Obama's solicitor general totally fricked up the ObamaCare case once and he still won because Roberts decided to be concerned about an image that he did not need to be worried about.

No i voted for him in the primaries.

Then after all the stories start to come out, i thought he was a fraud, he didn't meant what he said., and I thought he had zero chance of winning. I was wrong on both.

Yep....but I think Trump and most people with a brain know that whatever the decision of the 9th, it would be appealed, so tank it and let the Supremes make the definitive say.

He's not an Obama guy, he's a 20-year career employee who got dropped in at the last minute (which is looking like a bad call)

The judge question "do you have any evidence implicating these countries in terrorism?" he started blabbering about nothing


He should have told the judge it's not the judges job to evaluate the threat, it's his job to decide if the president can issue this order based on the presidents evaluation of the threat

(Hint: it is)

The real questions should be why are these judges questioning evidence and the judgement of the president. Argue the law or constitutionality, but asking questions about terrorists or past actions is ridiculous.

Reply should have been :

The previous administration felt there was enough of a threat to put these 7 countries on a terror list.

At least the judge is being slightly hostile back to the State, but now playing softball.

If this was actually the question at issue the DOJ would be toast. Be glad it isn't.

Trump has law on his side but it doesn't come directly from the Constitution.

A career lawyer from the DOJ that was in the same pool of lawyers that couldn't find enough evidence to prosecute Hillary? Hard to believe.

If they didn't put specific terrorism allegations in the record at the district court, Atticus Finch himself couldn't get this TRO stayed

Why is this a burden? Is the Executive Branch not allowed to determine what is a threat and what is not? How is the judicial branch qualified to determine security threats?

The Constitution does not give the President unlimited authority over immigration. The courts have traditionally been VERY deferential of the Executive when it comes to immigration, but that does not mean that the authority is unlimited.

As an example of the President tried to deny citizens access to the country (or green card holders) then they would have a due process claim.

In any event the judiciary can take up a case on the constitutionality of an EO. The courts took up DACA and DAPA. Where the courts take up a case they may, in their discretion, issue a TRO. That happened to both DAPA and DACA.

I've said multiple times the EO is constitutional. That isn't at issue here though.
