So according to the US attorney the intention of the ban was to give the president time to come up with improved vetting techniques, so where are they.




Judges hit Trump lawyer with tough questions over revised travel ban | Reuters
Wall said the temporary ban was intended to give the government time to evaluate whether people from the six countries were being subjected to adequate vetting to ensure they did not pose a security threat to the United States.

But he said the administration had not been able to proceed on all the work it wanted to do because of the litigation, noting "we have put our pens down."

Poor Trump snowflakes. The system of checks and balances won't allow Donald to ban people due to their religion. Stupid "so-called" judges!
That isn't what the Court is for. They have no "check and balance" function, except the Supreme Court may rule a law "unconstitutional." The Courts cannot even act unless a lawsuit is filed. The Legislative Branch is the least powerful branch of government. The Congress has the most power, with the Executive Branch second in power.

The Courts can only rule on the law. They do not make law. They cannot usurp the President's Constitutional power, which is what they did in this case. That's why they are wrong.

LOL! You mean like knowing the 3 branches of government, the powers of the presidency or how a bill becomes law?

By the way, the first "liberal" Federal judge to block the travel ban was a lifetime Republican appointed by a Republican POTUS.
Incorrect. The President sets immigration policy.

And, yes, that's what I mean.

You really need to read the decision.

You seem to forget that Trump ran on a "Muslim Ban" not a "Travel Ban". You should really read the decision.

This is a lie.

80% of cases that the Supreme Court agrees to hear are overturned, but that amounts to less than 0.1% of ninth circuit decisions.

OK, I'll repeat it for the 3rd time, next I'll be drawing you mislead people a picture.

You guys keep inserting the Supreme court in here.....

As pointed out in the OP, which you people grazed over and in haste wanted to slam me personally.....
Many of these don't make it to the Supreme Court, because the democrat political capital isn't there in it. It is reversed in another circuit court, 80% of the time in the last 16 years. Since Clinton replaced over 90 Federal litigators.

No, the 9th Circuit isn't the 'most overturned court in the country,' as Hannity says | PunditFact

You didn't read the entire OP....
You make it sound as if I said, "since its inception".

The 9th courts decision wasn't based upon the letter of the law. The USA security and safety has been placed into jeopardy, based upon Politics.
It is treasonous to jeopardize the security and safety of the nations people. That is why the President has the authority to ban anyone for any reason. Even if it were for their radical violent religion.
