The wackadoodle Washington state judge who apparently felt ignored as a youth when he couldn't get a date for his high school prom, ruled on a subject he was not rationally eligible to adjudicate. Regardless, the obtuse judicial order was immediately appealed to the 9th Circuit Court, the West Coast version of the psycho panel or, to most in the legal profession, the "nutty ninth."
As expected, the Democrat-controlled three stooges in black robes supported their constitutionally challenged compatriot farther north. However, everyone who stayed awake during civics class (now probably eliminated from all curricula) should have learned the McCarran-Walter Act, or the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952, gave the president the right to issue the ban as was executed by Donald Trump.
I believe that's 8 U.S. Code, Ch. 12 for all those liberal elitists up on the benches or secluded in the Avenues. I didn't vote for Trump, wasn't in agreement with the rashness and felt it may have been a badly presented ban. But to all the liberal-funded protesters and whining losers in the last election, the Constitution is still the law of the land and its stipulation of presidential right is still intact. Get over it! You lost. Complain, protest in reason but quit attempting to subvert and misinterpret the document that gives you the right to act in a continually asinine fashion for the benefit of all those television cameras.
