Judicial Watch Statement on U.S. Supreme Court’s Travel Ban Decision
Judicial Watch ^ | June 26, 201`7 | Tom Fitton

Posted on 06/26/2017 11:15:06 AM PDT by jazusamo

(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton issued the following statement in response to today’s decision by the U.S. Supreme Court concerning President Trump’s Executive Order that, among other anti-terrorist measures, temporarily restricts most travel from certain Middle East nations:

Today, in a historic decision, every Supreme Court justice agreed for now to reinstate practically all of President Trump’s executive order concerning travel. This is a major blow to anti-Trump activist judges on the lower courts. And it is a big victory for our nation’s security, President Trump, and the rule of the law. In light of today’s strong ruling, the Trump administration should consider additional steps to keep terrorists out of the United States.

Don’t bother; I was listening to CNN on XM this morning and they were twisting themselves into pretzels trying to make this look like the lower courts were correct in their rulings. One thing they claimed was SCOTUS ONLY reinstated part of the ban. (Like it was only a small part of the ban affected). Over and over they kept emphasizing it was only a partial reinstatement.

Expect the same on the other networks.

Bigly?

If you are trying to quote Trump, then you should be saying “Big League”.

The Supremes can punish lower courts.

What form of punishment?

...This, and changing the make up of the liberal federal judiciary would be major accomplishments.

Which would be the greatest accomplishment in decades if he never did another thing. MAGA.

I hope Trump uses a different group of lawyers to argue for this case than was used in past months. The previous group of lawyers representing the government always seems to get rolled, or overruled. It may have to do with the 9th Circuit’s involvement, but not always.

Anticipate the most outrageous, ridiculous reasons the left may give for blocking this ban, then prepare for them.
Never forget that with the democrats, no bar is too low, if it insures a win or postponement.

This will not phase the 9th circus court on single little bit. They have no shame at all.

"My responsibility is to ensure that the position of the Department of Justice is not only legally defensible, but is informed by our best view of what the law is after consideration of all the facts. In addition, I am responsible for ensuring that the positions we take in court remain consistent with this institution’s solemn obligation to always seek justice and stand for what is right," she wrote.a

"At present, I am not convinced that the defense of the Executive Order is consistent with these responsibilities nor am I convinced that the Executive Order is lawful."

This issue is done. By the time for oral arguments in front of the USSC the ban will be over and the issue moot.

As one who voted for Castle because Trump was/is not a conservative, I will continue to stand by my choice. President Trump continues to be more liberal than other conservative candidates. I have and will continue to support conservatives.

Case in point, his continued push to “replace” Obamacare with Trumpcare. Obamacare needs to be REPEALED not REPLACED or REPAIRED.

Despite state governors’ concerns, the half/caste Royal Idiot secretly launched a major “refugee project” to foist rabid Christian-hating terrorists, criminals, torturers, beheaders on unsuspecting US citizens and their families.....hiding them in American communities, stealing our tax dollars to set them up in relative luxury.

Under cover of night, the half/caste facilitated a steady stream of Somali, Syrian, Afghan, Iraqi and Burmese Muslims, refugees who committed crimes in their homelands: Afghanistan, Algeria, Burundi, Cape Verde, China, Cuba, Eritrea, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, India, Iran, Iraq, Ivory Coast, Liberia, Libya, Mali, Mauritania, Morocco, Sierra Leone, Somalia, South Sudan, and Zimbabwe.


More alarmingly, th half/caste secretly resettled refugees in the US from Somalia, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Liberia, Nigeria and Sudan......these are listed among the ‘Top 10 Countries of Origin’ where hottific female genital mutilation is practiced....usually on little girls.


We also just learn the half/caste endangered Americans by letting in vicious savages——drug cartel gangs from latino hellholes into our communities.
