Holy straw man.

The courts overstated the executive's position to pretend that they're the rational ones, IMO.


That's probably fair, but when the government doesn't even come with a coherent argument it's kind of hard to let them win.

Not normally. I would agree that they could be subject to judicial review. But the court needs to provide a clearer basis for their review than "some professors had some hardship getting to the state university."

If the executive has to submit intelligence data to the court to justify a security decision with regards to an immigration question, we've strayed pretty far into the weeds. What special knowledge do the judges have to accurately evaluate intelligence data? I'd submit they have almost none. They think they're so wise that they would make the right decision? No.

It's just an example. The president doesn't have unlimited power is the point.

The WH didn't try to. They asserted that these decisions aren't subject to judicial review. And normally they wouldn't be. It's just that the 9th and the whackaninny in Washington decided Trump is an existential threat to the country and that they therefore do have review over security decisions with respect to immigration.


This is why people faulting the WH strategy are missing the boat, I think there is probably a very deliberate attempt here to not acknowledge such a burden.

I agree. And National Review pointed out the issue with making this EO without your legal team in place to defend it.

Courts do not have unlimited judicial review on the other branches of government. Read the constitution.

No doubt. But its not really analogous.

Correct. So why hasn't the court intervened with the restrictions previous Presidents put upon immigration?

I keep seeing this parroted. Yes, they are overturned in the Supreme Court at that rate, currently. That's usually why cases end up in the Supreme Court. Their decisions are not overturned 80% of the time.

And to complete your thought for you, is this one headed to SCOTUS?

--US v. Arizona:

Arizona attempts to involve itself in immigration matters because it is harmful to its economy and burden on its residents.

Fedgov judicial system tell them stay out, it is the exclusive power and jurisdiction of Fedgov. You have no standing.

--Washington v. US

Washington demands standing says that Fedgov must butt out and stop interfering with its residents because it is harmful to their economy and a burden to their residents.

Fedgov judicial system tells Fedgov you stay out, you don't have that kind of authority.


ONCE AGAIN, the left shows that it only seeks the result it wants first, and secondly works itself into a complicated frenzy to justify it.

THE RULE OF LEFT IS:

THERE ARE NO RULES BUT THE ONES THAT GIVE US GOOD FEELS.

No but when constitutional rights are allegedly being violated they have essentially unlimited power to provide a remedy. I don't like it but the 14th amendment makes that pretty clear.

Congress authorized him to make findings. They didn't impose a standard, such as reasonableness. He is Arthur height of his power here. But I think the court has long since imposed a standard in such situations. I can't remember what it is, though.

Question should be whether they analyzed that issue.

The WH really doomed this with poor drafting and a poor rollout.

We will see what the SCOTUS does on appeal of the TRO. Trump will easily win on the merits though.

The problems he doesn't have to. The statute is clear on that.


It boggles the mind that you could look directly at that statute and read that the President has autocratic absolute unchecked power. The President has to make a finding that entry of the class of aliens would be detrimental to the United States. That exercise of discretion is afforded great deference, but the President must still put forward a rational basis for the determination.

Rather than putting forward anything, the President asserted that he has unlimited power to do whatever he wants whenever he wants and that the judiciary has absolutely no power or authority to review it.

The way Trump framed the issue, he would either emerge as a king, or he would lose. That was the gamble he took. He lost. This will not be reviewed by the Supreme Court. If it is, it won't be overturned.

It would be both unconstitutional and illegal. The law gives the POTUS clear authority to say who can and cannot enter the US but it does not give him the authority to put them in camps.

Good thing the EO didn't say anything about putting anyone into camps.
