Have you already forgotten Obozocare?
I agree. As my mom used to say, “there’s more than one way to skin a cat”.
Not that she would have ever actually skinned a cat.
Exactly right
Your wish is our command: Per Twitter account:
“The new immigration EO has made it to the OLC” - Office of Legal Counsel. This should be coming out rather quickly. They can do two things at once it appears.
With very few rare exceptions, SCOTUS won’t look at it until all lower appeals processes are exhausted.
Good analysis. This has become a much bigger issue than a temporary pause in travel from these specified countries. The court made it a separation of powers issue and if the president rewrites his EO, he is accepting the court assertion of authority in this vital area. The purpose of the original EO has been made largely moot at this point but the issue of basic authority must be settled. From a practical standpoint, the president will ultimately win if for no other reason than he is the only entity with an enforcement structure. The framers of the constitution were much wiser than many give them credit for.
But if you win at the SC, you can always come back with a new EO after the ruling.
Not only would defying a judge lead to calls for impeachment, the Rino senators are calling for an investigation into Trump’s relationship to Russia. They are fully on board to help the Dems with impeachment.
I feel they will. Perhaps they are buying time or perhaps they just want the 9th Circus to dig in a bit deeper. Maybe even the wackiest far flung chance the 9th will take this as a way to save some face and correct themselves. *chuckle*
In any event, this is still a precedent that needs to be defeated. The Executive branch needs to make clear that such rulings do not fall under the courts jurisdiction within the separation of powers.
Scotus is 4/4 right now... if it goes to Scotus and the leftist act as activists, which almost certainly Ginsberg, Sotomayor and Kagan will... If Kennedy decides to play activist as well.. you get a 4-4 and the lower court stands...
Is Trump required to respond if one Judge asks for a full court hearing?
If he doesn’t do an en banc, what recourse does he have, other than the SC or a new EO? In the interim, jihadists watch the news, and they’re busily stuffing “refugees” into the pipeline for admittance, to the eager welcomes of idiot snowflakes who will be disabused of their delusions the hard way, and they won’t be the only ones killed. The quicker the hole in the dike is plugged, the better for the US.
It seems like Trump has lost his nerve. Well, it was a good three weeks....
4 justices, even liberal ones, would be politically compromised enough to rule against what is a legally sound order?
Will lead to an ATTEMPT at impeachment. It went nowhere with Clinton.
You are awesome
Waiting for the supreme court to bail us out has not worked in the pst and is not a plan
When we learn the names of the eleven, we can determine their political roots for a clue. I'm not at all optimistic seeing that the Ninth is the most liberal circuit in the U.S. of A.

The GOP majority Congress is not going to impeach Trump.
