Trump administration won’t appeal ruling against immigration order to the Supreme Court
Washington Post ^ | 10 Feb 17 | Washington Post Staff

Posted on 02/10/2017 3:13:46 PM PST by SkyPilot

The Trump administration can wage a legal battle in the lower courts to address more squarely whether the president's immigration directive violates the Constitution. The White House is also mulling whether to rewrite the executive order. No matter what, the administration faces a difficult fight to restore the ban.

This is a developing story. It will be updated.

Hey, “Dream On” Steven Tyler LOL......

I agree with you 100%.

Ignore the 9th Circuit request for En Banc Write a new absolutely lock proof Administrative Order and drive it like a mac truck.

BREAKING: Minutes after one White House official said the Trump administration would not appeal a 9th Circuit ruling upholding a temporary stay of the travel ban, White House chief of staff Reince Priebus said the White House is “reviewing all of our options in the court system,” including possibly going to the Supreme Court.

Halting all immigration would make it worse in the eyes the idiot 9th ciruit. They already said that state universities were harmed by inability to recruit and hire overseas. If all immigration is stopped, the harm is even greater, in their ill-informed judicial view.

Better to issue a departmental directive to Customs that all visa applications must be reviewed by the President. Slow it to a crawl.

Jail the judges for judicial over reach. Make it a national security issue and send them to Guantanamo.

The Justice Dept. has no enforcement ability.

They can bitch & moan all they want, but they still can’t enforce what they say.

It was my pleasure. The theory is that the more judges, the better the odds.

Exactly. There is nothing to adjudicate, the judicial branch has no authority over this EO. The Immigration and Nationality Act is very clear.

Melania is such an improvement over Michelle. I’m sure we won’t see her in torn, raggedy cutoff shorts.

“Halt all immigration for 90 days while vetting system put in place..unless you have a green card.that takes care of it”

Now that’s a “compromise” we can all live with.

“Raise the ante. Expand the scope and duration.

Lower the yearly refugee and immigrant visa numbers some more. There seems to be nothing they can do about that.

doesn’t he by doing so leave the rulings of the court as precedent?

9th Circuit ruled on WH stay request issued by the WA judge not the issue.

Because Trump called the bluff.

The panel essentially took over the country and gave everybody on the planet rights under our constitution.

The expected result was that Trump would appeal, the Supremes overturn the 9th but slap Trump’s wrist. If Gorsuch was on the court at the time of the reversal, Dems scream bloody murder and demand a more “moderate” judge when the next Supreme quits or croaks.

Trump said, “OK, dummies, I won’t appeal, good luck with that” and they now need a way to back out.

Trump will make them say that they were wrong, in a very public manner. It will make it much, much harder for judicial activists to oppose Trump in the future.

Trump has great big brass ones, that’s for sure.

Quite possibly. The rest of the judges on the 9th circuit may also have just realized that the next terrorist attack on US soil is blood on their hands.

Nothing will save this menagerie of communist retards calling themselves the “Ninth Circuit” from being destroyed.

Congress and Trump have the power to break up this jackal pack, the party is over.

Yep - no way it gets to SCOTUS before Gorsuch is seated.
