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.
Us peasants are gonna remember that Mitt in the future.
