I assume the TRO only applies to those that have valid visas and green cards. The court can’t make the Government issue issue new visas. If they try, I would slow walk everyone
“Friedland asked if the government had connected any immigrants from the seven countries to terrorism.”
That is not a requirement of this or any other President deciding to limit immigration from certain places. If the court does not understand that they should leave the bench.
If I was Trump I would withdraw the current ban and immediately replace it with a one year moratorium on all immigration citing national security.
I'm not surprised.
Trump's case is being presented by employees of the relentlessly Hard Left U.S. Department of Justice.
Bottom Line - if your case depends on a Conservative interpretation of the Constitution, you need to hire lifelong passionate Conservative lawyers.
Scooter Libby and George Zimmerman learned that the hard way.
Libby hired a smooth, politically connected, Leftist Black lawyer who decided Libby's best defense was to admit that crimes had been committed, but Bush and Cheney should be on trial, not Scooter.
Scooter got convicted.
George Zimmerman's first lawyers were two passionate defenders of the Second Amendment and self-defense.
Then, Zimmerman decided that he, too, needed a politically connected, Left wing, capitulationist lawyer.
A week later, Zimmerman, in a prison jump suit and shackles, was apologizing to Trayvon Martin's parents in a televised Court hearing.
Appealing a lower court decision to the liberal ninth circus based on the law is a fool’s mission.After reviewing the 3 judges sitting on the appeal, it is relatively easy to predict a 2 to 1 decision to affirm the lower court injunction. One will decide based on the law and two will decide based on their “feelings”, i.e. political value system, and call it law.
I was astonished to hear the judges asking “do you have any evidence” of the risk to the US that is the basis for Trump’s order. First of all, wouldn’t any such evidence be classified information? And, secondly, wouldn’t a judge pressing the lawyer for such information constitute pressuring a government official to divulge classified, and possibly Top Secret information?
I do not understand why Trump has not issued a new, slightly different executive order.
That would be that.
And then keep doing that every time some stupid judge abuses his authority.
Time for President Trump to declare the judiciary in insurrection and start arresting them for sedition. Call out the 101st Airborne.
