BREAKING NEWS: Federal appeals court REFUSES to reinstate Donald Trump's travel ban
Daily Mail ^ | 2-9-2017 | Staff

Posted on 02/09/2017 3:38:15 PM PST by brucedickinson

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.

The swamp was always bigger than simply the politicians. The entire judiciary has become infested with Marxists.

The Ninth Circuit's decision is here (PDF, 29 pages). Unanimous, for what that's worth.

Republicans push bill to split up ‘nutty 9th Circuit’

As judges on the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals weigh the legality of President Trump’s 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. It’s 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 don’t have it.”

Flake says it typically takes the court 15 months to hand down a decision. “It’s 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 Flake’s 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.

Tucker Carlson used to wear bow ties, but I get your point.

He looks like an idiot.

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.

“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.

I just heard on Fox.

The 9th Circuit ruling should be null and void because they didn't sign it!
