I don't understand the panic; I do understand the law.

I could go into detail but I won't, it's just not reasonable to expect anyone but a very few FReepers to understand appellate law.

However, there is a prime oppo in all this:

Unless Gorsuch is confirmed as rapidly as possible, and by all GOP voting yea in a bloc with no defections, then simply promise to take the travel ban to Congress, and remind them they will have to defend their vote either way in 2 years.

“I could go into detail but I won’t, it’s just not reasonable to expect anyone but a very few FReepers to understand appellate law.”

How sad that the majority of us here are so stupid.

I love being condescended to in the morning. /s

StAnDeliver, many of us I am sure would be very interested to hear your thoughts. More so if you know something about the legal issues. I get quite frustrated reading through these threads, trying to find a shred of information. Yes, we all know Freepers are disgusted, etc. But all these wild statements to remove judges, or just ignore them, or other wild statements that are not in the slightest in accord with our laws and constitution..... I see that on the 2012 Arizona border enforcement case at the Supreme Court, Kennedy wrote the majority opinion, and stated very strongly that the federal government has the say on immigration. Wikipedia says, "Kennedy's opinion embraced an expansive view of the United States Government's authority to regulate immigration and aliens, describing it as "broad" and "undoubted." " Roberts, Ginsburg, Breyer, and Sotomayor joined him. Justices Scalia, Thomas, and Alito each concurred in part and dissented in part in separate opinions joined by no other justice. Yes, it is a different issue, but very recently, federal authority over immigration management was upheld by these justices in a state case. I would be interested to hear from legal beagles here if this would have any meaning for the current situation.

You really could have left that little dig out of your post.
