President Donald Trump's ban on travelers from seven predominantly Muslim nations.
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals argued the government, including Trump's White House, did not show it was likely to win an appeal and also articulated that the state of Washington had standing because its state universities suffered harm from the executive order.
The appeals court was looking at a lower-court ruling that suspended the ban and allowed previously barred travelers to enter the U.S.
An appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court is possible.
U.S. District Judge James Robart in Seattle issued a temporary restraining order halting the ban last week after Washington state and Minnesota sued. The ban temporarily suspended the nation's refugee program and immigration from countries that have raised terrorism concerns.

Judge James Robart of San Francisco. I've never known a straight man to wear a bow tie.
Trump already tweeted “See you in court”
it’s headed to the SCOTUS
You saying this isn't a manly man?
The swamp was always bigger than simply the politicians. The entire judiciary has become infested with Marxists.
So the Courts are no responsible for the borders...

Republicans push bill to split up nutty 9th Circuit

As judges on the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals weigh the legality of President Trumps immigration executive order, a Republican push to split up the controversial court — and shrink its clout — is gaining steam on Capitol Hill.
Republican Sens. Jeff Flake and John McCain of Arizona introduced legislation last month to carve six states out of the San Francisco-based court circuit and create a brand new 12th Circuit.
They argue that the 9th is too big, too liberal and too slow resolving cases. If they succeed, only California, Oregon, Hawaii and two island districts would remain in the 9th’s judicial fiefdom.
Right now, Flake said, the circuit is far too sprawling. It represents 20 percent of the population — and 40 percent of the land mass is in that jurisdiction. Its just too big, Flake told Fox News on Wednesday. We have a bedrock principle of swift justice and if you live in Arizona or anywhere in the 9th Circuit, you just dont have it.
Flake says it typically takes the court 15 months to hand down a decision. Its far too long, he added.
Conservatives have mocked the 9th Circuit for years, often calling it the Nutty 9th or the 9th Circus, in part because so many of its rulings have been overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court.
Under Flakes bill, the new circuit would cover Nevada, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Arizona and Alaska, leaving the 9th with three Pacific states as well as the Northern Mariana Islands and Guam.
A separate House version introduced by Rep. Andy Biggs and four other Arizona Republicans would leave Washington state in the 9th Circuit.

Pee-Wee Herman.
Tucker Carlson used to wear bow ties, but I get your point.

We crossed a point, and waded into the murky waters of Midnight Cash Pallets and Learjet meetings.

Well, lot of us guys used to wear them to class in our Catholic high school which required jacket and ties. It was far easier to put on and take off quickly than a long tie.
As to the photo of the judge, well simply put, he looks like a blithering idiot.
Court in effect ruled we must be attacked FIRST. Further it would not exclude those here ILLEGALLY from these terror countries because they have due process rights!
Well you're wrong.
No srprise that the Arch-Leftist Ninth Circus makes yet another unlawful, politically motivated decision. The Circus doesnt uphold law, rhe pull it from their Zprogressive asses.
“See you in court” isn’t good enough. TRUMP NEEDS TO MAKE IT CLEAR THAT THE DEMONRATS SACRIFICED AMERICANS SAFETY TO APPEASE FOREIGNERS WITH NO CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS.
US court system sucks.
If he gets Alzheimer his IQ would jump 100 points.
The 9th Circuit ruling should be null and void because they didn't sign it!
