The problem that the anti-American so-called President keeps running into seems to be that he and his staff love to hear themselves talk.
Trump calld it a Muslim ban from day one when he first announced that he wanted to put a ban on Muslims entering the country. It was a ban for all that time until Team Trump determined that they needed to stop calling it a ban. Then Giuliani goes on Fox News and says Trump tasked him with making the "Muslim ban' constitutional.
Telling the world that it's a Muslim ban that was dressed up in an attempt to make it legal wasn't a particularly clever move.
Now we've got Stephen Miller, once again on Fox News and this time, he's remarking about how the new ban is basically the old ban only further dressed up in an attempt to get around what had led to the restraining orders for the first ban.
Everyone knows exactly what is up here. This was always a Muslim ban. Now it's seems like maybe it's just about "winning" for the administration. How many days has it been since the purportedly 90-day travel ban supposed to go into place? Forty? How many months do you spend fighting for an emergency 90-day travel ban?
How the hell does that even make sense? Nearly half of the would be ban period has passed. Are they not "finding out what's going on" or whatever vague, stupid, nonsensical reason Trump cited for the ban in the first place?
The plaintiffs’ request for 100,000 refugees each year was made by lawyers for the International Refugee Assistance Protect, HIAS Inc., a so-called “VOLAG” which is paid by federal agencies to import refugees, and by members of the Middle East Studies Association.
“Judge Chuang’s ruling … leaves the door open for further discussion of our challenges to the refugee ban, an opening we intend to pursue,” said a March 15 statement from HIAS. “So stay tuned for more news as our lawsuit continues.” HIAS received at least $19.5 million in government grants in 2014, according to its federal 990 form.

With Federal Judges across the nation making up FAKE/WEAK reasons for defying President Trump's temporary travel bans, what else have WE THE PEOPLE given them to power to do?
Can an anti-American judge also suddenly stop Trump Wall from starting? Or halt it, during the process of being built, citing "Most Mexicans are Catholics" and labeling the wall a Catholic discrimination tool?
How about if the 300mph High-Speed Train crosses Indian Land? Forget the fact that Indians would financially benefit. A mentally unbalanced, lone-wolf anti-Trump Judge, could rule the rail line project as discriminatory to Indians, because they have spirit elders hovering in the vicinity.
Have we given Federal Judges so much power that they can literally do whatever they want? If so...how can we legally reduce their authority???

You equate a liberal court with being anti-American. More people voted against Trump than for him. So, that other percentage that supports a centrist SC...are they anti-American, too?
Absolutely meaningless.
If the Constitution required the president be elected by popular vote the campaigns would be run accordingly and Bill Clinton's unaccomplished, inept, corrupt, drunk of a wife would have lost even worse than she did.
People would also vote accordingly. In many states people don't vote because they know that vote won't count because of the Electoral System. If every vote counted, you would see a massive power-shift to the right in this country. Leftists -- "liberals", are only 25% of the electorate.
In 2016, when you factor out California, Trump won the popular vote by 1.3 million. Think about that...
...and it is there for a reason. Your Founding Fathers realised that 'party like it's 1776' would be limiting over the long term - and they were betting on the long term.

Yea! Screw checks and balances now that your guy is in power! Let him do whatever he wants!
Judicial activism sucks, yea. But it sucks whichever side of the aisle it's on, it doesn't just suck because now it's happening to Trump.

How do we dial back their authority? Is a Constitutional Amendment needed? I bet we'd get at least 10 million signatures on a petition.
I would argue impeachment, but then again, I do not know enough about to offer an adequete solution.

So if you ignore a bunch of votes for people other than Trump, then Trump wins?
Boy, why didn't Trump's team think of that? "Hey guys, if you ignore all those votes for other people, then I totally got more votes than anybody else did."

Hang on a second, wasn't Fascism an extreme left political movement opposed to Communism from the 30's and 40's?
What does that have to do with Trump??
