She's a lib, therefore a Muslim apologist.

She probably said it aloud so that it would be on record

My first thought, but the argument is in the brief,and thus the record, you can bet that. The question is disturbing.

The DOJ lawyer did not mention it in the Washington case or the 9th circuit one.

Why is that?

If they thought it was important or relevant, why was that information not presented?

So give me a specific example where there was terrorist activities from those countries and then give an example where an equivalent of those terrorist activities were conducted by a country not banned.

Must be an ignorant judge to have never heard of the concept of Judicial Notice.

quote:

Judicial Notice
A doctrine of evidence applied by a court that allows the court to recognize and accept the existence of a particular fact commonly known by persons of average intelligence without establishing its existence by admitting evidence in a civil or criminal action.

The oral arguments cannot use written information that was not submitted

Did this question make more sense in your head?

This would have been my answer.

"Hmmm, let me think. Iran, Iraq, Syria, Sudan, Libya, Yemen, Somalia.

No your honor, there has never been a documented case of terrorism or terrorist from these countries.

Are you fricking retarded your honor?"

The judiciary cannot make decisions of national security. They cannot make decisions on whether one threat is greater than another, one country more dangerous than another, one class of aliens more dangerous than another.

The executive branch has full authority to make determinations of risk via immigration.

The fact that they even asked questions about evidence shows what political hacks they are.

This is strictly a separation of powers case.

to give a perfectly reasonable response, it's very likely because this whole situation was done procedurally in a way to frick the DOJ and give no time to really prepare. that's why a single district court granting what amounted to a nationwide injuncton with major standing issues is somewhat insane

but

1. it has to do so within statutory authority granted to the executive

2. it cannot violate constitutional requirements

those are the 2 real issues in this case

Yes, that is true, but asking about specific terrorist threats has nothing to do with either of those.

Asking about the Muslim/religion issue is legit, but the judges are not qualified to make threat assessments.

And not a transcript, which is a written account. It was just a stupid thing for me to point out.
