And the beat goes on.
He's the one who denied President Trump's motion to dismiss a lawsuit brought by Maryland and the District of Columbia for his alleged violation of the emoluments clauses of the U.S. Constitution, and then got smacked down hard by his own Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals.
The black robes learn how to be gods during their three years of law school.
I guess the District court judges in San Francisco and Honolulu must have had the day off. Nice to see there are back up hacks available as needed
But local governments can declare sanctuary cities and defy federal law a will.
These people are joke to put it mildly.
So the opinion of one piny judge as to what servws the public interest outweighs that of tens of millions of citizens?
This has got to stop.
Another temporary stumbling block!
For now, but not forever.
Justice Clarence Thomas has stated he doesn’t think the judges rulings should have any effect outside their own jurisdiction. Take this to the USSC.
“...clear statutory text and structure, purpose Congressional intent, executive practice, judicial holdings and Congressional doctrine to the contrary.”
Yeah, you’ve gotta really watch out for “purpose Congressional intent” while quoting “executive practice” to disallow executive practice. And that Congressional doctrine will surely get you!
The Executive Branch is neutralized by the other two branches. Is that how it works now?
Uh, old news. 5 days old.
That’s not a Constitutionally-valid reason to block an Executive Order. The ruling will easily be overturned.
State and local government should be able to do whatever they want as long as it doesn’t conflict with the federal constitution.

SIC SEMPER TYRANNIS
Meh. These black robed Nazgul wannabes have done this so many times that it’s lost all meaning.
The judicial system is a sick joke. Top to bottom.
How is it that Federal judges jump in and try to prohibit Trump from legally enforcing his mandates as per immigration, but sanctuary cities and states can legally violate the immigration law?
U.S. District Judge Peter Messitte said the executive order “does not appear to serve the overall public interest.”
I don’t remember learning in law school how this was a test of whether an executive order was lawful. In fact, the judge applied something like “substantive due process” in giving his own opinion of what was in the public interest, something that the courts have been barred from doing since the 1930s.

It would be a beautiful thing to see President Trump order an entire settlement community to be established all around the judges house.
