I don’t see any of these Judges up for re-election any time soon. That’s too bad. In today’s partisan climate, it might be worth considering.

It makes me rage that these unlawful activist judges insert themselves into this with no law to back them up and I want Trump to cite Obama administration sueing about immigration and other hypocrisies. They need to get better at that. Obama ignored court orders and that’s when he was breaking immigration law!

This stupid bastard needs to be removed from the bench. He’s not put there to make political statements. He’s also too dense to comprehend the statement he made in the video.

Yep. The Bush family is the worst thing to ever happen to the republican party. I don’t have a bit of use for any of them.

Nothing epic about it.

Trump’s lawyers will cite the law and precedent.

Game over....in about 30 minutes...

Judge needs to be kicked out of the justice system for violating the Constitution which is VERY clear on the right of President to issue such EO’s. ENOUGH if violating the division of powers. THE EXECUTIVE has the right in this instance and liberal judges better learn that FACT really quick or ALL will be replaced.

They can be impeached for legislating from the bench.

It won’t be a `court battle’ with a court.
It will be a: “You made the order. You enforce it.” battle.
Like his troops, the CICh doesn’t follow illegal orders.
