Stick it to the unlawful 9th Court.
The 9th circus created a roadmap for the Trump admin!! Go President Trump!!!!
Maybe they need to write it at a 6th grade level-”See Spot run”...So Liberals can GET it.
Call me old-fashioned but with majorities on each side of Congress why aren’t they being enlisted to write an airtight law that obviates an EO?
I am beyond sick of the modern incarnation of the House and Senate as merely the Greek chorus for The Imperial Presidency and sick of seeing them on my TV. The Capitol rotunda is 100x busier than either chamber.
Could a pro Trump state AG take these new orders to a more conservative court to affirm?
Section (d) All applications for immigrant visas must be engraved on plates made of 99.999% pure titanium.
I would like all muzzies kept out of the country. This doesn’t go far enough.
This must be what Trump’s press conference coming up is about.
I hope he nails it, because otherwise we’re well and truly....
He has the opportunity to absolutely kick the left in the nuts today, and show he means business. I hope he does that...
If he meanwhile talks about taking this to the SC, and the “process”, we may as well bring out muskets...
Trump shouild never appoint a Federal Judge that isn’t a known, dyed-in-the-wool, conservative. No more letting ‘Rat Senators have a hand in the selection. Watch out for GOPee Senators too.
Jay Sekulow was the brilliant mind behind this. I am becoming a fan. He impressed me a lot and I will watch what he has to say in the future. Here he is on Fox:

His third point about merging the incomplete EO with the Directive outlining exemptions and reissuing the EO for relitigation is I think brilliant legally, but I have not thought through yet the optics of it.
The 9th zeroed in on the incompleteness of the EO and ignored the Directive even though the Directive was included in the brief.
Both the EO and Directive cover everything. But the 9th ignored the Directive and attacked the EO.
That’s like reviewing a trial of a woman charged with violently wielding a gun while ignoring the fact that she was defending her young children from an attacker.
It’s like handing the IRS two statements of financials, one of income and the other of expenses, and the auditor reviews the income statement and ignores the expense statement. It’s better to have income and expenses on the same page.
So Sekulow brilliantly in my view lays out a simple plan to reissue the EO with the Directive exemptions merged into it and let Washington State refile its lawsuit on the new EO.
Sekulow goes on to say that the 9th may again do their notorious song and dance to support the ‘Ban-the-Ban’ but the new EO will ensure SCOTUS shoots it down without any valid argument to not shoot it down.
Exempt green card holders and it should pass muster.
NBC will be disappointed when this so called "smarting" is short lived.
Whatever else, this precedent by the 9th must not be allowed to stand. It must not simply be circumvented, as if it were legitimate.
Let Washington state argue that blocking Yemen alone is causing them irreparable harm.
Let Washington state argue that blocking Libya alone is causing them irreparable harm.
Let Washington state argue that blocking Sudan alone is causing them irreparable harm.
And on and on.

Ugh. Courts did not blocking people from mainly enemy countries, how can it be made better? GOP POTUS now & in future will no longer control foreign & defense policy, lawyers & judges will.
Alan Dershowitz suggested this. He said it would work with a few modifications. Jonathan Turley also
Instead of 90 days,write another EO for 91 days.
Issue an executive order instituting extreme vetting for all visa applicants from every country.
It wouldn’t hurt to slow down all immigration for a while.
There has been a 40% population increase in just the last 40 years.
(probably even more if the true number of illegals was counted)
That has been far too much of an increase to assimilate in that time.
And that is why we now have areas that are more like Haiti, Tijuana, Mogadishu and Fallujah than Main Street America.
No visa, no entry.
