Federal Judge rules new Travel ban unconstitutional.

Let's be clear here... these Justices are not ruling "this" travel ban unconstitutional. They are ruling "all" travel bans unconstitutional. Based on the wording of the rulings, the entire concept of picking areas of the world for a travel ban amounts to discrimination. Justice Watson writes:
"The illogic of the Government's contentions is palpable. The notion that one can demonstrate animus toward any group of people only by targeting all of them at once is fundamentally flawed,"
Of course the concept of targeting one group of people from one part of the world is precisely what the travel ban laws provide the President.
(f) Suspension of entry or imposition of restrictions by President:  Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate.
 Furthermore, these exact travel bans have been used by every President in most of our life times (including President Obama). According to this Judge, even travel bans set up to prevent people from countries we are at war with would be "illogical and fundamentally flawed".

Actually the statute itself (which none of these Justice have even acknowledged in their rulings) would be considered "illogical and fundamentally flawed" by Watson.

So are we (as a country) no longer to determine who can and who cannot enter our country? Are we really wanting to take away national security decisions from the executive branch (which has the FBI, CIA, NSA, DHS, and every branch of the military under it's charge) and hand it off to the courts?

Furthermore, the constitution clearly isn't designed to protect the feelings of people who are not even citizens of our country. There is a reason why the plaintiffs in this case end up being actual "States" or American citizens (rather than the foreign individuals effected). Wouldn't the criteria be whether or not the travel ban effects the constitutional rights of the plaintiffs?

I defer to one of the adult conservative voices. John Hinderacker (He is a graduate of Dartmouth College and Harvard Law School. During his career as a lawyer, he was named one of the top commercial litigators and one of the 100 best lawyers in Minnesota, and was voted by his peers one of the most respected lawyers in that state. He was repeatedly listed in The Best Lawyers in America and was recognized as Minnesota’s Super Lawyer of the Year for 2005.) He writes:
Derrick Watson, a Democratic Party activist who was appointed to the federal bench in Hawaii by President Obama in 2012, has issued a purported injunction barring implementation of President Trump’s travel order. I have not yet read Watson’s opinion, and will comment on it in detail when I have done so. But I have read Trump’s order, and the idea that it somehow can be blocked by a federal judge is ridiculous. The order is absolutely within the president’s constitutional discretion.
Herein lies the rub. I don't believe that these Justices are ruling on this travel ban as it would pertain to a generic President. They are choosing to treat this particular President differently than they would a different President. The travel ban as written as a generic matter is perfectly constitutional, perfectly lawful within statutory, and specifically addresses the main legal concerns of the Justices that blocked the first order. The problem for this Justice is simple.

The signature on the bottom.

Poweline strikes against.

I've read it and more.

I'm no lawyer either.

I agree with the order. I understand that first amendment rights don't necessarily apply to non citizens. I agree with the judge, because this executive order is specifically designed for keep Muslims out, that the United States, should not block entry of people who hold a specific religious belief.

In the late eighteenth and early twentieth centuries, and this is a rhetorical question, would you have supported banning Catholics, mostly Italians, from entering the United States, because the dominant religion, were Protestants? They were considered disruptive and dangerous.

Coldheartedtruth Teller said...

Supreme Court rulings on this ruling is not a slam dunk contest. Conservative vs Liberal.

The judge admitted that if Barack Obama signed the EO he wouldn't have stayed it.

It's political hackery at it's best and bigoted behaviour at it's worst.

We now have selective rulings based on who you are and not what was written.

That should be disturbing to any thoughtful individual.

But not you.

During WWII I would have banned Italians from coming to the United States.

And your hero FDR not only banned Japanese immigrants. He put American citizens of Japanese decent into concentration camps.

USSC Chief Justice Roberts has written on this topic.

He supports the power that was given the President by the US Congress years ago .


When it gets to the NEW COURT with President Trumps NEW Justice , this is going to sail right thru giving the Democrat Party yet another loss at the hands of President Trump.

He was still upset, fifty years later.

Here it is. He imposed the stay because it was Trump who sign it.

It had nothing to do with the EO itself.

Commonsense said...

FDR was wrong, pure and simple.

Not according to the Supreme Court. They ruled he had to power to do just that.

No judge said you can't do that.

Now we have Trump who signed an EO that was nowhere near as far reaching and intrusive as FDR's EO and a backwater judge stays his order just because he's offended by him.

That is gross judicial tyranny and if SCOTUS doesn't reign in these judges Congress will have to.

Commonsense said...

No link Mensa.

Go to the Washington Post, you'll find it.

C.H. Truth said...

The Courts have always (and I mean always) given space to the executive branch on national security issues. These rulings are a complete aberration.

Roger agrees with the Justice in this case because he (too) is convinced that the order means something that it doesn't actually state.

The order contains no specific religious test.
The order doesn't even mention religion.
The order provides summarized security information that justifies these countries being chosen.

It's really quite simple:

- The executive branch has "all" of the national security information.
- The legislative branch has a small subset of that information. Either what they are provided or what they otherwise subpoena.
- The judicial branch has literally "none" of that information.

This is why reasonable courts in the past have always provided wide latitude to the branch with "all of the information" to make determinations about national security.

Why anyone would want the people completely without any relevant information overruling those with all of the relevant information is beyond me. Perhaps someone can explain that to me in simple terms.

only a hack sees this thru the prism of conservative vs. liberal.

the statute is quite clear:

"Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may … suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate." --8 U.S. Code § 1182


and your catholic vs. protestant nonsense is meaningless since there is no mention of religion in trump's order.

so why don't you square that circle for us alky.

Coldheartedtruth Teller said...

Washington (CNN)The speaker of the House, the Senate Intelligence Committee chairman and the ranking Democrat on the committee said Thursday that they've seen no evidence of President Donald Trump's accusation that he was wiretapped last year by his predecessor.
Senate Intelligence Committee chair Richard Burr and ranking member Mark Warner issued a statement Thursday, saying "based on the information available to us, we see no indications that Trump Tower was the subject of surveillance by any element of the United States government either before or after Election Day 2016."
Their statement came hours after House Speaker Paul Ryan said that "no such wiretap existed," citing intelligence reports to House leaders.

"The intelligence committees, in their continuing, widening, ongoing investigations of all things Russia, got to the bottom -- at least so far with respect to our intelligence community -- that no such wiretap existed," Ryan said in response to a question from CNN at a news conference.
Ryan's comment follows Trump and the White House retreating from the President's stunning accusation in a tweet two weeks ago.
"When I say wiretapping, those words were in quotes. That really covers -- because wiretapping is pretty old-fashioned stuff -- but that really covers surveillance and many other things. And nobody ever talks about the fact that it was in quotes, but that's a very important thing," Trump told Fox News Wednesday.

the newest ruling draws repeatedly from trump and trump's administration comments and is a complete departure from the statute in question.

so commonsense was right and you're just a fucking liar.

Anonymous said...

The worst news for the administration is that the ruling suggests future revisions of the ban won’t help its chances of survival. Watson declared that the travel ban is, for all intents and purposes, a Muslim ban — that its reason for being fundamentally violates the First Amendment:

"A reasonable, objective observer—enlightened by the specific historical context, contemporaneous public statements, and specific sequence of events leading to its issuance—would conclude that the Executive Order was issued with a purpose to disfavor a particular religion, in spite of its stated, religiously-neutral purpose."

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

a prerequisite for me agreeing would be that i would first have to care.

and i don't.

here's the thing, liver -

0linsky has always been and always will be a corrupt, no good piece of shit. so there's our starting point.

and then there's the fact that 0lisnky weaponized some significant parts of our federal government apparatus for the distinct purpose of fucking with and attempting to destroy his and the left's political enemies.

so it stands to reason and is completely plausible that 0linsky would attempt to spy on trump during the campaign. via his surrogates of course, so he could always maintain a high level of plausible deniability.

so, going all the way back to where we started...

do i think that a scumbag like 0linsky was capable of fucking with trump at that level. sure. that's a no brainer.

but do i actually care about how this whole thing has played out?

no. not even a little bit.

i'm more concerned about 0linsky appointed judges aiding radical islamists to gain entry into our country. that matters to me because that could get innocent americans killed.

Trump said the temporary travel restriction was needed for national security. In issuing his temporary restraining order, Watson said Trump’s order was a result of nothing more than religious animus against Muslims. The judge’s order is predicated on what he thinks Trump wants to do, not the order itself.

Throughout the ruling, Judge Watson concedes there’s nothing about the executive order that would be problematic if not for his interpretation of Trump’s statements made in the months and years prior to issuing it. He repeatedly states his feeling that Trump had a bad motive in issuing the order.

Judges using campaign rhetoric to infer intent instead of plainly evaluating the law as written is a dangerous development. Also because the public can witness the selective use of this trick, it undermines confidence in the judiciary at a time when the judiciary can’t afford too much erosion of trust.

Rush Limbaugh, a prominent conservative talk radio show host, has instructed Trump to ignore the courts. His quote is shown below.

In a Facebook post, Limbaugh references constitutional decisions made by President Obama in which the president prioritized enforcement of immigration policy in the United States, which was completely in Obama’s authority as president. The radio host went on to encourage Trump to defy a court’s ruling against his Muslim ban.

a flat out lie.

rush addressed this today and i was listening. a caller suggested that trump ignore the order and rush disagreed, saying basically that while it would be tempting to do so, the rule of law must be followed, even as the left has abandoned the concept.


nice try alky.


CALLER: No. Would I be really out of line to say I think that Trump should defy this order?

RUSH: Yeah, I know, but you see the problem with that is there is this important thing called the rule of law, and even though they are abandoning the rule of law and flouting it, I don’t know that the remedy is for lawlessness. In fact, I know that that’s not the remedy. That’s a barrier you don’t want to cross. If you win by violating the rule of law, why ever pay attention to the rule of law again? So it’s a slippery slope to go down, but I understand the temptation.

List of Demands

A progressive America is a country where all people are treated with respect, have economic dignity, and are empowered regardless of race, gender, orientation, or economic class.

To achieve these ends, we release our following demands.

1. Abolish the Electoral College.

The Electoral College was created to give more power to slave states by lowering the value of each individual vote in the right circumstances. Defending and protecting racist political figures like Donald Trump was the goal.

Abolish the Electoral College, institute a direct vote for the presidency, and achieve actual democracy

2. Free College Education for All.

The powerful use ignorance to control the masses. This is why Donald Trump did well with uneducated voters. To set the people free, they must be educated.

Provide a free college education for all individuals in America, regardless of age or legal status.

3. Universal Healthcare for All.

4. Ban All Semi-Automatic Death Machines.

5. Ban Racial Profiling by Police.

6. Double Taxes on Billionaires.

7. Ban All Inheritance Over $1 Billion.

8. Immediate Citizenship for All Non-Felon Undocumented Workers.

9. Tax Religious Organizations.

When the Roth's came out we paid the taxes and transferred to ROTH ONLY, leaving the 529 plans in place.

WASHINGTON — American law enforcement and intelligence agencies are examining intercepted communications and financial transactions as part of a broad investigation into possible links between Russian officials and associates of President-elect Donald J. Trump, including his former campaign chairman Paul Manafort, current and former senior American officials said.



The continuing counterintelligence investigation means that Mr. Trump will take the oath of office on Friday with his associates under investigation and after the intelligence agencies concluded that the Russian government had worked to help elect him. As president, Mr. Trump will oversee those agencies and have the authority to redirect or stop at least some of these efforts.



It is not clear whether the intercepted communications had anything to do with Mr. Trump’s campaign, or Mr. Trump himself. It is also unclear whether the inquiry has anything to do with an investigation into the hacking of the Democratic National Committee’s computers and other attempts to disrupt the elections in November. The American government has concluded that the Russian government was responsible for a broad computer hacking campaign, including the operation against the D.N.C.



there is not one word about the wire tapping of the Trump Campaign or Trump tower NOT ONE. rrb like his dear leader, lies without shame

Donald Trump alleged that Barack Obama wiretapped him after he read an article published by The New York Times in January.

That’s what the president said when Tucker Carlson asked him during an interview on Fox News Wednesday night what his reasons were for believing the Obama administration surveilled him during the presidential election.

“I’ve been reading about things,” Trump said. “I read in January a New York Times article. I think they used the exact term ‘wiretapping.’ I read other things. I watched your friend Bret Baier where he was talking about certain, very complex sets of things happening. I said, ‘Wait a minute, there is a lot of wiretapping happening.'”

Once Donald Trump has come to a conclusion on any issue, he will not change his mind on anything, despite evidence is provided that, without a doubt, contradicts his belief. That is a very dangerous characteristic for the Commander in Chief of the most powerful military in history of man kind.

My words, and they are true. Cut the brainless insults, because like your dear leader, nothing will change your "minds" as if you really had functioning brain cells.

I am four years, two months and eight days since I drank my last alcoholic beverage One day at a time.

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I can not change the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. Amen.

Donald j. Trump should apply this in his life, rather than endanger the lives of millions around the world.

So if there was not "wiretap" at Trump tower, how was their communications "intercepted"?

And how does the New York Times know the names of American citizens inadvertently caught in a surveillance of foreign persons when these names are suppose to be shielded in the transcripts?

KD, HB Move against the president now, please , save the USA said...

Great News, the Union that Represents the Federal Employee is out raged that President Trump is going to eliminate jobs and review benefit, pay and retirement packages for all "Non-Essential" Federal Workers.

from the "there's no such thing as voter fraud" files:


An Ohio woman was sentenced Monday to 180 days in jail for fraudulently registering more than three dozen people to vote.

Authorities said Rebecca Hammonds, 34, created fake voter registration documents while working to register unregistered voters in Columbiana County between September and October of 2015.

"The investigation found that (Hammonds) falsely registered a number of Columbiana County residents, including some who were deceased, which is inexcusable," Ohio Attorney General DeWine said. “Allegations of voter fraud referred to my office will always be thoroughly investigated."

Hammonds, of East Liverpool, Ohio, pleaded guilty last month to 13 felony counts of making a false registration and one felony count of election falsification.

She was indicted in May after an investigation by the Ohio Attorney General's Bureau of Criminal Investigation.

"Non-Essential" Federal Workers.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

LOL. i always get a kick out of the ol' 'non-essential' worker line.

this past tuesday my governor gave all 'non-essential' workers a snow day because of the snow-maggedon, storm of the century, we're all gonna fucking die in a blizzard, snowstorm.

and we all survived.

that is, until wednesday when all of these 'non-essential' nitwits went back to work. then the roads were clogged with all of these fucksticks slamming into each other on the roads while driving and updating their fakebook pages at the same time.

'non-essential' government employees. well, i suppose if we didn't give these clowns a paycheck and a cubicle to camp out in every day we'd be paying them welfare.

These cuts in staffing are long the fuck over due.

Notice how President Trump won the election with 1/3 the staff and 1/4 the money as Democrat loser Hillary/Obama.

"No one who is paid a salary can get away with that. " opie


All of the groups of workers that have been stated by me and Cali do not pay into Social Security, their is nothing to "get away with" it is the law. Oh and they all get paid a salary.

You are wrong, but too small a human to admit it.

A distinction without difference They all have substantial plans provided by their unions which allow them to have a better retirement than SS. . As soon as you apologize for being an idiot.
