Attorney General Jeff Sessions issued a statement Thursday on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit decision to block President Donald Trump’s travel ban executive order, vowing to take the defense of that order to the United States Supreme Court. “President Trump’s executive order is well within his lawful authority to keep the Nation safe,” Sessions wrote in the statement:
The Department of Justice strongly disagrees with the decision of the divided court, which blocks the President’s efforts to strengthen this country’s national security. As the dissenting judges explained, the executive order is a constitutional exercise of the President’s duty to protect our communities from terrorism. The President is not required to admit people from countries that sponsor or shelter terrorism, until he determines that they can be properly vetted and do not pose a security risk to the United States.

Why not find some republicans to impeach these judges??? Or better yet, move all immigrants from the countries outlined in the executive order to the cities where these judges live...
Removing federal judges requires 67 US Senate votes.
No need to impeach, just take away their jurisdiction and create a new court, appointed by Trump, to hear such matters.
Do it and let’s see how Gorsuch does. I believe we can get a 5-4 ruling in favor of the President.
How did these judges get through high school, let alone law school, with this level of stupidity? So the exact same order would be constitutional but for campaign rhetoric on the campaign trail...insane logic.
It is the only move that remains and the president’s policy will have a good chance at SCOTUS.
Right. Congress can limit inferior court jurisdiction any time they want, just like they expanded inferior court power in the past.
So, he’s back from his three-month vacation?
I wonder of the Government could request "expedited" handling of the case...if there's any such thing with SCOTUS.
I think President Trump made his case in his travels this week.
But it’s won’t be on this years docket...it will be next year.
Expect Paul Ryan to jump in saying Sessions shouldn’t question the hard-working patriots on the judicial bench.
The First Amendment Establishment clause extends to all the rest of the world?
The U.S. is required to allow any and all religions into the U.S.?
Utter insanity.
Establishing a religion and preventing people of a certain religion from entering the U.S. are completely different things.
And, that is not even what President Trump is doing. He is not banning Muslims from most places from entering the U.S.
Yes, those judges should be impeached. We simply do not have the political power to do it at present.
Sessions is too darn polite. He needs to act like a Dim and rub the Manchester Massacre in these judges noses.
The speed of SCOTUS depends on the politics and "urgency." They used to be able to act quickly, and outside of the usual summer vacation schedule they enjoy now.
See Ex parte Quirin, 317 U.S. 1 (1942)
The question for decision is whether the detention of petitioners by respondent for trial by Military Commission, appointed by Order of the President of July 2, 1942, on charges preferred against them purporting to set out their violations of the law of war and of the Articles of War, is in conformity to the laws and Constitution of the United States.
Decided: July 31, 1942
.... rendered it a violation of the First Amendment’s Establishment Clause....
So, when did it happen that residents of other countries have US Constitutional rights before they set foot on the soil of the USA? It’s a other Trump ambush that sprung.
....I wonder of the Government could request “expedited” handling of the case...if there’s any such thing with SCOTUS...
Yes there is. Otherwise it’s just a big dog and pony show.
Bad decision, and I’m surprised to see it was supported by a 10-3 majority. Since the ban was only intended for 90 days, long past, will SCOTUS even take it? We know they tend to to avoid cases whenever they can.
