I've already told you why I agree that the EO is unconstitutional. You demanding that I constantly repeat myself isn't going to magically alter the trajectory of this conversation.
Because the Judge says it is is a poor answer, unfortunately. And because Trump said something one time doesn't make it unconstitutional. If you cannot refer to the EO itself and recite exactly where it is illegal or unconstitutional, you have nothing.

You SAY I have nothing, but as it stands the EO is being held up for the very reasons I said. So in reality YOU are the one with nothing since you are currently arguing with the state of reality.
What you have is a liberal judge over reaching. It will be cleared up soon enough.

Guilliani's conversation about how to make this EO work legally is probably going to be the nail in the coffin for it. Plus Trump is killing his legal position when he talks about it at his rallies. Words DO matter and Trump is about to learn the hard way that you can't just say anything and always get away with it.

Well there isn't much legal ground currently for that to happen.
Animus
"Animus means a motive or intent to interfere with the exercise of a right; not hostility, ill-will or personal animosity."
Just fyi, intent can be proven with someone's words. Like proudly displaying this on your campaign website:" Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country's representatives can figure out what is going on." It's still there too. I just pulled it straight off of the website.

Granted, you have your appeals to authority (at least when it serves you) but that still isn't much considering you are unwilling to show how the EO is unconstitutional, instead referring to Trump's thought crimes.
I wonder if the Supreme Court dismisses these judge's claims, if you will still be of the same opinion?
No. I've told you why I think the EO is unconstitutional. Just because it isn't the answer you want it to be doesn't mean I haven't done it.
If SCOTUS overturns this ruling then I will change my tune.

An argument from authority (Latin: argumentum ad verecundiam), also called an appeal to authority, is a common type of argument which can be fallacious, such as when an authority is cited on a topic outside their area of expertise or when the authority cited is not a true expert.

You told me about Trump's words, and the fact that a couple judges halted the EO, not why the EO itself is unconstitutional. Neither of those second-hand opinions prove anything, and there is no amount of chewing gum that could string that logic together to mean an EO is unconstitutional.
I wonder if the Judges or the SCOTUS told you the earth was flat if you'd believe them.

This will go to the Supreme Court and Trump will win.
Is it my imagination or did you not say the same thing about Trumps first failed EO?
In this case a ruling by a Federal APPEALS Court is the precise opposite of that...They are precisely the authority to issue a decision.
Your repetition of "appeal to authority" as if it is fallacious in this scenario seems bizarre at best... Desperate dishonesty at worst..
This has not been to the Supreme Court as yet.
Just saying you should not get too invested just yet as you may end up looking foolish.
That's because I see no reason to disagree with it. You certainly haven't provided any valid legal arguments for why it isn't valid. You just keep repeating that it is constitutional and the judge is wrong over and over again like doing so will suddenly make that statement more valid and believable.

Then the 5 9th-circuit court judges who support the travel ban outweigh the opinions of the 2 other judges. Your game is tedious at best, obsequious at worst.
