Federal appeals court maintains suspension of Trump’s immigration order
WaPo ^

Posted on 02/09/2017 3:21:48 PM PST by mandaladon

A federal appeals court has maintained the freeze on President Trump’s controversial immigration order, meaning previously barred refugees and citizens from seven Muslim-majority countries can continue entering the U.S.

A panel with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit upheld the ruling of U.S. District Judge James Robart, who had decided Friday that Trump’s temporary travel ban should be put on hold. The Department of Homeland Security soon suspended all enforcement of Trump’s controversial directive.

The Justice Department, representing the Trump administration, could now ask the Supreme Court — which often defers to the president on matters of immigration and national security — to intervene. The Supreme Court, though, remains one justice short, and many see it as ideologically split 4-4. A tie would keep in place whatever the appeals court decides.

Rescind the current EO and write a better one!

The EO was constrained and targetted with precison potential bad actors from countries known to export terrorism. A better EO cannot be written, IMHO.

This is nothing less that an unconstitutional coup by the judicial branch which ignores the grounds for the EO. If the EO is unconstitional, then the congressional grant of power by the Congress to the execution is unconstitutional.

With this ruling the court reserves to itself the power to declare what is or is not constitutional. We no longer need a written constitution.

I'm not a lawyer, but I read it.

In summary it says, the "feelings" of refugees and their ability to come to the US vastly out weighs any trifling concerns about American security.

In fact it says that no person from the 7 countries has ever committed an act of violence on US soil.

“I think Civil War II began tonight”

Actually, the left’s continued demise was reinforced.

They’ve lost. This is Sherman’s March.

Exactly. that's because the Arizona suit was against more lenient vetting so they ruled against their interference with Obama's EO, which is correct. These traitorous bastards are nothing but politicians in robes.

How dare they say there hasn't been terrorist attacks from these areas in this country. I'm sure they were saying the same before 911.
Also,these assholes don't know what the President is privy to from the intel briefing everyday and what is behind the “ban” on certain areas.

good lord, this is dangerous and stupid ruling as I've ever seen.

DJT needs to take care of this court when he gets time..after all the bigger issues are out of the way. Taking down the 9th should be on a short list.

In the meantime can he suspend from ALL countries until such time as this whole issue is settled

He can, and he should. Tonight, if possible.

If he doesn’t immediately do this, he’s the worst president in history. Holy cow, we have a coup in progress by the courts. And it appears that Trump put it there on a silver platter for them.

Right now this is a job for SCOTUS.

And if they deadlock, then what?

If there is a terrorist attack domestically while the Dem’s are doing this, it will be another Reichstag fire event of February 27, 1933.

Time has come to break up the 9th Circus.

He just needs to be patient but it has to be done.

The court is in a state of insurrection and must be brought to heel by whatever means are necessary, before our nation suffers harm, due to their malfeasance.


I am sorely vexed by the reaction
from the White House so far.

I hope that the 9th Circuit Court is on Trump’s swamp list.

"How dare they say there hasn't been terrorist attacks from these areas in this country."

Did they actually use that argument? We are not talking about past attacks, but potential future attacks. ISIS itself has said they want to use immigration as a tool for infiltration. We have seen that immigrants often lurk for long periods of time before engaging in terrorism.

The court is usurping an EXECUTIVE function; they are not talking about the law, but application of the law, about judgement about when and where and how the law should be applied. They are giving themselves the power of the executive.

If this doesn’t start it then we deserve to lose our country and live in with the chains of our progressive masters.

Well, Gorsuch will be confirmed probably in July, just before their August recess.
