Trump singles out 'so-called' judge for 'ridiculous' restraining order on travel ban
washingtonexaminer.com ^ | 2/4/17 | Daniel Chaitin

Posted on 02/04/2017 11:05:54 AM PST by ColdOne

President Trump on Saturday escalated his critique of a temporary nationwide restraining order on his executive order barring citizens from seven Muslim-majority countries from entering the U.S., directing his ire this time at the federal judge in Seattle behind the move.

"The opinion of this so-called judge, which essentially takes law-enforcement away from our country, is ridiculous and will be overturned!", the president declared on Twitter.

In warning that the restraining order will not stand, Trump may be referring to the Justice Department's intent to announce an emergency stay on the judge's "outrageous" restraining order, announced by the White House Friday evening. The word "outrageous" was later removed in a followup statement.

"When a country is no longer able to say who can, and who cannot , come in & out, especially for reasons of safety &.security - big trouble!" Trump continued. "Interesting that certain Middle-Eastern countries agree with the ban. They know if certain people are allowed in it's death & destruction!"

Does his ruling reference his standing on the issue? The standing of the petitioner(s)? Appropriate citations?

Or is this Fake Law?

DantheMan123 has the plan —

temporarily stop immigration from ALL countries until a vetting process is worked out.

I hope someone gets that to the Trump people ASAP

“When a country is no longer able to say who can, and who cannot , come in & out, especially for reasons of safety &.security - big trouble!”

Unfortunately, in this case, the federal judge does speak for the country.

And while President Trump cannot remove the federal judge, Trump can grant Pardons to all Homeland Security Agents that refuse to follow the federal judge’s order.

President Trump could also fire or suspend all Homeland Security Agents and replace them with Military Police who would be completely under President’s Trump’s control.

The judge should be impeached.

Once ignorance of the law on their part is demonstrated, judges should be removed from the bench and incarcerated.

Only the US Senate can remove him.

Study and be smart.

‘When the judge is overturned, we can all make fun of him.’

The Rebel Judge has opened the gates for tens of thousands of unvetted refugees and terrorists, all just before the Super Bowl no less.
The Ideological Liberals now own any acts of Terror. President Trump is trying to protect American and Americans but has been thwarted by Liberals.
I pray we cal all make fun of the Judge, not just the survivors of terror.]

Drain the judicial swamp.

Don’t know if he can though with the RINO Congress in the way.

Would love to see him campaign against them in 2018 and sweep in a new conservative Congress.

Trump was far too kind in his words to this hack unelected tyrant.

I dont have a problem with the point of the tweet. But calling the judge “so-called” was a boneheaded move that is completely counfer-productive and distracting from the point. After all, the judge IS a legally appointed judge. Point Democrats.

He could be arrested and detained while awaiting trial.

“He could be arrested and detained while awaiting trial.”

And his ruling would still stand.

I believe it cited some ‘imminent and ongoing damage’ to both refugees and states-

Yes, but his “gang” parties would be brutal.

To almost everything you suggested.....no, that isn't the way the law works. Much easier to appeal and win, than cause more legal issues.

Has anybody actually seen the full decision, yet? I am wondering if it holds up to even subtle scrutiny. The judge is essentially blocking use of a 65 year old law.
