We previously wrote how the State of Hawaii (with co-plaintiff Dr. Ismail Elshikh) struck out in Hawaii federal court and in the 9th Circuit, in seeking “clarification” of how Trump’s Travel Order No. 2 was to be implemented in light of the prior court injunctions and the Supreme Court’s substantial overruling of those injunctions:
Judge Denies Hawaii request to halt Trump admin interpretation of SCOTUS Travel Order ruling 9th Circuit DENIES Hawaii request for Emergency Injunction over Trump Travel Order.
The key problem identified by the court was the Hawaii’s request for “clarification” was not proper. The District Court ruled that if Hawaii wanted clarification of a Supreme Court Order, it should seek such clarification from the Supreme Court.....
And sure enough, Hawaii late Friday night filed a new request, a Motion to Enforce or Alternatively Modify (pdf.) the District Court’s prior injunction, and a supporting Declaration (pdf.). Full copies of each are embedded at the bottom of this post. The Court entered an Order on the docket:
The Court is in receipt of Plaintiffs’ Motion to Enforce or, In the Alternative, to Modify Preliminary Injunction. Dkt. No. 328. Defendants shall file their opposition by Tuesday, July 11, 2017.

A judge should slap them with sanctions for filing a frivolous lawsuit.
Hawaii is turning into an outsized pain in the ass. Cut it loose from the union and sell it to the highest bidder.
Our federal tax dollars, fighting our federal tax dollars...
The Supreme Court has spoken on this Now STFU!
They are ensuring that SCOTUS delivers a no-doubt-about-it smackdown when the full case is heard this Fall.
This court is pretending that these relatives get automatic entry without vetting. They do not. They must be vetted, and it must be absolute assurance that results from that vetting. The USA is not under court order to admit a “son” if that son is a suspected terrorist or is unable to give valid assurance that he is not.
That takes time.
The restriction is for only 90 to 120 days.
When all in-laws and all secondary or tertiary kin are added, it clearly swamps the government’s ability to perform extreme vetting...which must be done.
Nor can Hawaii claim that the fed can expand its extreme vetting resources in Syria (for example) — with training both on this side and expansion of Syrian resources on that side — in such a short period of time as 90 to 120 days.
Therefore, the Trump admin’s list is really more a prioritized listing of those near kin that can be handled, given the time constraints, as it is a listing of those who are banned. IOW, if you’re a number 1 priority you’re in a better position than a number 6 priority, and you’re certainly better off than a number 14 priority that didn’t make the top 7 list.
Anyone who’s ever flown military standby knows all about being on a priority list. Active duty families get priority over old, retired vacationers. Tough, but the logic of it makes sense.

I think we need new leaders in both houses of congress.
Along with a bunch of new followers.
The White House should counter file with a “litigious harassment” suit.
This is when AG Sessions is supposed to file an official complaint for “abuse of process” against the Lawyers involved and let the BAR association DISBAR them.
For gawd’s sakes, Hawaiians, WAKE UP
These idiots are wasting your tax dollars
