re: NY fed judge grants emergency stay on 7-country EO

quote:

---

The court ruled on a habeas corpus petition filed by the ACLU on behalf of Hameed Khalid Darweesh and Sameer Abdulkhaleq Alshawi, who were denied entry to the US upon landing at JFK airport in New York City and detained indefinitely by Customs and Border Patrol. Darweesh spent a decade working for the United States military in Iraq as an interpreter and engineer and had been granted an entry visa after background checks; Alshawi had been granted a visa in order to join his wife and son who are already permanent residents of the US after their similar service with the US military.

Case couldn't have been brought by more deserving people. How do you justify not letting people in who helped the US overseas most probably putting at great risk their own and their families' lives.

All the talk about civics and you don't realize that Trump is the top Executive officer in this country. Do you really think his justice department is going to jail immigration officials for following Trumps order?

I'll give him credit. He seems confident with his assertions.

So a judge over rules a president. That tells you how fricked up we are as a country. If it was last year the judge would be labeled a racist!

Judges make rulings on Executive Branch actions all the time.

This one is just flat wrong. The President has this authority per a specific statute, as well as his general executive authority.

The federal judge is part of a coequal branch of government. This can happen and nothing can be done about it.

People.

This ruling has probably already been appealed.

The Supreme Court has the final stay not some federal judge from NY.

Jesus Christ

As opposed to entry with an invalid visa of course.

Since when is a federal judge part of the Justice Department? Since when does a judge have to go through the Justice Department to issue a bench warrant for contempt of court?

This is an "interim" order, which means the government can't appeal directly. The government has to wait for a final decision, which typically takes the federal courts six months to a year. Even if the court expedites this case, the government probably won't have a chance to appeal until March or April at the earliest.

Does Donnelly sound like a Hispanic name to you?

FYI - in large cities with large number of Irish immigrants, many non-irish change their name to get elected.

One of the many tricks that usually liberals use to get power.

He can get Obama's cell for the multiple times he was found in contempt.

Has anything trump done thus far not been a complete shite show?
