U.S. court refuses to immediately restore Trump travel ban
MSN Reuters, Feb 5, 2017

 A U.S. appeal court late on Saturday denied a request from the U.S. Department of Justice to immediately restore a immigration order from President Donald Trump barring citizens from seven mainly Muslim countries and temporarily banning refugees.

The court ruling dealt a further setback to Trump, who has denounced the judge in the state of Washington who blocked his executive order on Friday. In tweets and comments to reporters, the president has insisted he will get the ban reinstated.

Trump says the temporary immigration restrictions on citizens from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen, and on all refugees, are necessary to protect the United States from Islamist militants. Critics say they are unjustified and discriminatory.

The judge's order and the appeal ruling have created what may be a short-lived opportunity for travelers from the seven affected countries to get into the United States while the legal uncertainty continues.

LEGAL ARGUMENTS

In his ruling in Washington state on Friday, Judge Robart questioned the use of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the United States as a justification for the ban, saying no attacks had been carried out on U.S. soil by individuals from the seven affected countries since then.

For Trump's order to be constitutional, Robart said, it had to be "based in fact, as opposed to fiction."

The 9/11 attacks were carried out by hijackers from Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Egypt and Lebanon, whose nationals were not affected by the order.

The Justice Department appeal criticized Robart's legal reasoning, saying it violated the separation of powers and stepped on the president's authority as commander-in-chief.

Make the Ban global, except for UK, Nato and Nafta countries.

Impeach the Seattle judge and key blockers in the ninth circuit.

No more Boston, San Bernadino , Fort Dix, Fort Hood, 911,Orlando, Chattanooga, 911 and on and on.

Countries can be cleared off of the list after a majority of the terrorists are taken care of.

I believe that the president is on VERY firm ground here and WILL soon prevail!

In 2002, Congress passed the Enhanced Border Security and Visa Entry Reform Act. "SEC.
306. No nonimmigrant visa under section 101(a)(15) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8
U.S.C.1101(a)(15)) shall be issued to any alien from a country that is a state sponsor of
international terrorism unless the Secretary of State determines, in consultation with the
Attorney General and the heads of other appropriate United States agencies, that such alien
does not pose a threat to the safety or national security of the United States."

Sessions confirmation can't come soon enough.  The 'nuclear' option needs to be used ASAP.

He did. However, I don't agree with this ruling, why was it ok when Obama did it? I don't understand that.


Of course, I don't think he did himself any favors by badmouthing a judge in public. Poor choice (one among many yesterday) from him.
