Dershowitz: Supreme Court Will Find Trump Travel Order Constitutional, Even Without Gorsuch
realclearpolitics.com ^ | March 15, 2017

Posted on 03/18/2017 5:24:38 PM PDT by Helicondelta

ANDERSON COOPER, CNN: Professor Dershowitz, you were referenced by President Trump saying that even you believe that they will win at the Supreme Court. Is he right in saying that you believe that? And how surprised are you by the president's comments about the Ninth Circuit and obviously going after this judge in particular?

ALAN DERSHOWITZ: Well, I think the president makes a mistake going after judges. He quoted me correctly, I do think he will win many the United States Supreme Court. It will be an important decision because it will be the first time a court has really handled political statements during a campaign and be used to strike down a facially constitutional statute.

I hope the president doesn't misinterpret my statements to say I support the order. I don't support the order. I don't think it's necessary for the safety of the United States. I'm opposed to it. But I think there's a difference obviously between not supporting an order on policy grounds and finding it unconstitutional. I do not think it's unconstitutional. I think the Supreme Court will uphold it even if Gorsuch is not yet on the Supreme Court. But if he does make it there in time then it will be a clearer victory for the Trump administration in the Supreme Court.

If he doesn’t win at the Supreme court, then logic and reason no longer exists in this country.

Why hasn’t Gorsuch been confirmed?

So assuming that the 9th Circus rules "no way" and that Trump's nominee hasn't been seated when the case is heard which of the four Rat appointees will actually abide by the Constitution?

That dame who has trouble staying awake these days? The "wise Latina"?

No, the Supreme Court will call it ‘moot’ cause the 90 days will long since be gone.

I have a hard time thinking that any one of the four commies on the US SC will strike down the 9th Circus ruling. It might happen on the day hell freezes over.....

The Rat-bastard judge in Hawaii will just issue another 90 day RO.

President Trump has got to get his team working on taking out the kangaroo court system. Best way is to start with split the 9th into 3 areas and ship that Washington judge to Alaska. And really cut judges in the Hawaiian to 3 to 2 with two being communists Democrats. Get tough now or will be too late. California is a lost cause with a civil war going to happen within the State.

I have wondered about this. I bet Dershowitz is right.

He quoted me correctly,

Right there is the reason I will usually read Dershowitz, even though he is a liberal. He could have said that Trump misquoted him, but instead he chose to be honest.

And the communists Democrats will probably make it last many months. Not supposed to last that long, but the rats are in control.

Yes...Hearings start on March 2oth and the entire process should take about two weeks to get to the vote.

Let's see the cr** the Schumer pulls....so far, he's said he doesn't trust the guy.....but believe he voted for his confirmation previously. And since when is this a vote based on personal feelings.

They are extending 1st amendment to relatives of persons lawfully in the United States.

“The Right of the People”.

Who are “The People”?

The People are the citizens of the U.S. and lawfull residents.

Foreigners who are not yet here are not “The People” and therefore have no rights under our Constitution.

Further, they are not “Persons” in the context of the Constition or U.S. law.

They are “Aliens”.

If you can extend U.S. and Constitutional rights to “Aliens” not yet here, then the U.S. is not a sovereign state but a world givernment.

If Constitutional rights are enjoyed by anyone desiring entrance to the U.S. then all other rights and privileges extend to them as well under this ruling and I wonder if they are not “disenfranchised “ as potential voters.

Further, why wouldn’t they also enjoy “The Right of the People “ to 2nd amendment privileges.?H

51 and done.

Will have another Crack at SCOTUS within year and again before his 1st term is up.

Then SCOTUS is right for the next 100 years.

Trump cannot win if this goes to the Supreme Court, even if all 9 Supremes are Right Wing Conservatives.

Because it won't stop judges in the future from doing the same thing and tying up the courts with their stupid decisions against whatever Trump does.

TRUMP MUST IMPEACH THESE JUDGES OR FDR-PACK THE COURTS.....AND FIRST HE MUST

NUKE

FILIBUSTER

Dershowvitz’s leftist politics remain very distressing but he is one of the leftists that does try (and on occasion actually succeeds) in being honest.

This is why I still have some respect for him. So many of today’s far left just keep lying and lying and lying...

(His politics, tho, still stink.)

I think that is bad form.

My Prayer: God, if it be your will, reach Justice Ginsburg’s heart and open it to bring her closer to you. May she see the error of her ways and render just decisions in her powerful position on the Supreme Court.

May your will be done.
