9th Circuit Court of Appeals upholds injunction against Trump travel ban

Another federal court has ruled against President Donald Trump's revised executive order limiting travel from six predominately Muslim countries.

The ruling from a three-judge panel of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals is yet another stinging loss from a court that similarly refused to reinstate Trump's original executive order on travel in February.

"We conclude that the President, in issuing the Executive Order, exceeded the scope of the authority delegated to him by Congress," the judges wrote.
The judges largely affirmed a Hawaii judge's decision from March which found the core provisions of the revised executive order -- temporarily blocking all refugees and foreign nationals from six Muslim-majority countries from entering the US -- likely violated the Constitution because its primary purpose was to disfavor Muslims.

Monday's ruling will no doubt be appealed to the Supreme Court, which is already considering a similar case from the 4th US Circuit Court of Appeals in Virginia.

I'm so thankful we have a court system that keeps toxic presidential administrations in line.

Many countries don't have this feature and have to suffer through regimes...

Also fucking LOL at using the tweets against him. What a joke of a president.

Ahahaahahahahahahahaahhahaa

He's not going to learn, either. Every tweet he's made since becoming president (and possible many beforehand) will now be tossed in as official statements during these cases, but he'll keep ranting and raving nonetheless.

He's not so much shooting himself in the foot as putting his foot in a hydraulic press and holding down the on button as his foot is slowly pulverized.

Of course it did, that piece of crap executive order is going nowhere, just on it's own merits. Now that Trump himself is working against it, it's just shit-show theater.
 
How do these rulings work? If there's at least one court who strikes down these bans, that's it? What if another court in another party of the country ruled the opposite?

Daaaamn...what other tweets by Trump could be used against him in Court?

Since the Spicer quote has fucked him for good.

All the more reason *not* to ever shut down Trump's Twitter account (like I've heard some people suggest).

How do these rulings work? If there's at least one court who strikes down these bans, that's it? What if another court in another party of the country ruled the opposite?

It would be sent up to the Supreme Court and they'd rule on it. Even if multiple jurisdictions came to the same conclusion, the administration could choose to appeal it to the Supreme Court themselves.
