This judge was appointed by H.W., too, so any crying about Obama or activist judges won't really hold any water.

He was blacked!

 

[PurpleMoustache]

So can someone who knows legal stuff better than I do explain what this means?

I know the earlier ACLU case was a "stay" a temporary ban on the ban until a larger court case could be held. And I know this isn't the larger court case (that would probably be Supreme Court, right?), but does this have any additional effects other then the ACLU case? Will airport workers take this one more seriously than the previous one (which they pretty much disreguarded)? Does this provide legal ammunition towards the final fight?

 

[wanderingprostheyltite]

Nationwide

Excellent.

 

[Tovarisc]

They're gonna continue applying it regardless.

If they do it's Round 2 for courts, Marshals and government on enforcing it. Will they do better?

Just two weeks in and the fact that this quote holds so much weight is astounding

 

[Lord Frieza]

Let's see if this asshole wants to pretend he's Andrew Jackson.

Jackson?

 

[KuwabaraTheMan]

Let's hope they don't ignore the courts again.

 

[Hindenblewp]

Well, between Inslee getting appropriately pissed and this, I'm pretty proud of my state.

 

[Skellig Gra]

How does this help all the people who had their visas revoked?

 

[Nobility]

Great news, not over but a positive action.

I wonder how long until we hear the blowback, live on Twitter!

I thought the Super Bowl would be the main event this weekend, maybe not..

 

[Dark Cloud]

So, this ended the ban for now?

 

[Lord Frieza]

How does this help all the people who had their visas revoked?

It doesn't, but one step at a time and all that.

 

[Mortemis]

Let's go. Our AG putting in the work.

No doubt Trump's gonna say stupid shit and act like the court has no power though.

 

[Lonestar]

How does this help all the people who had their visas revoked?

Not sure, but I still think a Fed court in Virginia is asking for detailed list of who was denied visas.

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

This showdown is coming sooner or later. The courts can't let Trump walk all over them or it will set the tone for his whole term.

If Federal law enforcement fails to enforce the judge's orders then the states need to send in their own law enforcement to arrest the feds.

 

[superdeluxe]

I'm concerned that he'll simply ignore the order, then arrest anyone that tries to enforce it. CBP ignored the previous judicial decision without consequence, so they already know they can get away with it.

Well if it gets to that, we have a coup don't we?

As I understand it, the ACLU stay dealt with people who got to the US and were being detained and shipped back. So only people who were getting in the US were impacted, but people could still be barred from getting on planes and flying here.

This is going at the ban itself--basically saying the EO is unconstitutional and he can't just ban Muslim countries and then pretend that's not what he's doing. So this should mean people can actually come here again--i.e., UW students and staff being barred from flying back to the US ought to be able to get on planes again.

 

[Lord Frieza]

And that's really where we start getting into some real civil war territory.

The problem is the visa revocation.

 

[bananafactory]

Sean Spicer said Get On Board or Get Out

Can't wait to see how he responds to this

 

[Feep]

Hero.

 

[RumblingRosco]

This is how to resist. Get some logical judges on our side that understand the law.

 

[superdeluxe]

And that's really where we start getting into some real civil war territory.

Honestly I think the military would step in and take control of DC and dispose of trump and we would have new elections before we got to civil war.

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

If that's where this has to go, then so be it.

 

[gutshot]

From CNN:

A Customs and Border Patrol spokesman told CNN the agency will review the order and comply with all court orders.

Sounds promising. Now to see what Trump says...

 

[RinsFury]

Wow, a judge can actually overrule the President? This is amazing news!

 

[Chezzymann]

Why isn't this getting more replies? This is huge.

 

[superdeluxe]

Wow, a judge can actually overule the President? This is amazing news!

No one is above the law or the constitution

 

[Tovarisc]

From CNN:

They said that last time too.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Wow, a judge can actually overrule the President? This is amazing news!

Yep, he was right when he said the President isn't above the law. Trump has to be careful or he could be impeached or arrested if he doesn't watch out.

 

[RinsFury]

No one is above the law or the constitution

For now, at least.

 

[Shoeless]

Well if it gets to that, we have a coup don't we?

I think it may come to that.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

Wow, a judge can actually overrule the President? This is amazing news!

Checks and balances. Legislature makes the laws, Executive enforces it, Court interprets it.

 

[PJV3]

I hope sanity prevails and Trump accepts this, this is no way to run a country.

 

[Particle Physicist]

Checks and balances. Legislature makes the laws, Executive enforces it, Court interprets it.

Theoretically.

 

[Azure Dream]

Yep, he was right when he said the President isn't above the law. Trump has to be careful or he could be impeached or arrested if he doesn't watch out.

He won't know this unless Fox News tells him. As long as they don't bring that up, we have a chance.

 

[Tovarisc]

He won't know this unless Fox News tells him. As long as they don't bring that up, we have a chance.

But he watches CNN daily and reads NYT religiously?

 

[ultron87]

Yeah judge, get em!

 

[freethoughtbubble]

Rule of law, motherfucker.

 

[capitalCORN]

Bring the fight!

 

[GhaleonEB]

From CNN:

They said that about the first ones and ignored them completely.

 

[superdeluxe]

From Vicente Fox on twitter

Judge Robart, your actions trump hate and are as loud as all the voices of America and abroad together. @realDonaldTrump needs to listen!

 

[ElRenoRaven]

They said that about the first ones and ignored them completely.

That's why I hope this judge has the guts to go oh hell no and actually send folks to start throwing people ignoring them in jail.

 

[Lord Frieza]

Yeah judge, get em!

.

 

[How About No]

They said that about the first ones and ignored them completely.

They can't follow court orders if they go "LA LA LA LA I CANT HEAR YOU" when the judge speaks

 

[Curufinwe]

They can't follow court orders if they go "LA LA LA LA I CANT HEAR YOU" when the judge speaks

They can do that all way to Washington state jail cells.

 

[ZeoVGM]

Beautiful.

Now to wait for the response.

 

[Soroc]

Selfishly I love that this happened late Friday when Trump was on his way to Mar-a-Lago for a short vacation LOL, can't wait to see your childish tweets at 6am

 

[Holepunch]

I'll be happy if they call the Marshalls when this inevitably gets disobeyed. Otherwise the system still isn't working.

 

[Gutek]

Get fucked sideways, Trump.
