US judge temporarily blocks Trump’s travel ban nationwide

SEATTLE — A U.S. judge on Friday temporarily blocked President Donald Trump’s ban on people from seven predominantly Muslim countries after Washington state and Minnesota urged a nationwide hold on the executive order that has launched legal battles across the country.

U.S. District Judge James Robart in Seattle ruled against government lawyers’ claims that the states did not have the standing to challenge Trump’s order and said they showed their case was likely to succeed.

“The state has met its burden in demonstrating immediate and irreparable injury,” Robart said.

Trump’s order last week sparked protests nationwide and confusion at airports as some travelers were detained. The White House has argued that it will make the country safer.

Washington became the first state to sue, with Attorney General Bob Ferguson saying the order was causing significant harm to residents and effectively mandates discrimination. Minnesota joined the suit this week.

The two states won a temporary restraining order while the court considers the lawsuit, which says key sections of Trump’s order are illegal and unconstitutional. Court challenges have been filed nationwide from states and advocacy groups, with some other hearings also held Friday.

“Washington has a profound interest in protecting its residents from the harms caused by the irrational discrimination embodied in the order,” Ferguson said in a brief.

Federal attorneys had argued that Congress gave the president authority to make decisions on national security and admitting immigrants.

The lawsuit says Trump campaigned on a promise to ban Muslims from coming to the U.S. and kept up that rhetoric while defending the travel ban. Lawyers pointed to dozens of exhibits of speeches and statements Trump has made.

“The executive order effectively mandates that the states engage in discrimination based on national origin and/or religion, thereby rescinding the states’ historic protection of civil rights and religious freedom,” the complaint said, calling it a violation of the U.S. Constitution.

Trump's Benghazi

The tribal delegation visiting Sheikh Abdelraouf al-Dhahab was still talking in the very early hours of the morning last Sunday when his nephew, Abdullah, noticed strangers approaching on foot across the rocky, inhospitable terrain of central Yemen.

"Who are you?" Abdullah called out into the night. "Who are you?"

The men shot him dead.

THE TWO-WAY
One U.S. Service Member Killed, Several Others Injured During Raid In Yemen
Startled by the gunfire, the Dhahab family scrambled to take up its own weapons and defend its house.

According to accounts by locals, this was the way the battle began with U.S. special operations forces and some of their allies, which would unfold over several hours on the ground — and end with an aerial bombardment.

By dawn, one American sailor was dead and three other service members were injured. Locals say numerous civilians, including women and nine children, were among the Yemenis killed. The U.S. military has opened an investigation, and U.S. military officials tell NPR that civilians were indeed among the victims.

Taken together, claims and counterclaims from the U.S. military and local residents described a chaotic operation, one that drew sharp criticism from Yemeni officials who usually support the U.S. The aftermath of the raid shows the potential dangers if the U.S. military relaxes its current restrictions about using force and protecting civilians, which President Donald Trump has asked the Pentagon to review.

One local man, Sadeq al-Jawfi, was monitoring the battle from his village about 3 miles away, in constant telephone contact with men from his tribe who were visiting the Dhahab family.

------------------

Of course, the right wing didn't have a problem with this disaster. A better parallel is The Bay of Pigs. Eisenhower left it on his desk. Kennedy was not well informed about the problems it faced.

But we found out that the President was at a meal with friends and family, when he gave the order to go.

Can you just imagine, if President Hillary Clinton did the same thing. He was not in the situation room. Our esteemed host would be calling for her head on a pike. But that didn't happen, did it. This is another example of ultra partisan politics, and not the coldheartedtruth.

I appreciate that he gives me a place to post. But by maintaining complete control, no alternative views are on the main blog, no contrary views are not allowed. It's his decision, and in some ways I understand why. But sometimes I wish he would step back and look at the bigger picture. I'm not saying that I should be seen here, but I would think it would be a more interesting.

Cue the drunkard spam obsession.

WASHINGTON, Feb 4 (Reuters) - The U.S. State Department will allow people with valid visas into the United States, a department official said on Saturday, in order to comply with an opinion from a federal judge in Seattle barring President Donald Trump’s executive action.

“We have reversed the provisional revocation of visas,” the State Department official said in a statement. “Those individuals with visas that were not physically canceled may now travel if the visa is otherwise valid.”

Yesterday the ancient Kansan said Trump would ignore it. Another embarrassment of our country by President Donald Tweeter Trump.

'Outrageous' order
Federal Judge James Robart, a George W. Bush appointee who presides in Seattle, halted the enforcement of Trump's order Friday night, effective nationwide.
Robart, ruling in a lawsuit brought by the attorneys general of Washington state and Minnesota who sought to stop the order, said the states "have met their burden of demonstrating that they face immediate and irreparable injury as a result of the signing and implementation of the Executive Order. "
He said the order adversely affects residents in areas of education, employment, education and freedom to travel.

Organizing for Action
Roger --

By now, I'm sure you've heard about the executive order on immigration and refugees that the President signed last Friday. It bans Syrian refugees from entering our country, suspends the entire refugee program for 120 days, cuts in half the number of refugees we can admit, and halts all travel from certain Muslim-majority countries.

I felt I had no choice but to speak out against it in the strongest possible terms.

This is a cruel measure that represents a stark departure from America's core values. We have a proud tradition of sheltering those fleeing violence and persecution, and have always been the world leader in refugee resettlement. As a refugee myself who fled the communist takeover of Czechoslovakia, I personally benefited from this country's generosity and its tradition of openness. This order would end that tradition, and discriminate against those fleeing a brutal civil war in Syria.

There is no data to support the idea that refugees pose a threat. This policy is based on fear, not facts. The refugee vetting process is robust and thorough. It already consists of over 20 steps, ensuring that refugees are vetted more intensively than any other category of traveler.

The process typically takes 18-24 months, and is conducted while they are still overseas. I am concerned that this order's attempts at "extreme vetting" will effectively halt our ability to accept anyone at all. When the administration makes wild claims about Syrian refugees pouring over our borders, they are relying on alternative facts -- or as I like to call it, fiction.

The truth is that America can simultaneously protect the security of our borders and our citizens and maintain our country's long tradition of welcoming those who have nowhere else to turn. These goals are not mutually exclusive. Indeed, they are the obligation of a country built by immigrants.

Refugees should not be viewed as a burden or as potential terrorists. They have already made great contributions to our national life. Syrian refugees are learning English, getting good jobs, buying homes, and starting businesses. In other words, they are doing what other generations of refugees -- including my own -- did. And I have no doubt that, if given the opportunity, they will become an essential part of our American fabric.

By targeting Muslim-majority countries for immigration bans and by expressing a clear preference for refugees who are religious minorities, there's no question this order is biased against Muslims. And when one faith is targeted, it puts us all at risk.

I will never forget sailing into New York Harbor for the first time and seeing the Statue of Liberty when I came here as a child. It proclaims "give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free." There is no fine print on the Statue of Liberty, and today she is weeping.

This executive order does not reflect American values. If you agree, make your voice heard now.

I hate to say it but the Seattle judge overstepped his authority when reasoning that the travel ban was ineffective in the interests of national security. His decision will be shot down and the ban quickly back in place.

Coldheartedtruth Teller said...

wp, other federal judges have said that his ruling is valid.

Coldheartedtruth Teller said...

President Chaos,
We have elected a man who seems to want to be a CEO, instead of the President. The executive orders are coming daily. The owner of a business, can do as he wants. But a President in the United States has limited powers. We are supposed to work with the congress to write the laws, and the President shall enforce the law.

I would not be surprised that he will ignore the courts and do as her wishes. This could actually cause Constitutional crisis. Per the Constitution, the congress is obligated to impeach him.

It's not likely that the Republican congressional leaders will take that step. But if he goes too far, and he's almost there they will do support and defend the constitution.

opie said...

Maybe trump and the justice department just direct all to ignore the order!!! Just like obama did. That would be fun to watch.

wphamilton said...

Roger it's valid until overturned, which it likely will be.

Coldheartedtruth Teller said...

wp, I don't know if your assumption is likely.
I have used the Google. This is one. I have others.

Executive order

The decree prohibits entry to all refugees, regardless of nationality, for 120 days, and bars Syrian refugees indefinitely. It also suspended the issuance of visas for 90 days to migrants or visitors from seven mainly Muslim countries: Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen.
Federal court action

Judge James Robart of the federal district court in Seattle ordered the nationwide suspension of the president's order.

His ruling stands until the court can study a complaint filed by the Washington state attorney general, Bob Ferguson. Critics including Ferguson say the measure unfairly targets Muslims.

Federal judges in several other states — notably California and New York — have also ruled against Trump's executive order, but Robart's ruling has by far the greatest sweep.
Travel ban lifted ... for now

"Those individuals with visas that were not physically canceled may now travel if the visa is otherwise valid," a State Department spokesperson said Saturday.

And the Department of Homeland Security, which has authority over border police, said that it was reverting to "standard policy and procedure."

Some airlines began quickly accepting passengers traveling to the United States from the affected countries.

The State Department said that 60,000 visas that had been revoked were again being honored, provided they were not canceled with a physical stamp.
Trump's next move?

The White House has said the Justice Department will challenge the federal judge's ruling, and ask for an emergency stay of that ruling.

If the appeals court were to uphold Robart's ruling, the case could go to the Supreme Court, said Peter Spiro, a law professor at Temple University in Philadelphia.

"It could go very, very fast," he added.

But for now, the Justice Department is operating without a permanent boss: Jeff Sessions, Trump's pick as US attorney general, has yet to be confirmed by the full Senate.
Was the federal ruling unusual?

Not really. The suspension of Trump's order is reminiscent of the reaction to Barack Obama's executive order of November 2014, which sought to protect from deportation more than 4 million undocumented immigrants who had been in the country for at least five years.

A federal judge in Texas ruled that Obama had overstepped his powers and blocked the order's implementation. That decision survived an appeal and reached the Supreme Court. Obama ultimately had to give in on what had been a key measure of his second term.
What lessons can we draw?

Legal experts said Trump's attack on Robart was unusual.

"It's not exactly contempt of court, but it certainly is contemptuous and it conveys a lack of respect for the independent judiciary," said Laurence Tribe, a constitutional scholar and Harvard Law professor.

For Spiro, the Temple law professor, Trump made a mistake by mocking Robart as a "so-called judge."

"That's not something that judges like," he said.

Coldheartedtruth Teller said...

Here’s part of what Robart’s ruling says about Trump’s executive order:

“While preventing terrorist attacks is an important goal, the order does nothing to further that purpose by denying admission to children fleeing Syria’s civil war, to refugees who valiantly assisted the US military in Iraq, or to law abiding tech workers who have lived in Washington for years.”

Amazon is among the Washington state-based companies that threw its support behind attorneys challenging Trump’s immigration order.

Washington Solicitor General Noah Purcell said Friday: “We only challenged the parts that are actually affecting people immediately, which are the parts about refugees and the parts about targeting these seven countries.”

US Customs and Border Protection told airlines it is “back to business as usual” and was reinstating visas following the Washington federal judge’s order, CNN reported.

White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer responded to the ruling in a statement Friday night: “At the earliest possible time, the Department of Justice intends to file an emergency stay of this order and defend the executive order of the President, which we believe is lawful and appropriate.”

After the ruling, many questions remain. The judge’s order could be challenged in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. It could potentially reach the US Supreme Court.

The Washington judge’s restraining order Friday came down the same day a judge in Massachusetts declined to extend a separate restraining order against Trump’s executive action. The restraining order in that state was due to expire on Sunday.

Earlier this week, another lawsuit filed in Virginia alleged dozens of immigrants trying to enter the US were coerced into giving up visas and green cards amid the travel ban. The State Department and Justice Department said tens of thousands of visas have been revoked as a result of the ban, though the two federal government agencies had diverging numbers.

On his way home from a conference of Democratic attorneys general in Florida, Mr. Ferguson landed a week ago in the center of a political and legal firestorm. Seattle-Tacoma International Airport was in disarray, with protests massing. Gov. Jay Inslee, a fellow Democrat, had sent word to the attorney general’s staff that he wanted to mount a battering-ram attack on the president’s decree.

Within two days, Mr. Ferguson had become a leading combatant in a battle with the president of the United States, filing a dramatic challenge to Mr. Trump’s travel ban that yielded a ruling from a federal judge on Friday freezing the order’s implementation.

A genial 51-year-old with an earnest demeanor, Mr. Ferguson cuts an unlikely figure as an antagonist for the most pugilistic president in modern times. He is seen in the state less as a chest-thumping showman than as a former member of the King County Council with a wonky sensibility and an eager manner.

But Mr. Ferguson, by his own account and the description of his associates, was incensed and offended by Mr. Trump’s sweeping immigration restrictions. And having landed in Seattle on the first full day the ban was in effect — while demonstrations grew across the country — he went home to greet his family and then went to work devising a plan to cripple Mr. Trump’s new policy.

In an interview, Mr. Ferguson said he had concluded from the start that Mr. Trump’s order was “unlawful and unconstitutional,” and that any appropriate response would have to aim at neutering it entirely. Eschewing the approach of other Democratic-leaning states, which have challenged Mr. Trump’s order by highlighting the claims of individual plaintiffs, Mr. Ferguson and his office opted to draft a complaint arguing that the ban would cause drastic damage to Washington State as a whole.

Mr. Ferguson said that the state solicitor general, Noah Purcell, a former Supreme Court clerk for David H. Souter, had suggested last weekend that the state enlist major private companies as allies. And so the attorney general spoke by telephone with a host of executives, including the corporate counsels of Expedia and Amazon, who agreed to supply forceful declarations for the state’s suit, describing the damage that the White House order could inflict.

Why did you paste it here? Unless you're under the mistaken belief that I'm claiming that he doesn't have the authority to make a ruling? Of course not! It's his legal reasoning to reach that decision that is unsound.

Coldheartedtruth Teller said...

I'm not a lawyer, so I look up the opinions of those who are lawyers, and quite a few agree. the Attorney's General of 11 states say they believe the executive order is unconstitutional. Other judges have said it would stand. I have seen a lot of lawyers on the news programs that don't agree with you.

If you are right, you have the bragging rights. But I don't think it will be supported, in the end, even by the Supreme Court. We should see by next Monday, and it might be on the short list to get to the Supreme Court, as it has been suspended by a Federal judge.

From Charlie Sykes on why the right is so easy to fool and manipulate. No one here will understand they have been had. LOL

Mr. Trump understands that attacking the media is the reddest of meat for his base, which has been conditioned to reject reporting from news sites outside of the conservative media ecosystem.

For years, as a conservative radio talk show host, I played a role in that conditioning by hammering the mainstream media for its bias and double standards. But the price turned out to be far higher than I imagined. The cumulative effect of the attacks was to delegitimize those outlets and essentially destroy much of the right’s immunity to false information. We thought we were creating a savvier, more skeptical audience. Instead, we opened the door for President Trump, who found an audience that could be easily misled.

"An appeals court rejected a request by the Justice Department to immediately restore President Trump's targeted travel ban, deepening a show down, deepening a legal showdown over his authority to tighten the nation's borders in the name of protecting Americans from terrorism."

Note wp, that this appears to be a legal battle over targeting specific ethnic groups. I don't see why you believe that this will, in the end, a rejection of the authority of the Federal judge in Washington. I know the First Amendment rights don't apply to non citizens. But this has affected many American citizens and those here legally. And their rights are being affected by the travel ban.

Immigration laws have long treated different countries differently. For example, a citizen of France can travel to America without a visa — but not a citizen of Poland. But a Seattle judge has blocked President Trump’s executive order restricting entry from seven violence-wracked or terrorism-supporting countries, suggesting (without explanation) that it violates the Constitution. Judge James Robart’s order has no legal basis, and barely pretends to. It is a bizarre ruling from a bizarre judge.

Judge Robart’s Friday order against Trump sheds little light on his thinking. But at an earlier hearing on Washington State’s motion for a temporary restraining order, he asked what rational basis the government had for restricting entry from the seven countries covered by Trump’s order: Iraq, Iran, Syria, Sudan, Somalia, Libya and Yemen. As NPR notes, these seven countries were previously singled out by Congress for milder restrictions on visas. Congress did so after terrorist attacks in Paris and San Bernardino, in a 2015 law tightening up the Visa Waiver Program that was signed by President Obama. Critics argue that there was no rational basis for restricting travel from these countries but not other countries in the Middle East, such as Saudi Arabia. This argument is silly, since America has deep economic links and security ties with Saudi Arabia that it lacks with the seven countries subject to the 2015 law and Trump’s executive order. America need not antagonize a key ally when it takes steps to increase border security. Perhaps for this reason, Judge Robart’s order in State of Washington v. Trump does not even make this argument, simply suggesting that for some unexplained reason the executive order may violate the “Constitution.”

To cover up the embarrassing weakness of Judge Robart’s temporary restraining order, reporters at the Washington Post and elsewhere have trumpeted the fact that Robart was nominally appointed by President George W. Bush. They have done this to suggest that his ruling must have merit, because otherwise he would not have ruled against a President of the same party as the man who appointed him. But this is misleading, since Robart is a “staunchly liberal” judge whose appointment was “effectively forced on Bush” by liberal Senator Patty Murray in 2004, when Washington State had two liberal Senators.

The judge opens up our country to potential terrorists and others that do not have our best interests at heart. Bad people are very happy! President Tweeter Trump.

It wasn't immediately clear when a decision could be made on the request for a stay.

Some 60,000 visas that had been canceled were deemed valid after Robart issued his restraining order Friday. Some visa holders rushed to take advantage of the reprieve and enter the U.S.

The Justice Department brief argues that the Seattle judge's order "immediately harms the public by thwarting enforcement of an executive order issued by the President, based on his national security judgment."

Trump's executive order caused chaos at airports, and among those reported detained or turned away included students, professors, and green card holders. Critics have called it a "Muslim ban," which Trump has denied. The president has said the order is necessary to protect Americans from terrorism.

Coldheartedtruth Teller said...

On February 5 1917, 100 years ago to the day, Congress passed the Immigration Act of 1917, which imposed the literacy test on all incoming immigrants and expanded the Chinese exclusion laws to exclude all noncitizens from the "Asiatic Barred Zone." The 1917 law was a precursor to the Immigration Act of 1924, which created the discriminatory national origins quotas system. Congress passed the law with an overwhelming majority, overriding President Woodrow Wilson's veto.

In addition, the 1917 Act added to and consolidated the list of undesirables banned from entering the country t o include "alcoholics", "anarchists", "contract laborers", "criminals and convicts", "epileptics", "feebleminded persons", "idiots", "illiterates", "imbeciles", "insane persons", "paupers", "persons afflicted with contagious disease", "persons being mentally or physically defective", "persons with constitutional psychopathic inferiority", "political radicals", "polygamists", "prostitutes" and "vagrants."

Groups such as the Immigration Restriction League had supported literacy as a prerequisite for immigration for many years. In 1895, Henry Cabot Lodge introduced a bill in the U.S. Senate to impose a literacy test, which would have required prospective immigrants to read five lines from the Constitution. Congress passed the bill but President Grover Cleveland vetoed it. A literacy test was later passed by Congress and vetoed by President Woodrow Wilson.

Anxiety over the fragmentation of American cultural identity, anti-immigrant, and anti-Asian sentiment, led to the Immigration Act of 1917.

Almost immediately after its passage, the Immigration Act of 1917 was challenged by Southwestern businesses. US entry into World War I, a few months after the law's passage, prompted a waiver of the Act's provisions on Mexican agricultural workers. It was soon extended to include Mexicans working in the mining and railroad industries.

Ray Sanchez on CCN conisders looks at the Immigration Act of 1917 and draws paralleles with President Trump's three immigration executive orders.

I've already tried to explain this point, which is correct. The NY Times had no analysis of the legal reasoning of the ruling, regardless of whether it was flawed.

That your opponents here disregard any mention of the legal reasoning and continue to quote lengthy sections of reporting on the reactions to the ruling, and justifying the judge's (undisputed) authority to rule in the first place, serves to demonstrate that they don't feel at all secure in the legal reasoning in the first place.

The legal defects (of the ruling) mentioned in your link are similar to those I brought up on Friday. The 9th Circuit is capable of literally anything, but even a split Supreme Court will reject flawed legal reasoning.

Coldheartedtruth Teller said...

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) denounced Russian President Vladimir Putin on Sunday, distancing himself from President Donald Trump’s more equivocal view of the foreign leader.

“Putin is a former KGB agent, he’s a thug, he was not elected in a way that most people would consider a credible election,” McConnell said in an interview on CNN’s “State Of The Union.”

“No, I don’t think there is any equivalency between the way the Russians conduct themselves and the way the United States does.”

Trump had brushed off Fox News host Bill O’Reilly’s characterization of Putin as a “killer” in a recent interview, responding, “We’ve got a lot of killers. What do you think? Our country’s so innocent?”

But McConnell didn’t explicitly criticize Trump’s stance.

“I can speak for myself, and I already have about my feelings about Vladimir Putin and the way the Russians operate,” McConnell said. “I’m not going to critique every utterance of the president. I obviously don’t see this issue the same way he does.”

The Senate majority leader also seemed to disagree with the president’s response to the emergency stay that halted the ban on refugees and travelers from seven Muslim-majority nations on Friday. Following the decision, Trump insulted the judge who had temporarily blocked the order on Twitter, blasting “[t]he opinion of this so-called judge.”

Vice President Mike Pence defended the president on Sunday for “speaking his mind” to the American public, but other Republicans registered their disapproval.

“I think it’s best not to single out judges for criticism,” McConnell said. “We all get disappointed from time to time at the outcome in courts on things that we care about, but I think it’s best to avoid criticizing judges individually.”

Sen. Ben Sasse (R-Neb.) also took issue with Trump’s statement.

“I’ll be honest, I don’t understand language like that,” Sasse said Sunday on ABC. “We don’t have so-called judges, we don’t have so-called senators, we don’t have so-called presidents, we have people from three different branches of government who take an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution.”

I think there is an easy way to determine if the executive order or ruling is technically legally correct...

The constitution and the statutory law provides the President with discretion to call for travel bans. Many travel bans or partial bans have gone into place for a variety of reasons, including some after 9-11 and one in 2011 (our two previous Presidents for security reasons) and many others over the years for things like bans on areas where there has been contagious outbreaks of deadly disease.

In all cases, it was fundamentally unfair to those who were not a national security concern or sick with a contagious disease. But those bans were never declared "unconstitutional" because of the fact that they negatively impacted certain people.

So I guess the question is what is fundamentally different about this particular travel ban? If (and it certainly appears to be the case in my view) this is a case of a Justice imposing his own discretion over that of the President in terms of whether or not the ban is necessary or "just" - then that Justice is by all means overstepping their boundaries. They are not ever supposed to just impose their own policy views over those who are elected and those the constitution provides the authority to.

So I would ask Roger or Opie... what is different about this particular policy other than it's Trump and you don't agree with it?

Btw... I have spent some time reading some actual "legal" blogs and I am pretty much ignoring anything written by the main stream media. These are people who are more interested in being legally correct than politically correct.

The word I have seen used multiple times to describe this Judge's decision has been "conclusary" which is to say it's "consisting of or relating to a conclusion or assertion for which no supporting evidence is offered". They are m ore convinced by the Boston Judge who rejected the request for a "stay" of the order and stated that the ultimate chances of success was not very good.

That being said, most are less than optimistic that the 9th court of appeals will overturn it, given their history of offering very liberal legal views that so many times end up overturned at the USSC level.

Look for the Trump team to stall any appeal to the USSC until they can assure that Gorsuch is on the court. Most of the legal experts believe that the conservative block (including Roberts) will rule that it is the President's (not the court's) authority to make a determination as to whether such a ban is good policy.

wphamilton said...

CH sad, The word I have seen used multiple times to describe this Judge's decision has been "conclusary" which is to say it's "consisting of or relating to a conclusion or assertion for which no supporting evidence is offered".

Exactly, and it's not even conclusory in the regular sense of a conclusion that is properly before the court for the judge to decide. The judge decided, in conclusory fashion, that there was no national security interest significant enough for the travel ban. He doesn't get to make that call - his reasoning there is not only without support, but potentially fails on Constitutional grounds.

That doesn't always stop the Ninth Circuit so they might uphold, but it's just a short delay at most.

Do You Know Someone Suffering From Trump Unacceptance & Resistance Disorder (TURD)?

Know the signs, spot the symptoms, and save a life.

TURD is a pattern of pathologically dissociative and psychotic behavior, first observed in the late hours of November 8th 2016, and increasing in severity with passing time.

Sufferers of TURD often exhibit pronounced cognitive dissonance, sudden bouts of rage, rioting, uncontrollable crying and “unfriending” on Facebook.

TURD is caused by the election of Donald Trump as President of the United States of America.
For many, both in America and worldwide, this was a shocking and unexpected outcome; their preferred news sources having failed to inform them that the alternative candidate was a criminal, Socialist parasite in such ill health she got chucked into the back of a van like a kidnap victim.

Research is ongoing, but TURD appears to correlate closely with the following environmental and behavioral factors:

Membership in the Democratic Party
Identifies as an Actor or Artist
Exposure to a Liberal Arts college professor
Works for the Federal, State or Local government
Living in a densely populated metropolitan area
Massive student debt
Spotty or non-existent work history

Patients with TURD are very resistant to treatment, and dangerous in large groups. Any possibility of treatment requires that they be separated from their hive-mind support apparatus; they cannot begin the process of accepting reality in the presence of encouragement towards delusion and irrationality. Separation may require the assistance of law enforcement.

If you have a friend or loved one suffering from TURD, urge them to seek treatment.
Together we can beat this scourge, and Make America Great Again.

Murray Works to Confirm Washington Judge James Robart Feb 11 2004 (Washington, D.C.)

Today U.S. Senator Patty Murray worked to confirm James “Jim” Robart to be a U.S. District Court Judge for the Western District of Washington State. Murray worked with Senator Cantwell and White House to nominate Mr. Robart, and today Murray introduced him before the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Read more at: http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/444629/judge-who-ruled-against-trump-not-republican

Unless you are not aware that Murray was a Democrat, you would understand that Robart (who had never been a judge) was not a "conservative" when he was nominated and confirmed. Unless you are unaware of his history, you would understand that he has been considered liberal to the point of almost being "wacky" in some of his rulings. This sort of ruling seems to fit the bill here.

C.H. Truth said...

If you haven't figured this out by now... these lawsuits were all very specifically brought in district courts that are known to have mostly liberal judges. So far there hasn't been a single Judge who would be considered "conservative" who has ruled on this. Seattle, Boston, etc...

Even the Boston judge who ruled in favor of the Administration and the order was not considered conservative.

With the exception of the Seattle Judge, the other decisions were basically specific to people who were being held in Airports. There was no sweeping decisions "other" than those that stopped people with existing permanent resident status from basically being deported, which is a position that the Administration has reversed.

Out of all the judges who have ruled, none of them (except Robart) has extended their decision above and beyond specific people within their districts who were specifically effected.

A federal appeals court on Sunday ruled that President Trump’s controversial immigration order will remain suspended for the time being, allowing those previously banned from coming to the United States at least another day to get here.

The decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit preserves a lower judge’s order to temporarily halt the ban — and based on a schedule the court outlined, the stop will remain in place at least until sometime on Monday. The Justice Department said it would not elevate the dispute to the Supreme Court before that.
ADVERTISING

Trump responded to the development Sunday by writing on Twitter that he had “instructed Homeland Security to check people coming into our country VERY CAREFULLY.” A Department of Homeland Security spokeswoman did not immediately return messages seeking comment on how, practically, that screening would be implemented.

“Just cannot believe a judge would put our country in such peril,” Trump wrote. “If something happens blame him and court system. People pouring in. Bad!”

The next few days will be telling for the future of the president’s executive order. The appeals court asked those challenging the ban to file written arguments by 4 a.m. Eastern on Monday and asked Justice Department lawyers to reply by 6 p.m. Eastern. They could then schedule a hearing or rule whether the ban should remain on hold.

opie said...

CH, your proof of Robart being a demo is nothing but an opinion piece. Keep making stuff up, it is what you now do best, like donnie of NY. LOLBTW..... Blame busch for such a crappy choice in your mind. Your editorial comment about being wacky is priceless and an opionio. The bar gave him 100% approval and he was confirmed unanimously which is fact, unlike your fable.

C.H. Truth said...

And what does that prove other than you don't like the outcome?

I didn't have any issues with the first several rulings. I believe that the order went too far (I am still speculating it was on purpose) in terms of permanent residents. That order was not extended by a second judge for the reasons that it was no longer an emergency, and the Administration reversed the position on permanent green card residents.

I do (as most legal experts from the sites I frequent) take issue with the Seattle ruling that stated that the entire travel portion was "unnecessary" and therefore unconstitutional... and extended his ruling outside of his jurisdiction (by most all accounts).

The fact of the matter is that Robart was recommended by Patty Murray as part of a deal between Senate Democrats and President Bush. Robart was never a judge. This is all part of historical fact. It can be looked up with a simple google search.

The argument (apparently your argument) that he was technically appointed by Bush and therefore he's a conservative is nothing more than your assumption, not backed by any evidence what-so-ever.

Moreover, to suggest that somehow a Federal Judge should be given certain considerations that other prominent people are not given, is simply hypocrisy.
