The Judiciary Has No Business Second Guessing National Security Issues
By Dan Cadman, February 8, 2017
Yesterday, February 7, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals heard oral arguments in the government's appeal to overturn a decision by a U.S. District Court judge in Washington State to impose a "temporary" restraining order on the executive order putting a 90-day timeout on visas for aliens from certain designated high-risk nations.
Unusually, the entire hearing was live-streamed. According to the Daily Caller, the government's attorney, August Flentje, "argued that, absent the order, the U.S. was at risk of terrorist attack. [Circuit Court Judges] Friedland and Clifton appeared skeptical of that position, asserting the risk was too abstract."
Dear Judges Friedland and Clifton,
Respectfully speaking, what can you possibly be thinking?
