The temporary restraining order against President Trumps executive order is still in effect, as you probably know. Josh Blackman has a good analysis of the ruling on his website, which I would recommend reading. There are a number of fascinating and disturbing elements of this decision, including the imposition of a no evidence standard upon the Trump administration.
Although some are attempting to put the best face on what is a sweeping, unprecedented ruling, the truth is that we are entering uncharted waters. We have the largest circuit court in the federal system essentially erasing the plenary power doctrine as it relates to immigration maters.
The fact that the administration was intentionally hamstrung in its appeal is irrelevant in the larger context, i.e. we are dealing with a federal judiciary thats unwilling to recognize Congressional and presidential authority to execute immigration law. Whats more, the reasoning, such as it is, behind this decision is so shoddy that it would be laughable if the consequences werent so dire...

What are those anyway?
Trump is in control of all of the agencies though.
Order them to ignore an unconstitutional ruling and enforce his immigration order. The GOP isn’t going to impeach.
F em all.
Any restrictions on which EOs Trump cannot strike down? Target rich environment.
Here’s a good one:
OBAMA UNLEASHES INTERNATIONAL COPS ON UNITED STATES

Unchartered. I will read more tomorrow. Thanks for posting.
You’re welcome.
Those are the women who have anchor babies.
Trump needs to put out on Facebook the entire statute, showing precisely why the court order is illegal. And then order the entire Executive Branch to enforce the law.
This is a stunning display of Judicial violation of the Law. They should all be arrested and locked up for treason and sedition.
Notice how Trump keeps a dozen controversies going at once? Notice that the Democrats get no traction as a result? Seems to me previous Republicans would pick a single fight at a time, and “stay on message.” This maximized the effectiveness of the Democrats’ propaganda.

LOL! Thank you. I needed a good laugh.
Heh.
I think he did that regarding the statute.
IMO Trump has two choices. First fire all of Obama’s generals and put his own in. Then declare martial law and arrest some traitors in the ckngess and judiciary. Right now there are two co-eqhal branches if government and the executive isn’t one of them.
His other choice is to announce That the people are going to have to help him replace most of Congress. And until that is done there’s nothing he can do. The bullies have teamed up against America and won’t stop until they own the play ground.
One thing I don’t understand...
The restraining order blocks 5a-c and 5e. But 5d says 50,000 refugees is detrimental to the US and halts it! And that wasn’t blocked?
Am I reading it wrong. Or is the refugee program blocked in it’s entirety?
Of course, restraining order against 3c stops the travel ban.
Headlines say refugees are flooding in from the 7 states. But are they refugees are people who already had visas?

....Heck then all of the legal wrangling can take place with the Old one tieing up the liberal legal assets .... While at the same time the new properly edited one would be in effect protecting the nation by preventing the flood of bad elements into the country.
There's even a part of a decision where they explain why it's impossible for them to simply strike down individual allegedly problematic parts.
