Support NeoGAF

[ThatGayWolf]

Just donated $35 to the ACLU, I strongly encourage anyone who supports their work opposing this bullshit to donate as well, they'll be working overtime for sure.

 

[JP_]

And from now on, Bannon is going to lawyer the fuck up before holding a pen to write another executive order.

Get ready, because while the humiliation may taste sweet, the worst is probably yet to come.

I'm not convinced they will stop this "shoot first, ask questions later" approach. Similar to republicans' anti abortion bills, doing damage before it's defeated in court is a feature, not a bug.

 

[jroc74]

The thing with Darweesh is a perfect example of why doing something like this is insane.

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

Small victories.

Wait, list of people affected? Isn't there like a 130 million affected?

 

[GulAtiCa]

I donated $50. Hope they keep the pressure up .

 

[titiklabingapat]

MSNBC reporting that the stay was granted and no one can be sent back to those countries but they don't know yet if those being detained can be released from detention.

 

[Malvingt2]

Hell yeah.... take that you bully jerk..

 

[PhillipCostigan]

One small step, but hopefully a step to the end of this shit.

Irish guy here who hoped to move to the U.S. for job-related stuff this year. $100 donated to ACLU

fuck Trump

 

[kirblar]

If this goes to the Supreme Court, what's the likely outcome, assuming this happens with Bryor on the court?

They're very going to be at 4-4. (before considering that Kennedy's a swing) McConnell seems unwilling to kill the fillibuster.

 

[Diablos]

The actual make up of the court won't be changed dramatically with a conservative Justice replacing Scalia. The swing is still Kennedy.

Right. Now if someone else steps down...

This is good news but it's fucking infuriating that we are so heavily invested in this President's actions and he hasn't even been there for 10 days. This is not healthy for the nation.

 

[PixelatedBookake]

Even if its temporary, this is still a great blow to Trump. Thank God something was done to mitigate the damage.

 

[Afrodium]

Eat shit Trump.

However, if this only applies to detainees then everyone in transit while the order was signed should now be good and I imagine no one else will be coming. I don't think Trump will track down the handful of people detained in an airport today, so now the Muslim ban is in place with the major disruption ironed out.

 

[StickSoldier]

I cant believe we are already in a scenario where this is necessary.... But I'm glad they halted the ban for, damn sure.

 

[Pau]

Never been prouder that my fiancé works for the ACLU.

Please donate if you can.

Tell 'em thank you.

Donated and as soon as I start my job and get a steady paycheck, will be donating monthly.

 

[Boke1879]

Keep fighting people. This was a much needed win and hopefully sets the groundwork going forward. Keep donating to the ACLU. We'll need them a lot more going foward.

 

[D4Danger]

Wait, list of people affected? Isn't there like a 130 million affected?

No it would be people who were actually trying to travel to and from. Probably a few thousand I would imagine.

 

[hydragonwarrior]

My hope is that he gets a shitty or dumb lawyer (but I am thinking he has links to evil, smart, selfish ones)

 

[Volimar]

Time to bring back an old favorite:

 

[vikki]

A bit of relief in this shit storm. It's kind of nice, although it won't last.

 

[CountAntonius]

Loving this. They will be resisted every step of the way.

 

[chadskin]

Reuters probably sums the court's decision up best:

BREAKING: Federal judge grants emergency stay to temporarily allow people who landed in U.S. with valid visa to remain

[Nomadic Sparks]

I sincerely hope the American people don't forget what the Trump administration just tried to do. This whole event and the ones before it needs to be burned in their minds when they vote in the midterms

You are asking for a lot for a group of people who have awful short term memory

 

[Already Torn]

MSNBC reporting that the stay was granted and no one can be sent back to those countries but they don't know yet if those being detained can be released from detention.

Sounds like nobody knows what to do, but that courts are pretty sure the executive order is unconstitutional.

 

[capitalCORN]

The providence of the just will override the hateful rhetoric of the needlessly frustrated.. Do not stop stop now people. Keep taking to the streets, donate to the ACLU, do not let the future become an effortless reality.

 

[Haines]

Trump is going to react. This is going to get ugly.

 

[Mahonay]

I didn't think I'd hear any good news today. Thank God they stepped in.

 

[NotLiquid]

EDIT: nvm

 

[BronsonLee]

Sounds like nobody knows what to do, but that courts are pretty sure the executive order is unconstitutional.

THANKS BANNON

 

[KuwabaraTheMan]

They're old stock Republicans with lifetime appointments. The court will easily swing 6-2 if not 7-1. They couldn't give a damn what Trump's base thinks and I'd bet most despise him.

If it doesn't go 8-0, then it would be one of the biggest disgraces the court has ever known. Clear violation of the First Amendment, among everything else.

A small victory, but a victory none the less. See guys, it's not impossible

Yeah if i understand this correct the ban stays except for people already in the US or currently underway?

 

[RPGCrazied]

Awesome. Trump twitter meltdown at 5 am?

 

[bionic77]

Fox News is of course defending Trump.

What a bunch of evil cunts.

 

[ctfg23]

Nice. At least there's some good news today.

 

[everyday math]

Judge: "I think the government hasn't had a full chance to think about this"

https://twitter.com/TomNamako/status/825525638115233793

Love the one above.

Judge asked if people would suffer irreparable harm if sent back to dangerous places. Govt essentially didn't have an answer

 

[Gutek]

Fox News is of course defending Trump.

What a bunch of evil cunts.

How? What are they saying?

 

[Game-Biz]

Really hope Trump is super pissed. Actually, I don't hope, I know he is haha.

This little piece of positive short-term news made this night a little bit better. Like others of have said, no one should give Trump a fucking inch, ever.

Blegh.

Great for those individuals though.

 

[Toxi]

 

[D4Danger]

yes because it's illegal to detain them for this reason.

 

[smokeymicpot]

Fox News is of course defending Trump.

What a bunch of evil cunts.

Of course they are and he is probably watching it. Loving every minute of it.

 

[Smiley90]

Yeah if i understand this correct the ban stays except for people already in the US or currently underway?

It SHOULD include all people with valid visas but we'll see.

 

[titiklabingapat]

MSNBC chief legal counsel says that ACLU told him that the ban for future entrants are still in effect. The stay only affects those that are already admitted or already on thier way. Those arriving in the future will still be detained.

 

[Big Baybee]

Trump is going to react. This is going to get ugly.

It's already ugly.

 

[TissueBox]

Wouldya look at that.

 

[Nomadic Sparks]

If we must litigate every one Trump's domestic policy

THEN LET'S LITIGATE EVERYTHING TRUMP DOES

 

[Ferrio]

MSNBC chief legal counsel reporting that the ban for future entrants are still in effect.

Title needs to be updated, that's a big difference.

 

[Mobius 1]

This only the opening salvo in a long and brutal battle ahead.
