Left wing courts that makes decisions based on the court of public appeal. These judges are looking for popularity. The pres should just write EO halting immigration from everywhere, then they can`t use the religion argument.

@mt9334, to check the half baked ideas of Trump's inexperienced millenial staffers (e.g. Miller) before they do much harm.

The Supreme Court should rule the same. Trump will claim that these laws are needed to protect Americans. The court will ask to see specific evidence that these people are a threat that need to be stopped. Trump will say that he doesn't have anything.
Unless that changes, Trump fans might want to solidify the "activist judge" falsehood.

A judge's course: To become a lawyer, then a judge, you need to be the hardest studying pupil at school. You then need to earn a top university degree with distinction. After that you continue to study hard to pass the bar exam (high fail rate). Thats just the scholarly part. You then need to excel in your career as a lawyer and rank higher than your peers. You would have to show a flawless knowledge of the law. Only then would you be considered to be offered a position as judge where you have to prove transparency or risk losing your position.
Trump's course: You have to be born into money. There is no requirement to study hard at university and no requirement to understand law. You then inherit the family property business. You can run into bankruptcy and bail yourself out with money. You settle court cases outside of court with your money.
Now you tell me, who am I going to listen to when a judicial decision is made in court.?

@Torafusu,
You responded, "... to check the half baked ideas of Trump's inexperienced millenial staffers (e.g. Miller) before they do much harm."

To uphold and apply the law impartially regardless of attempts to exert political pressure or influence by persons trying to corrupt the system. In other words, exactly what they are doing now.

"To uphold and apply the law impartially ..."
Tell me, is what the President of the United States signs into law, a Law?
If, yes...then the courts should enforce it. If, no...then please explain why not?
Strangerland
That's a misdiagnosis. We'd like a leader who has good ideas, makes sensible decisions, and is a unifier. It has nothing to do with following instructions from the populace, but a good leader will make decisions in line with what the populace wants, seeing as he is their representative and leader. Trump was voted in by less than 1/5 Americans, and is making his decisions and basing his actions on what that 20% of the population, not on what the people as a whole want. That's why he's hated.
TorafusuTorasan
@mt9334, no need to get testy. In America's wonderful system of checks and balances, a President's executive order does not need to be accepted as law forever, since if legal experts determine it is an unlawful order, they may challenge it in court all the way up to the Supreme Court. An EO gets an expedited review, which means the Supremes could hand Trump's shellshocked legal team their hineys within the first 1-2 months of his term. That would be an epic moment for the history books.

On TV, don't they say normally 'See you in court!' to the other party, but this Twitter-head tweets it to the whole world!!

bass4funk
You never really saw Obama doing anything truthfully speaking.
I'll bet more than likely the Supreme Court will rule in his favor, for now the left won a temporary stay, but once it gets to the Supreme Court, Trump should prevail, as I said before, not surprised that the most liberal body of court would rule like this, it's ok, Trump has time on his side.
Which is true. Seriously, if you have in the US home grown terrorists with connections to Iran, Yemen, Pakistan and Iraq, I don't think vetting people for an extra 30 or 90 days is going to hurt anyone, inconvenient, probably, but so what? If it was a straight and outright ban or block, ok, but that's not the case.
So you can peer into his mind? If you say that, then the powers and discretion that are given to the president to unilaterally block people from entering the country should be upheld since he is endowed with those powers, if it goes a 4-4 tie, I'm sure that Gorsuch will be the deciding tie breaker and that should put it all to rest after that.
Oh, you think? One thing I tell you, keep watching the TV and please tell me how many Trump supporters you see turning over cars, beating up people, destroying public property and losing their minds and committing acts of violence over this bad ruling. While you search, I'll be waiting, in the meantime gotta get my honey nut Cheerios.

Executive orders cannot create laws they can only clarify or further them. In essence, it's an order on which laws resources should be applied.
The judicial branch serves as the determination on whether executive laws are order. They are one of the checks and balances of the American system.
The courts do enforce laws that are legal. If they are not legal, they repeal them.
Strangerland
They won't.

The left won? A court made a decision, which is part of their responsibility.
The above comment is yet another example of anti-Americanism from US neo-rightists. They continually try to undermine the American system claiming the current president needs more power. Do rightists honestly prefer a system like Turkey, Russia or North Korea where the leader, his family and a handful of oligarchs have control?
Why are US rightists so afraid? You have the largest and most frightening military the world has ever seen, and many of you have military level private arsenals. It must be terrible for you living in the US and being scared all the time.

Yes, on page 10 of the 29 page opinion, they cite some polls of lefty Californians to base their decision.
Unlike your assertion, this is a well written opinion based on law.
The 9th Cir. Ct. describes in detail the legal authority and duty to review executive decisions on matters of so-called national security. One example, is this citation to a Supreme Court decision: "Ex parte Quirin, 317 U.S. 1, 19 (1942) (stating that courts have a duty, “in time of war as well as in time of peace, to preserve unimpaired the constitutional safeguards of civil liberty)”
"it is beyond question that the federal judiciary retains the authority to adjudicate constitutional challenges to executive action." 9th Cir.
"The Government has pointed to no evidence that any alien from any of the countries named in the Order has perpetrated a terrorist attack in the United States. Rather than present evidence to explain the need for the Executive Order, the Government has taken the position that we must not review its decision at all. We disagree, as explained above." 9th Cir.
"Although the Government points to the fact that Congress and the Executive identified the seven countries named in the Executive Order as countries of concern in 2015 and 2016, the Government has not offered any evidence or even an explanation of how the national security concerns that justified those designations, which triggered visa requirements, can be extrapolated to justify an urgent need for the Executive Order to be immediately reinstated." 9th Cir.
In a nutshell, Trump's lawyer failed every legal argument.
Tokyo-Engr
I am withholding comment on the legality of the travel ban as there is actually a law which does allow the President to do this, on the other hand the ban is being extended beyond the point where it can be argued that it is in conflict with the Constitution. The actual result of all this would legally probably be somewhere between both sides of the argument.
What I do continue to find very troubling is that the U.S. President tweets some of this crap on Twitter. This is very immature and is not useful when trying to negotiate or even challenge something.
This type of activity is the number 1 reason I cannot support Trump
Jimizo
"Why are US rightists so afraid? You have the largest and most frightening military the world has ever seen,"
"No, we had."

sangetsu03
There was no way the 9th circuit in San Francisco would rule in favor of the ban; it is the most politicized of the circuit courts. And it is also the court which has the worst record of having it's rulings overturned by the Supreme Court.
The case will go to the Supreme Court, and the ban will very likely be upheld. In matters of immigration, the executive branch has great powers. There have been similar bans on a smaller scale enacted in the past, some against the very same countries named in Trump's ban.
Trump went about this rather in the wrong way. Back in 1992, one of the first things Bill Clinton did was fire every single federal judge, and appoint new ones in their place. Trump could have done the same, and then signed is executive orders after he had replaced the judges. But of course, if Trump had done the same thing Bill Clinton had done, there would have been mayhem.

Left wing courts that makes decisions based on the court of public appeal. LOL and the same can be said for the supreme court if they decide in Trumps favour.

There was no mayhem because Clinton never did it. He fired several US Attorneys, not Federal Judges. Federal judges have a lifetime appointment and can only by removed by the Senate (following impeachment by the House--same formula for removing the President).
viking68
Agreed, but for different reasons.
It isn't some lefty conspiracy, the EO as written is unconstitutional. The 9th Cir. is acutely aware of the likelihood of appeal to the S. Ct. and, unlike the President and the AG, addressed the constitution questions. It is unlikely to be overturned.
There may be a different result at the Dist. Ct. level as that case is still ongoing. The Trump admin may miraculously produce evidence of a threat the EO is intended to address, but if they had that evidence, they would have already presented it.
Let's be serious, drafting and signing the EO was only political theater.
If it wasn't political theater, the EO would have been drafted correctly and constitutionally.

bass4funk: "He tweeted: "See you in court." 'Nuff said!"
True that! It speaks volumes of proof that your president is mentally unstable, childish, and unable to accept things that he does not agree with. It'll be turned down at the Supreme Court as well, and then what? He'll threaten and declare martial law? Hahaha. The man is not fit to be president, which is why more than 40% of hte nation now wants his impeachment. Of course, I have no doubt he'll threaten those on the Supreme Court before it goes there.

Trump thinks he is the "fuhrer" or leader of the USA. No he is the President and has to work within the US Constitution first, then US laws and lastly codified laws as regulations. Trump is a man child with small hands which indicates insecurity. He was spoiled as a child and bullied his way to his fortune. Sorry Trump that will not work as President. I received a second University Degree while in the US on leave of absence. I found it very informing about the US system of checks and balances. I was worried about Trump being elected but now think the US will be alright. I give him a few more months before his resigns or Article 25 of the US Constitution is imposed.

The most ignorant moron ever to come within 1000 yards of the White House! Not surprising that he knew nothing about the workings of the American constitution before he came into office, but shouldn't it have occurred to him to study up a bit since then? Maybe he can get the podcast or 'talking book' version so he doesn't have to actually read anything. But if he continues tweeting while it plays, he will continue to learn nothing of course.

What's disgraceful is putting the rights of immigrants before we the tax payers, before we the legal citizens & those who served to protect our rights.

The courts shouldn't enforce it for two reasons.
First, there's this this pesky thing called the U.S. Constitution. If a law is unconstitutional, it's not a law.
Second, the courts' job is legal interpretation, not legal enforcement. You know whose job it is to enforce (not make) law? The U.S. President's job. According to the Constitution, the U.S. president has to "take care that the laws be faithfully executed" and "preserve, protect and defend the Constitution". The courts are obligated to invalidate unconstitutional laws, and that's what they've done.
Why was the presidential order unconstitutional? It's all here:

One thing is confusing me, Trump has had his day in court. Why would he tell a judge, "I will see you in court?" The 9th appeals court is a court. Second if it goes to the Supreme court, I do not thing the judges from the 9th court will be there. My guy says if it goes to the Supreme Court the best Trump will get is a tie. Still why did Trump say "I will see you in court?" Will Trump present evidence to the Supreme Court?

Keep up Serrano, in Krauthammer's latest Wapo column he rips Trump for bringing this case, calling it a "pointless cul-de-sac where even winning is losing" because it is low-priority grandstanding built on sketchy campaign promises.
viking68
That is just tough guy talk.
Facts are not really presented at the Supreme Court. If evidence needs to be considered, it is "remanded" or sent back to lower trial courts. So, really evidence (if any) will be presented at the district court level, and the district court will rule on the evidence, i.e., will allow the evidence.
The Supreme Court is focused on whether a law (or court ruling) is constitutional. They also rule in cases where there are differences in opinion amount the appellate courts. Many cases are appealed to the Supreme Court, but very few cases are heard.
Lawyers basically make constitutional arguments at the Supreme Court. Only lawyers may present arguments at the Supreme Court.
No Trump will not show up in any Court. He probably never showed up in court except when he was being deposed as a witness, e.g., the Trump University scams.

Yeah, yeah, right....like you and all the other libs on JT kept squealing that when Obama was in office the GOP is done, never get elected to anything, kept winning gubernatorial races, won back the House, the Senate, the presidency, gained more legislative seats, said Trump would never run, be nominated, would never win. I'll say this, when it comes to Dems and libs making predictions, I would take it with a teeny tiny grain of salt. Anyway, I'll be happy when this gets overturned so that Trump can get back to business on this important issue.

These recommendations are necessary, but they do not address the heart of the problem identified by the authors: "With rising threats around the globe, and a military force diminishing in size, readiness, technological supremacy and some key capabilities, now is the time to make the major changes necessary to renew America's strength." To meet our future security needs effectively, we must include future investment in the discussion. Put simply, we have the best force for large, conventional theater operations,but not the best force for current and future conflicts. Precision weapons, nanotechnology, unmanned systems, autonomous systems, cyberweapons, the proliferation of night-vision devices, the prevalence of social media and small, flexible military and paramilitary formations have given political leaders an alternative to massing forces.
I know it's the largest, but not the strongest, that's what I mean by our military being degraded and rapidly.
lostrune2
They've been in court!
Unless he wasn't taking this seriously enough - they've been in court all along, and the decision was unanimous by judges appointed by Democratic and Republican presidents.
If Trump appeals this to the Supreme Court and the Supreme Court ends up in a 4-4 tie, then this Appellate Court decision becomes the final say on the matter - and thus establishes the precedent. (BTW, that's how Obama's immigration Executive Order was struck down - a 4-4 Supreme Court tie, thus leaving the lower court ruling against it. Trump may lead the same fate.)
But if Trump puts aside his ego for awhile, he can avoid setting a precedent. He can just swallow this defeat, void this hastily created Executive Order, and create a new Executive Order - but this time, have it first vetted by the Justice Dept, the Congress lawmakers, Homeland Security, etc. to make sure that it would pass Constitutional muster and challenges.
But can Trump learn to pick his fights, or would he risk it all setting a precedent that could be used against any and all his future immigration Executive Orders
Legal courts are still based on evidence. Trump has been trying to fight this in the Court of Public Opinion; yet if ya have ever sat in a legal court, the plaintiff and the defense both present arguments about their opinions of their own version of the events - but the judge always instructs that only those arguments that are supported by evidence would be considered, while those arguments that are not backed up by evidence would be disregarded.
The Trump White House did not or unable to provide evidence to support their arguments; thus the Appellate Judges unanimously ruled against such unsupported arguments. Legal courts are still evidence-based - ya can't just make an argument without evidence to show for it and expect it to be considered true in a legal court. The only arguments that can be considered true in a legal court must be supported by evidence that's presented.
PTownsend
Good on you for looking to support your argument. Good on you for using CNN. However, there's nothing in the articles saying the US military is not the strongest; strongest is your word. The writers are saying the military needs to be upgraded to be better equipped to fight present and future wars. That's their opinion.
The writers are part of the US military industrial complex; of course they're going to say the US needs to upgrade.
Another example of your anti-Americanism, claiming that only people who think like you can be Americans. The coastal states are part of the US, as are the flyover states and the US south. The US is a diverse nation; deal with it.

Yeah, the left would say that.
I'm not worried, just a matter of time before the ban goes back into affect.
SuperLib
Then please explain it to me, bass. It sounds like your position is that the business side trump's the security side, but the security side is tantamount.
You mean the ban doesn't impact countries where terrorists actually came from? Must be the classic Republican plan of inventing a problem then inventing a solution that doesn't even address the fake problem.
bass4funk
I already stated my point, also it's not ONLY Trump, leave the president out of this, the US has had a very long and complicated business agreement with the Saudis for years, not including the sale of oil to the US. You have to walk a fine line with them.
Yeah, Trump was trying to, but the libs blocked it and well, you know the rest.
No, the problem is screaming apoplectic Democrats and liberals that think every person should be allowed to come in and take advantage of us, the country, our open borders and then when something happens, they are the first ones to complain about security. Ohhh, the liberal mind, all them veggies and not a lot to show.

When a judge who helped derail President Donald Trump's travel ban was hit with online threats, the abuse raised safety concerns among jurists across the country, and experts are worried that the president's own attacks on the judiciary could make judges a more inviting target. (news quote)
