Judicial Overreach on National Security

Judge Robart took it upon himself to substitute his judgment for the president’s. The judge gave unwarranted deference to the speculative, vague interests asserted by the states of Washington and Minnesota, who claimed without any concrete evidence that the temporary suspension of entry of aliens from the seven countries “adversely affects” their own “States’ residents in areas of employment, education, business, family relations, and freedom to travel.” This preposterous conclusory assertion overlooks the fact that the affected individuals temporarily barred from entering the country are not residents of these states and are not entitled to the states’ protection.

I wonder how many of these illegals actually provide "benefit" to the state if they are allowed to enter? Seems to me the damage likely outweighs the benefit, since the majority milk the system for freebies, when they're not plotting an attack.

We’ve had presidents since Washington. State never had legal standing to take a sitting president to court. If so, how could you get anything done. Can you imagine, WW2? FDR inturned all the Japanese.

I think that’s the point.

Personally, I would have LOVED to see Trump, immediately on the judges decision, generate another EO, just worded slightly differently, and have another 20 in the works.

i.e. two can play at that game.

I would have loved it if Trump had just ignored the judge’s order, and pointed out to the public that the judge had exceeded his judicial powers. Therefore his order is null and void, ab initio. No need to go to court to even argue about it.

Notice to Judge Robart: You are responsible for any and all criminal acts committed by the people you have let into this country and as an accessory to their crimes you will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
