This is starting to feel like a typical Liberal judicial case:

Conservative policy goes to court -- court rules in favor of Conservatives -- lawyers vow to try again.
Conservative policy goes to court -- court rules in favor of Conservatives -- lawyers vow to try again.
Conservative policy goes to court -- court rules in favor of Conservatives -- lawyers vow to try again.

Conservative policy goes to court -- court rules for Liberals -- GAME OVER! SETTLED LAW! DONE!

RE: Conservative policy goes to court — court rules in favor of Conservatives — lawyers vow to try again.

With Gorsuch siding with the liberal wing of the court in the latest immigration case, I’m not so sure of the above anymore....

Can we all agree: "Trump’s order is NOT a 'TRAVEL BAN'? It is an INVASION BAN order.

This issue is not "travel". The issue is invasion. This is a most basic constitutional issue that mandates the federal government stop invasion.

The United States...shall protect each [state] against invasion
U.S. Const. art. IV, sec. 4.

Trump's argument is first and foremost a Constitutional argument, not a federal statute argument. Illegal immigration and immigration of our enemies are INVASION which the Constitution specifically mandates the federal government to prevent. Don't repeat the Lying Leftists Labels. This and related articles should be posted as an Invasion Ban Order.

He was right on the law on that one. If we want a strict constructionist on the Court, we have to realize that he is going to vote what is right not necessarily what the philosophical bent is.

John Roberts confirmed - he’ll side with Conservatives to kill ObamaCare - didn’t happen.

Neil Gorsuch confirmed - he’ll side with Conservatives to stop illegals - didn’t happen.

Any doubt that another judge will disappoint? Three boxes smashed; only one left.

In 2014 Speaker Paul Ryan poste an article by Matt Wolking quoting 22 times where Obama said he can’t just make up laws.

A very good read that the courts are ignoring!

We “real Conservatives” have been played by the Republican Party for all of my life.
Only now, with their game exposed by the election of Donald Trump, do we have a clear, unblocked view of what they’ve been up to. The truth of the matter is that the “Republican Party” should be put out of business. They are far more devious and crooked than the RAT Party. There isn’t a nickel’s worth of difference between the Koch Bros. and George Soros. None of them give a $hit about anyone but themselves and their wallets. I see no way for this country to survive without the destruction of the GOP as it is currently operating, and the removal of those who have their hands on the controls. I am beginning to understand why the French employed the guillotine during their revolution. Our ultimate survival depends on permanently ridding our country of these people.

Most of our government is on board with the Bush Plan for North Mexico (aka USA).
The judges not appointed by Obama and Clinton were appointed by Bushes.

If I recall correctly, Trump cited a law from the ‘50s , which empowers the president to ban various classes of aliens from entering America.

Past presidents have used this law without liberals challenging in court.

Jimmy Carter made extensive use of this to evict Iranians from this country during the Iran hostage crisis. But that was ok with the liberals of the day.

There are only 2 major parties in this country, if you want to start a new party, how long are you willing to wait while the country goes to Hell?

“Trump’s proposal for a temporary halt to immigration from Muslim countries was first announced . . .”

It was never announced because that’s not what it is. It’s a ban on immigration of people from countries that have no way of vetting.

Maybe I’m slow, but how can an unConstitutional E. O. be protected from a Constitutional E. O. to nullify it?

If they can’t figure this one out, Lord help us.

Almost everything is more complex than this simply fix.

Well I confirmed I am slow, this was about altering the flow of problematic immigrants, not the Obama DACA E. O.

That is the same way voter recounts work.

Yep. So, you sit on your hands in November and send them a message.

Yep, let the RATS take over! Yeah, that’ll show the GOPe!

Only problem, the GOPe is part of the DC UniParty. The other parts? The RATS and the MSM.

I’m not sure how you got from what I said to this you’ve written above. Surely we have to work with what we’ve got, good and bad. But part of the problem is imbedded in your comment. We have abetted the GOPE by continuing to vote for them, then sitting around p!ssing and moaning about how bad they are. I suppose until it’s so bad that the voters finally take definitive action against these miscreants, they will continue to run the Republican Party to it’s detriment. And FWIW, in almost 78 years, I’ve never missed a single election and I have never voted for anyone who wasn’t running as a Republican, although in hindsight, a number of them were not worthy of my vote (can you say GHWB, GWB McStain and Mittens for openers). I shudder when I think about what the first two did, and shudder a lot more when contemplating what the last two might have done.

Don’t look now, but it’s been going to hell for decades. The GOPE hasn’t really tried to apply the brakes for a long, long time!
