Trump's Muslim Ban 2.0 Bites The Dust In Hawai'i
 

https://www.washingtonpost.com/local...=.e2a63ff7f198

"A federal judge in Hawaii has frozen President Trump’s new executive order temporarily barring the issuance of new visas to citizens of six-Muslim majority countries and suspending the admission of new refugees.
U.S. District Judge Derrick K. Watson froze the order nationwide.
Watson was the second of three judges to hear arguments Wednesday on whether to freeze the ban. A federal judge in Maryland said he also could rule before day’s end after a morning hearing, and the same federal judge in Washington state who suspended Trump’s first travel ban was set to hear arguments starting at 5 p.m. Eastern.
The hearing in Hawaii came in response to a lawsuit filed by the state itself. Lawyers for Hawaii alleged the new travel ban, much like the old, violates the establishment clause of the First Amendment because it is essentially a Muslim ban, hurts the ability of state businesses and universities to recruit top talent and damages the state’s robust tourism industry."

Huh. Where's all that winning Trump said we were going to get so tired of? Lol. Seems he's not won a damn thing yet...

after all the obstructionism and dis-respect president Obama had to face the longer this goes on the better I feel. I hope he flips his orange lid!

Every time a judge rules against Trump an angel gets it's wings. :cool:

And fortunately he cannot fire these judges. I doubt if he even regrets his mocking Judge Robart, who also happens to be a decent caring person by all accounts.

What a shame. The rubes are gonna get restless.

Not so quick my friend. We must remember republican "code" speak.

When republicans say "we", they don't mean you and I "We" is republican code for the 1%, big business, banking and wall street. That's is who drives the republican party, that is their "we"; not you nor I nor the working men and women who were duped into putting that filthy little man in office.

The republican "we" are indeed winning and winning large. Cuts to the EPA, cuts in banking regulations, cuts in consumer and employee protections and big MIC spending and abolition of health care protections are all big wins for the republican "we" people.

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—Hinting darkly that “there’s something going on,” Donald J. Trump complained on Friday that he has been treated “very unfairly” by the people who wrote the United States Constitution.
“If the Constitution prevented me from doing one or two things, I’d chalk that up to bad luck,” he said. “But when literally everything I want to do is magically a violation of the Constitution, that’s very unfair and bad treatment.”

Lashing out at the document’s authors, Trump said that “America is a great country, but we have maybe the worst constitution writers in the world.”
“Russia has much better constitution writers than we do,” he said. “I talked to Putin, and he said their constitution never gives him problems.”
“The situation is very unfair!” he added.

In an ominous warning, Trump said that, as of Friday, he was putting the writers of the U.S. Constitution “on notice.”
“I don’t have their names yet, but that’s something I’m looking into,” he said. “These jokers are not going to get away with this.” New Yorker

Ha! That was funny!

Well the 1% who have fancy condos in Miami beach are not exactly winning the first floors are generally underwater - climate change? Nah couldn't be.:)

And Trump loses another round, bigly! Getting tired of all the "winning" yet?

It makes you wonder where Trump hired his legal team. Other than that inbred Alabama weasel as AG, I'm guessing he hired the others off Craigslist.

Fixed that for ya. ;)

I'd venture alt-reich.

Seems that the Ban Talk is for the consumption of The Deplorables.

U.S. Quietly Lifts Limit on Number of Refugees Allowed In
So the rhetoric does not match actions it seems and wonder who is in charge anymore!

'All The President's Tweets'
 

Early this morning, apparently in response to a segment on Morning Joe, President Trump unleashed a Twitter storm about the travel ban cases, one of which has been appealed to the Supreme Court.

These missives followed his Saturday-night tweet, issued shortly after the terrorist attack on London Bridge:

As a threshold matter, it is entirely inappropriate for Presidents to comment on cases while they are pending before the judiciary. Calling the courts “slow and political” is beyond the pale. I dedicated an entire chapter in my book Unraveled on presidential commentary from Franklin D. Roosevelt to Barack Obama concerning pending Supreme Court cases. Alas, we have moved far beyond the usual bounds of objections, so I will put this aside for the moment. Far more pressing is what these barbs reveal about the President’s grasp of his own administration, and how it affects the appeal in IRAP v. Trump.

First, his tweets show utter disregard for the Justice Department’s legal strategy. According to the Solicitor General, the 90-day ban on entry from certain countries was never meant to be a permanent policy. Rather, it was a pause designed to provide the government an opportunity to reassess its vetting procedures. By insisting on calling the policy a “travel ban”—notwithstanding his attorney’s insistence to the courts that this is not what the policy about—the President undermines the Solicitor General’s arguments about the nature of the policy. Here, the “sole organ” puts his foot in his mouth." Lawfare
