Federal Judge Rules Against Blocking Travel Ban EO

[patriothammer]

A federal judge in Virginia ruled Friday against blocking President Trump’s executive order that called for temporarily stopping the entry of immigrants from six majority-Muslim nations and refugee admittance overall.

The decision against the injunction comes after federal judges in Maryland and Hawaii blocked the implementation of Trump’s executive order nationwide. The ruling in Maryland is set to be heard before an appeals court in May. These two past decisions keep the order at bay.
Judge Anthony Trenga of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia found that Trump was within his legal rights to impose the travel ban and that it was not discriminatory toward Muslims. The injunction had been brought forward by Palestinian activist Linda Sarsour, who was represented by an attorney from the Council on American-Islamic Relations.

Trenga, a George W. Bush appointee, wrote in his opinion that “the President has unqualified authority to bar physical entry to the United States at the border.” He said that the executive order makes no mention of religion and has a “state secular purpose” of protecting U.S. citizens from terrorist attacks.
The Hawaiian federal judge who knocked down the executive order cited past statements from Trump on the campaign trail talking about a “Muslim ban.” Judge Trenga, however, wrote, “In that regard, the Supreme Court has held that ‘past actions [do not] forever taint any effort on [the government’s] part to deal with the subject matter.'”

A Department of Justice spokeswoman said in a statement, “The Department of Justice is pleased with the ruling. As the Court correctly explains, the President’s Executive Order falls well within his authority to safeguard the nation’s security.”

I'd buy that it was about security if it actually banned any countries terrorists have been coming from.

West coast best coast. Your Muslim ban is still blocked.

While I think the restriction is typically pointless bureaucratic bullshit, it's obviously not unconstitutional.

Misleading titles are misleading. As per what YOU posted and I bolded, nothing's back. It simply didn't get blocked a third time.

Rofllllll. You thought you were right.

[patriothammer]

Reading must be really hard for you.

Try harder to derail the thread. The travel ban will continue and you will just have to deal with it. Sorry.

The constitution is what the judiciary says it is.

You should read it again. The ban is in effect until an appeals court hears the Maryland decision in May.

So your "HAHA BAN RULES" shitposting is just... blowing up in your face

But if you want that, okay boo.

Because politics is a hot button issue, and people take it way to seriously, or in the case of the Trump Presidency, not seriously enough?

[Elegiac]

Even after that the decision in Hawaii still blocks it even if the Maryland court overturns the decision in Maryland.

In essence, it's going to take a SCOTUS ruling in order to unblock the bans at present. Which may not happen, they may just knock it back to the 9th circuit.

Him being President does not give him unilateral ability to enact policy by fiat, nor does it excuse blatantly -bad- policy such as these muslim bans.

[HumbleDuck]

Trump trolling the real world and his supporters trolling the internet.
What a time to be alive.

Actually he does have that ability under executive order, stop spreading false information.

Yes, and given these policies are both bad and potentially unconstitutional the system of checks and balances enables the judiciary to go "Hold the fuck up." and correct his mistakes.
