1: That wasn't a travel ban
2: There was an actual event that inspired that inspired the crackdown. Trump's is essentially giving him (or Bannon) 90 days to craft policy that he should have had planned months ago.
3: Two wrongs don't make a right

PS for Chula: the 9th circuit court has more overruled verdicts than any of the other circuits, I wouldn't rejoice yet.

Because it wasn't a ban. Stop listening listening to those trying to defend Trump's ban by citing Obama.

Big differences between Trump's immigration ban, Obama's 2011 policy - Business Insider

If anything what Trump's trying to do is unnecessary based on the work Obama did in 2011 to strengthen the policies for screening and immigration. Name a single terrorist act that took place here in the US from any of the seven countries that Trumps trying to ban. He needs to start focusing on domestic terrorism.

I love how so many people just despise every word that comes out of Obama's mouth...unless it has any kind of parallels to things Trump has said because dumb liberals!

Someone made a case that the Supreme Court will also deny his appeal because his tone so far towards the courts and judges - and how they need to assert their control now before he runs amuck.

If that informs their reasoning I hope that all members of the SCOTUS are stripped of their titles. I heard a great quote from Gorsuch on the subject: "A judge who likes every outcome he reaches is very likely a bad judge." Their decisions should be made based on law, not the fact that Trump was a little mean to them. I'd be totally ****ed if being a meanie was unconstitutional.

I didn't word it very well. A lawyer on TV just made the point much more clearer. What they might do is read the decision and agree with the areas that basically say that Trump is trying usurp the court's opinions based on The Constitution as well as already being do disrespectful to the US judicial system.

What was Trump implying when he referred to the Washington justice as a "so called judge"? Saying something like that so publically can have the same affect on his base like constantly saying "fake news" does.

A president is not suppose to seed doubt in the American people about the soundness of our judicial process just because he's throwing another hissy fit.

It's not ideal that he does that, correct. But it is legal and therefore should not have a bearing in their decision.

How many times over the course of something this complex will a Justice come to a fork in the road where he/she really could go either way and stay within the confines of the law? I've seen it a number of times the last 2 years where our lawyers were absolutely convinced we were gonna win a point only to see the judge go the other way. And visa versa.

So a Justice needs to make a decision and either way would be acceptable to a final decision. Under the current circumstances it might help them decide.

If you ask a judge why he ruled a certain way the answer will always be "because I did - read the ruling".

:laughing:

"Going either way" literally breaks the confines of the law if a grudge or lack thereof determines the outcome of a case..

If the judge needs "help" in the form of a personal grudge to come to a conclusion, then I believe that they are not fit to be a judge.

Ya know, I really doubt that you tested this idea out.

I've not only heard it from a number of political analysts but our two lawyers confirmed it.They never want to verbalize a decision outside of a court of law. They can actually get in trouble for doing so unless they no longer have a license to practice.

You're doing cocaine with the wrong kinda lawyers man.

the days of appointing judges based on their merit as judges is long gone

Stop watching political analysts.

If I ever became president I'd come to this forum and have you guys vote on what I do and who I appoint.

If I am elected President my first act shall be to sign an executive order turning the forum into a gay porn site.

if i ever become president i wouldn't be able to because i'm canadian

First Melissa McCarthey as Spicer and now Rosie O'Donnel as Bannon? Oooooh, this should be good.

If there is anybody at this point defending Trump's presidency after everything he's done, perhaps along with Trump you need to get your head checked. He's literally not done a single thing worth praising, and what's funny is that even his supporters are cutting ties with him. Just know that if you still support him, you're in the minority. The very very very small minority.

*vomits*

Please, let's not give that woman more publicity. It's morally reprehensible.

Next we'll be seeing Paulie Shore do some salty anti-Trump bit and become a heralded icon for the bitter folks on the left.

The time to say this was actually last year right after the "and some, I assume, are good people" comment

He's been an obvious racist piece of **** since he launched his first campaign on birtherism

Another harsh EO from the Trumperinoooo

But he owns their team now and you gotta stick with your team and the other team is EVIL.

That's sort of my point. If people are still defending him even after his blatant racism and push for a Fascist nazi germany-esque America, then they themselves are clearly not of the opinion that racism or anything is a problem.

Yeah I'm pretty disgusted with white people going "whatever who cares jobs jobs" in the face of obvious bigotry
Being a racist matters just look at his first actions as president


We

Elected

The Birther

Candidate

Luckily white people make up less of this country every year

Can't wait until Mexicans are 75% of Texas anyway

It's already well on its way to being a blue state

You're talking about Anteater, aren't you?
:shycouch:
and Goofle.

Yes

No, this is perfect. Trump hates Rosie. Trump hates women making him or his staff look bad. Trump flipped after the Spicer SNL bit. He'll flat out pop a roid if this comes to fruition.

Can roids pop? If so, this makes me much more wary of them.

But yes...I agree. I hate Rosie, so if I hate Rosie Trump must REALLY hate Rosie. I'm not sure I want to see her in action, but I'll savor the reaction to it.

The enemy of my enemy can still potentially be my enemy if they're ridiculously ****ing awful and an embarrassment for my country.

Go easy on the Donald.

Putin be like that's right call me daddy

Oh good. Catholics.

Hey man whatever as long as they down for socialism

You realize how awesome it's going to be when we yank TX right out from under the confederate flag twirlers

They see the writing on the wall too that's what the Voter ID laws are about

Good luck with that. :laughing:

From what I gather they're down for social conservatism. I have no major problem with immigration, but know what you're buying. Prop 22 didn't pass in California because of college liberals in Berkeley, California. So yeah, you're not replacing *******s with non-*******s. Just more *******s.

They overwhelming vote Democrat at the end of the day you realize that's my point right
