3-0: Hillary Clinton tweaks Trump over unanimous appeals court ruling against travel banLink to tweet
Earlier Thursday evening, the San Francisco-based appeals court declined to block a lower courts ruling from last Friday that suspended key parts of a Trump executive order restricting immigration. The Trump order, signed Jan. 27, barred all refugees from the U.S. for 120 days and blocked all travel from seven majority-Muslim countries for 90 days.
The executive order led to chaos at many airports as border officials scrambled to enforce the ruling, with the administration initially saying it would apply to green-card visa holders before reversing itself. Protests erupted at airports where travelers were in transit when the order was signed were initially detained.

Ban Torched Again... 3-0 Unanimous Ruling... Supreme Court Showdown Almost Certain... TRUMP ALL-CAPS FURY: SEE YOU IN COURT...
In a major setback for the Trump administration, a federal appeals court on Thursday declined its urgent request to restore the controversial executive order restricting refugees and travel by immigrants from a number of Muslim-majority countries.
Rejecting arguments that the government would be irreparably harmed if the judicial system reviewed President Donald Trumps immigration ban, which he premised on his authority over national security matters, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit determined unanimously that the judiciary has a proper role in safeguarding peoples rights.
To the contrary, while counseling deference to the national security determinations of the political branches, the court said, the Supreme Court has made clear that the Governments authority and expertise in [such] matters do not automatically trump the Courts own obligation to secure the protection that the Constitution grants to individuals, even in times of war.
Citing an important Bush-era Supreme Court precedent on national security, the 9th Circuit took issue with the Trump administrations argument that it had no business or power to review the legality of the presidents executive order ― or that it would violate the separation of powers for the court to do so.

This language makes me think that the federal judiciary feels like it is being treated as an UNco-equal branch, and if he thinks this ruling is a smackdown he's dumb to put this in front of the SCOTUS...Roberts won't play with this legally-illiterate crew of morAns, not even a little bit. Their leash is about to get jerked on, and deservingly very hard.

He hates to lose! And for a woman to taunt him like that. I hope he doesn't take it out on Melania.
