As most of you should know, a Seattle federal district judge, James Robart, has issued a stay against the Trump administration immigration ban on travel from seven countries that pose a threat of terrorist infiltration. That this same judge recently decreed in his court that "black lives matter" couldn't possibly lead one to consider that there just might be some liberal politics at play in a Seattle judge's decision, now, could it? That's almost like saying "California judge" or "New York judge" – know what I mean?
