This is Werth
Huh? Only Congress gets to decide the terms of executive orders? I like Steely Dan, but this pretzel logic is beyond me.
Only Congress has the power to judge the actions of president when they are within his authority(impeachment, holding cabinet members in contempt of congress etc)
Even the idiots on the 9th circuit admitted that the Judicial branch is not one of the "political branches".
Well, when you block an EO that is 100% CONSTITUTIONAL, it's political.
And that is why Trump won't appeal the 9th Circuit's decision to the Supreme Court? Because the decision was political?
Honestly, I think the administration will simply redraft the EO with some real lawyers and will reissue. I think that will render the current controversy moot and the Supreme Court won't touch it. The less signs you see of the administration asking for cert, the more likely a reissue is. IMHO.
This is what happens when you add another Judicial branch, called FOX NEWS and put Rudi Giuliani n charge of it-- LOL
The Comrades blunder was not consulting the acting attorney General, Sally Watts in this matter. Instead he called one of the members of his pompom squad and had him write it. They fucked it up good.
But now that the courts know what his intent was (to ban Muslims), which is unconstitutional under the Establisment Clause, I doubt they're going to adhere to, or much less, respect another one that they'll concoct.
