Well, it ought to be interesting. Petitioned by the WA AG based on "due process" and other alleged Constitutional violations as well as other regulations and statutes. Supported with testimonials by Tech execs (Expedia,Amazon)...who, if anyone was paying attention yesterday,said that they would go to war against the Trump EO. For their employees. Many of whom are H1B.

I am pretty sure that is backwards.

I am sure there have been exceptions before.

If this president can lose this battle, it's hard to understand how we will ever have a functioning executive again.

How can a state have standing on immigration issues? Will be interesting to see the judge's written order when it gets issued.

A federal judge has standing in presidential actions.

The DHS has revoked thousands of visas, so those people would still have no standing to come to the country under this judge's order.

The DHS has also clarified the order to say that permanent legal residents will be admitted.

So, this judge's order really affects nothing.

It affects the issuing of new visas.
It affects the processing of refugees.

Pretty sure it said it was a federal judge.

This rogue judge will be the next swamp creature looking for employment.

You clearly don't understand the law or the Constitution. He/she is doing their job.

Someone sure doesn't.

The only judges capable of striking down whatever the president does sit at the SCOTUS.

What has been struck down?

a reply to: Phage

Of course the judge has standing to rule an opinion but did the State, as the petitioner, have standing? They are petitioning on behalf of NON-CITIZENS. Should it have been the tech companies to petition, on behalf of their legal employees?

a reply to: Phage

The judge's order represents a major challenge to the Trump administration, which is expected to immediately appeal. The judge declined to stay the order, suggesting that travel restrictions could be lifted immediately.

NO authority.

Only the SCOTUS/CONGRESS.

a reply to: neo96

So, this judge had no authority either?

The judge has the authority to issue a restraining order.

a reply to: neo96

So 1/3 of our government has no say? That's simply incorrect.

a reply to: Phage

Which is a type of opinion to hold it over for review.

a reply to: Phage

NONE.

ZERO.

ZILCH.

NADA!

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and laws of the United States of America, including the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), 8 U.S.C. 1101 et seq., and section 301 of title 3, United States Code, and to protect the American people from terrorist attacks by foreign nationals admitted to the United States, it is hereby ordered as follows:

Right.
No further action can be taken on the order until it goes through the court system.

That's how it supposed to work. This was inevitable.
