A federal appeals court judge says President Donald Trump has the authority to block foreign travelers and courts must defer to the president’s judgment in decisions about who should be allowed in the United States.

Judge Jay Bybee of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said in court documents filed Wednesday that his appeals court colleagues were wrong when they refused to immediately reinstate Trump’s original travel ban. …

To establish standing to bring the suit in Federal Court, the Hawaii state AG used the argument that Hawaii state tourism would be impacted by the executive order and thus the state has standing to bring the suit.

Made me conjure up images of of a guy with a beard wearing a suicide snorkel.

“as they can maintain their “power” by stopping Trump”

This is what many are failing to see. Liberals know why Trump was elected and border/national security was the #1 issue. These activists are STOPPING THE WILL OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, Trump is irrelevant.

Trump is relevant...Trump represents the “will of the people”...Stopping Trump, to the “elitists”, effectively stops the will of the people...

Trump is the first president in a long time that has the welfare of the people on his mind...he and a very few others in Washington are all there is...

That damn place needs cleaned out badly....

That is such a BS argument... if one state can have standing to challenge the POTUS on grounds of tourism impact, then all 50 states have standing to challenge the POTUS on the same grounds, and the president has no real authority to limit immigration on national security grounds and must in fact demonstrate to the court that the national security interest outweighs the economic interest of the state challenging POTUS actions PRIOR to any limitations. Absurd. Anyway, what the hell does standing have to do with jurisdiction anyway?!

Then why does DJT not let Sessions loose on this sordid affair? I hope that Trump will not play the same game that GWB played by keeping quiet and not defending himself.

Duh. Maybe there is at least one Federal judge who has the smallest clue about actual USA law.

I am not being critical of Trump when I say he is irrelevant. We, the people are the targets, the liberals saw an uprising in this election and we must be stopped.

Stopping Trump weakens we, the people’s “political” power, but it will not stop what could happen because of that....

“What is the practical value of this judge's opinion?”
****************************************************************
It shows that he KNOWS, and is telling the world, that the political partisans serving on the 9th Circuit Court were engaging in extra-Constitutional judicial usurpation when they wrote their original stay. He's “calling them out” and letting the universe of federal judges know that not all will simply stand by and support such usurpation. And he's providing the rationale supporting a 7-2 Supreme Court decision that the President has the power that Trump exercised.

I'M PROUD OF THIS JUDGE.

As I read the article this is an opinion by a judge not a decision of the court.
