THESE GODDAM STATE JUDGES OVERRULING PRESIDENTIAL ORDERS ARE PISSING ME OFF
He’s a federal district judge in the 9th Circuit, not a state court judge.
Any of those people allowed in and wind up killing Americans those judges should be held as accessory to murder.
Ninth isn’t a great pedigree. Who appointed him?
Obama appointee.
Oh. He will likely find for Obama’s invaders, then.
How is it that a federal judge, a member of the “co-equal” judiciary branch, has the power to issue any ruling whatsoever on an order issued by the co-equal president or on a law passed by congress and signed by the president?
How is it that an un-elected person is more co-equal than the other two branches of government?
Can a president overturn a judge’s ruling? No.
Can the congress overturn a judges ruling? No.
How is it that a judge can do anything other than apply the law as written on a case that happens to be before his court?
It seems to me that the un-elected branch of government has considerably more power than both of the elected branches combined.
The President should have another EO ready to issue within minutes of any adverse ruling.
Did Trump get a COMPETENT lawyer out there to argue his case this time?
Did Trump get a COMPETENT lawyer out there to argue his case this time?
Don’t know. The Justice Department is a mess right now due to the firing of so many US attorneys and no replacements in sight.
Bet he’s consulting with whoever gets the appeal to his ruling.
So the whole nation has to abide by a court ruling in Hawaii.... Doesn’t sound representative
yell ya what....too many of the black robe crowd have God complexes
No. It would only apply to Hawaii.
That's what they are doing, although not always correctly. Remember, the constitution also counts as "the law as written".
