Vegas Bengal? I saw someone say awhile ago that you are like Vegas Bengal in your posting. Who was Vegas Bengal again?

Of course it would. It wouldn't even get through the House. Like I said, this is not going to be the only bump in the road for Donald. There's no reason to overreact.

What legal argument did the judge use to support his decision?
In your opinion what would be an abuse of power by a judge?

The judge granted a Temporary Restraining Order, the decision to grant a TRO is not a decision on the merits. For instance both DAPA and DACA were hit with a TRO, but those EOs were ultimately upheld.
So the court here did not rule the EO constitutional. One of the requirements to grant a TRO is that there is a harm for which there is not an adequate remedy at law (at law in this context means monetary damages) which then justifies granting equitable relief (the TRO).

What in your view has the Seattle judge done that is impeachable? Going against El Trumpo doesn't count.

Kind of have to wait for the brief before we determine that
You need to look up what "abuse of power" in this situation means. It doesn't encompass all actions that you think it does

Strannix why don't you give us your review of why the decision is definitively "wrong".

How old do you think I am?
As far as being a "bastard" I know who my married parents are. Do you?
And there's a difference between being skeptical and cynical. And it's a very healthy difference.

I've read the TRO...it doesn't really go into the merits of the filing just the basis for granting a TRO...has anyone seen the briefs that led the judge to conclude that the states were likely to prevail on the merits?

I haven't read either brief, I will say that a "likelihood of success on the merits" is not the same as "likely to succeed on the merits." The test is closer to "plaintiffs have asserted a claim which would survive a motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim."

I will ask again.
What is abuse of power by a judge?
We know what perjury, bribary and sexual assault are, but I am not sure what abuse of power would be. Is it possible that it could have anything to do with a ruling and non legal reasoning for the ruling?

Ah yes. Impeach any judge who disagrees with God Emperor. What could possibly go wrong with that precedent?

I guess it's whatever the House wants to accuse them of. Looks like some of the OG judges were too damn drunk to perform their duties. Some of them probably hit on the first lady. I guess those could still apply today. Maybe this Robart guy is a warlock. I'm sure Donald's people are on it.
