As you know, I keep hoping that our new President will stop doing stupid, questionable and irrational things. Well if he doesn't, and if the House is to spineless to stop him, thank heavens the courts are still there.
I mean Trump signs an executive order to block well vetted people from coming to the USA and implies that there is an immediate and terrible threat from them... Even though there is no history, no evidence, no nothing to back up this urgent, poorly implemented, fear filled order.

Hopefully most American's are braver and more rational than Trump believes them to be.

Apparently the incompetent attorney sent by the Obama DOJ to defend this EO forgot to mention the 60-odd arrests of "properly vetted" people on terror-related offenses.
Source please... Or...
Maybe he did not mention it because it is more of the Trump alternative facts?
Sources? Look in the mainstream media.... oh, wait.... That might not work.

Yep, pretty much nothing to see here...
Nothing, except that the judge was wrong on both the law and the facts. It will soon be moot. Look for, in the 2nd 100 days, an effort to break up the 9th Circus court, and maybe even to reign in the federal courts, back towards their original Constitutional role.
