-- Facts, legal arguments, and the constitution are set aside in favor of campaign rhetoric that liberals don't like. Cool, we really are in a new age. --

Everybody agrees on the facts in this case, so we are dealing with a question of pure law.

And the new age is the new age of federal jurisprudence. The case has been heard, decided, and appealed. The vast majority of judges have concluded that campaign rhetoric carries more weight than the text of an EO.

Funny thing is, this is nothing new for federal courts. They hallucinate things into the constitution too. The federal court system is an utterly failed institution. So is Congress, for allowing this sort of nonsense to persist across generations.

Obviously, the courts don't care if they are held up to ridicule. They get the last word, and aren't challenged on it in any meaningful way.

Do paraphrase a comedian from decades ago: Do you mind if we borrow your constitution? You don’t seem to be using it.
