The Trump administration said Friday it will ask the Supreme Court to block a federal judge’s ruling limiting the scope of President Trump’s travel ban.
“The Supreme Court has had to correct this lower court once, and we will now reluctantly return directly to the Supreme Court to again vindicate the rule of law and the executive branch's duty to protect the nation,” Attorney General
Jeff Sessions said in a statement.
The decision came
one day after a Hawaii-based judge dealt Trump a defeat by ordering the government to expand the number of people who are exempt from the controversial ban.
U.S. District Judge Derrick Watson, who was appointed by former President
Barack Obama, said the Trump administration did not abide by a Supreme Court ruling that allowed a partial version of the ban to take effect.
The government began to allow residents of six Muslim-majority nations with immediate family in the U.S. to enter the country. Watson said those criteria were too narrow.
Watson was one of the federal judges who issued a nationwide injunction blocking the initial ban, as well as a revised version.

Dear President Trump. Do what Obama did and ignor the judge.
The msm didn’t say a word every time the Marxist Muslim did it.

Trump should exempt Hawaii from the ban and allow every terrorist refugee to enter that state but restrict any travel to the other 49 states (or other 56 state for you Obama voters).

The President should order a total, zero influx ban from the SC approved countries until he gets SC further guidance.

Why would Sessions put the word “reluctantly” in his statement? It implies a lack of confidence in his position.

All the reason to fight. Why? Because we are watching. We are tired of milquetoast professional politicians.

This is the problem. These countries are singled out because vetting is difficult there and actual records limited. Anyone could claim anyone is a cousin without adequate documentation.

But, but our Moron faction is claiming Sessions is doing nothing but breathing.

Check the number of Democrats in the Senate for a clue. Congress will never take action on Impeachment.
