A federal judge absolutely has the authority to put a stop to an executive order. Do you seriously believe presidents can rule like dictators and not be subject to the courts?

Federal judge. Checks and balances.

They are upholding the Judges orders. It does not pertain to anyone not having a current visa, thus preventing new immigration from these countries.

I do think the judge made a reasonable and fair decision in modifying the EO.

I agree, it was the reasonable thing to do. Contrary to what is being pushed out there though, the order does nothing regarding allowing new immigrants from those countries from not entering. It only effects those that have current visas. Seems logical.

What law did Trump break by signing this executive order? Link please.

What the article said was the federal judge in N.Y. issued a temporary "stay" And it only helped those folks who have visas in hand that are already landed in the U.S. or in route.

My favorite Media word of the day is "Chaos".
50 people show up to protest and the media has the US in upheaval.

Go ahead. The stories of families who went on vacation and can't come back to their jobs, homes, cars etc, of women and children separated from husbands and fathers because one or the other was out of the country when Trump signed his order will proliferate and damage the Trump administration. People wanted to be assured of reasonable checks on refugees not war on legally admitted resident aliens.

The US govt has the right to revoke visas at any time just sayin
