9th Circuit Court Ruling WA V Trump
- minimaxir 10y agoTrump has commented on this ruling on Twitter: > SEE YOU IN COURT, THE SECURITY OF OUR NATION IS AT STAKE! https://twitter.com/realdonaldtrump/status/829836231802515457 https://twitter.com/realdonaldtrump/status/82983623180251545...
- mschuster91 10y agoThis sounds so incredibly child-ish. I wonder if Trump listens to ANY advice when it comes to his Twitter feed...
- krapp 10y agoI doubt it. This is someone who refuses regular intelligence briefings because he's "a smart guy" and therefore doesn't need to be told what he thinks he already knows.
- Dagwoodie 10y agoHaven't read the ruling, but from the Bloomberg story it seems the 9th circuit seemed to argue from a position of political idealism and not from the law. Maybe it's just buried in the decision but the Executive has long enjoyed full-control of the nation's immigration policies. In fact, Arizona was slapped down for trying to enforce immigrations at the state level that the federal was refusing to enforce under President Obama. It seems like this is just another highly politicized decision and most likely, Trump will simply re-do the order or recruit congress to enact new laws.
- mjmsmith 10y ago"The Government indeed asserts that it violates separation of powers for the judiciary to entertain a constitutional challenge to executive actions such as this one. There is no precedent to support this claimed unreviewability, which runs contrary to the fundamental structure of our constitutional democracy."
- zanethomas 10y agoFrom a (very) quick scan of the document it seems to me that a new executive order skirting the possibly legitimate objections would have a much better chance of success in front of The Supremes.
- mschuster91 10y agoThat might be possible, but I still have a spark of hope that what Trump did - basically "burning" the idea of a muslim ban by having it rejected by the courts - is just him trying to get rid of a campaign promise that cannot be fulfilled without violating the constitution. He now can simply claim "I did all I could, the nasty courts stopped me though" when someone tries to hold him accountable. Same for that wall idea. Mexico won't pay a dime for it, and it's going to cost a boatload of money that has to be allocated by Congress first. So, the wall won't be built as there's no money, and Trump can claim "nasty Congress stopped me".
