Chris Matthews criticizes 9th Circuit ruling on multiple grounds.
Flying pig alert to Liberal Media Criticism list.
But it will allow the judges to continue getting invites to beautiful people parties, so no worries.
I was making the point to Mrs. Thinking this morning about this (Trump bias at court). The last four POTI have placed a total of 42 holds, and noone said a word. Ebola did it more than any of the others, even. And then the law that explicitly says in so many words the Admin has the authority to do this. It’s all about what they feel about Trump personally.
He’s a liberal, but more of an old-school liberal than a new-school antifa jackboot/snowflake.
A judge who ignores the law is a so-called judge
Another problem with the ruling that no one mentions is that Trump’s case, which is based on a Conservative interpretation of the Constitution, was prepared by employees of the U.S. Department of Justice who are overwhelmingly Leftist.
I don’t know anything about the lead DOJ attorney, maybe he is actually a Conservative.
But a great general has very little value if his troops refuse to fight.
Two things jump out at me about the two appeals.
(1) The issue of “standing,” which is of paramount importance in federal cases, was never even discussed by the DOJ attorneys.
(2) The statute that outlines the president’s immigration powers could not be more clear. But, the DOJ attorneys never even asked the appellate judges what Constitutional principles were violated by the Executive Order.
I just saw a pig fly by my window................
If Obama had made this executive order would the results have been the same? Obviously no.
