BREAKING : Justice Department Tells Federal Appeals Court to RESTORE TRUMP’S BAN
As Trump’s temporary travel halt quickly travels up the chain of judiciary command, it is becoming more and more clear the judge that stopped the order was acting out of line.
From FoxNews
The Justice Department Monday asked a federal appeals court to restore President Trump’s ban on travelers from seven majority-Muslim nations, the latest salvo in a legal fight headed for a possible showdown at the Supreme Court.
The filing with the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals came three days after a federal judge in Washington state halted Trump’s order and granted a nationwide stay. The Justice Department said U.S. District Judge James Robart’s order was “vastly overbroad” and said Trump’s executive order was “a lawful exercise of the President’s authority over the entry of aliens into the United States and the admission of refugees.”
The appeals court refused to immediately reinstate the ban, and lawyers for Washington and Minnesota — two states challenging it — argued anew on Monday that any resumption would “unleash chaos again,” separating families and stranding university students.
Oral arguments were set for Tuesday afternoon. Whatever the appeals court decides, either side could ask the Supreme Court to intervene.
It could prove difficult, though, to find the necessary five votes at the high court to undo a lower court order; the Supreme Court has been at less than full strength since Justice Antonin Scalia’s death a year ago. The last immigration case that reached the justices ended in a 4-4 tie.
The president’s executive order has faced legal uncertainty ever since Friday’s ruling by Robart, which challenged both Trump’s authority and his ability to fulfill a campaign promise.
The State Department quickly said people from the seven countries — Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen — could travel to the U.S. if they had valid visas. The Homeland Security Department said it was no longer directing airlines to prevent affected visa holders from boarding U.S.-bound planes.
Just cannot believe a judge would put our country in such peril. If something happens blame him and court system. People pouring in. Bad!

I have instructed Homeland Security to check people coming into our country VERY CAREFULLY. The courts are making the job very difficult!

Circuit courts do not set US immigration policy. U.S. District Judge James Robart clearly overstepped his authority and made a politically motivated ruling. Using procedure to slow down the legal actions of a President. Judge Robart should be relieved of his duties.
You are correct. No judge has the aurhority to legaslate Immigration laws or policies. The Presidents job is to vet anyone from any country regardless their religon. The green cards that are held by the muslams are fake ones. President Trump has the authority to deport all Muslams per law inacted by the Democracts in 1962 and isstill an active law.
Absolutely 125% in agreement with you. This judge has single handedly with the stroke of a pen put so many lives at risk! He needs to go now that’s he’s proved he does not uphold the law nor care for his countries SAFTEY!!!
Any american whose life is taken because of this judges actions hold the jude accountable also and put him on trial.
