| 'The 9th Circuit Just Issued a Dangerous Ruling against POTUS Immigration Order |
| 2017-02-10 |
| [National Review] After the Ninth Circuit’s dangerous precedent, the Trump administration needs to slow down and consider its next move. It’s often said that bad facts make bad law. In the case of the Ninth Circuit’s just-issued ruling continuing the nationwide injunction against Donald Trump’s executive order pausing immigration from seven jihadist or jihad-torn countries, it’s necessary to amend that saying. Bad facts combined with superheated politics can make terrible law. Before addressing the court’s ruling, let’s refer back to some of the bad facts that made it more likely. Critically, the Trump administration issued a significant executive order (and then defended it in court) without laying any real factual foundation for its finding. Next, the administration enforced the order in a haphazard and unnecessarily cruel manner, initially including even green-card holders in its scope. By slamming the door (at least temporarily) in their faces, it created a crisis atmosphere that not only ramped up the political stakes, it told the court that the administration didn’t exactly know how to interpret its own order. This invites judicial meddling. What does the opinion actually say? It made four critical rulings and one dangerous implication. |

| #5 National Review, right? Spit. I'm fast running out of news intermediaries. More and more, it's original sources or forget it. |

| #2 The Congressman Flake Bill to split the 9th into two distracts by creating a new District encompassing all but CA and Oregon. By the appointment of all new judges and shuffling them, this viper pit of activists can be broken. Secondly, fast track Gorsuch. Third, consider legislation according obstruction of justice charges and/or liability to those elected officials who prevent the enforcement of immigrations laws in any manner. Every municipality, county and state that received federal funding of any manner has had to certify full compliance with all federal laws as a condition of its receipt. It is time to unleash the full power of the federal government on these seditious bastards. |

| #1 They question is, should the Judges be held for in-voluntary manslaughter or pre-meditated murder regarding their destruction of national security directives from the oval office? |
