Not only did that judge have no legal right to issue the proclamation he did, but no court has jurisdiction over an EO declared by a sitting President.
Now he's been bamboozled into thinking that he has to abide by the crooked corrupt 9th circuit decision to stop his perfectly legal and applicable Executive order
Alexander Hamilton agrees with this.
This is all a big farce, it's #fakenews. The judicial has no power to attack the president the way they are.
In Federalist Paper #78, Alexander Hamilton stated, in part:Trump and his people need to enforce the ban and ignore the court challenges as they have NO RIGHT to do so."It proves incontestably, that the judiciary is beyond comparison the weakest of the three departments of power 1; that it can never attack with success either of the other two; and that all possible care is requisite to enable it to defend itself against their attacks. It equally proves, that though individual oppression may now and then proceed from the courts of justice, the general liberty of the people can never be endangered from that quarter; I mean so long as the judiciary remains truly distinct from both the Legislature and the Executive. For I agree, that "there is no liberty, if the power of judging be not separated from the legislative and executive powers."
2 And it proves, in the last place, that as liberty can have nothing to fear from the judiciary alone, but would have every thing to fear from its union with either of the other departments.
1. The celebrated Montesquieu, speaking of them, says: "Of the three powers above mentioned, the judiciary is next to nothing." Spirit of Laws. Vol. I, page 186.
Not an expert but after reading a bit, I think you are correct. Surely Trump knows this. He is playing along for a time. They had no standing or authority.
