White House press secretary Sean Spicer said Monday that a federal judge went "rogue" by blocking President Donald Trump's executive order on immigration.

"I think you have one judge," Spicer told Fox News' Brian Kilmeade. "The law is very clear that the President has broad powers to keep this country safe and limit access to people that could come in to this country and do us harm."

He argued that Trump's order was a "very legal, constitutional" use of his power to ensure national security.

"And it's somewhat sad to see a judge go rogue like this," Spicer said. "It's a shame that we're not focused more on making sure that we are applauding the decision by the President to make a renewed focus on keeping this country safe."

1. aren't we up to 4 or 5 judges now?

are they all rogue separately, or are they all rogue together?

is it possible for more than one person to be rogue together or is that an oxymoron?

6. A murder of crows, a rogue of judges. It's all good.

8. More than one Rogues is called a "Squadron"

Look it up

[unblock]

9. also, did he know the word "rogue" before the latest star wars movie came out?

or "huh, i always thought it was 'rouge'".

10. One suggest is that it was a translation error

Star Wars: Ep IV = "Red" Squadron

translated for French version = "Rouge" Squadron

Came back to English for Empire Strikes Back = "Rogue" Squadron

Oops. by Return of the Jedi, it was Red Squadron again.

I have no idea how accurate that theory is ...

2. It's not one judge it's 4-5 who found the EO unenforceable, likely unconstitutional

[0rganism]

3. judicial branch gettin all mavericky on you there, Spicer?

what a pity

[Moostache]

4. I keep thinking I am going to wake up and read this is all a big practical joke...

Someone please make that real....PLEASE!!!

5. Yeah, well, that "rogue" judge's order was upheld

temporarily by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, who evidently did not think the order was legal or constitutional. Are they "rogue" too? Or is it just that any judge who disagrees with Trump is "rogue"? Trump is clearly trying to delegitimize the judiciary branch. A normal person who lost a court case would say they disagreed with the court and would appeal, acknowledging the underlying legitimacy of the process. Not Trump. If they don't agree with him, they're illegitimate and don't need to be obeyed.

The 9th Circuit is now addressing the merits of the case, having refused to lift the stay. That court is probably the most liberal of the Circuit Courts. I don't think they will rule in Trump's favor, so they'll be "rogue" too. http://www.cnn.com/2017/02/06/politics/9th-circuit-court-of-appeals-trump-travel-ban/

12. If the president's job is to protect us from people who would do the country harm

shouldn't he quit?

[cstanleytech]

13. How dare a judge go rogue by supporting the Constitution rather than his political party!!!!

[TeamPooka]

14. "Rogue" judges now to make his stupid followers want to eliminate the judiciary. Fools.

[TranssexualKaren]

15. The problem with a former Bussinessman as president.

He doesn't get the fact that the role of president is to serve the country rather than the country serve him.

[TexasBushwhacker]

16. THIS!

[Blue_Roses]

17. Yes!

So true!

[onetexan]

18. Un-freaking-believable

this administration keeps making up more lies to cover up lies. Every day it's nauseating to have to hear or read about the idiot and the GOP's ongoing deception of the American public.

[Turbineguy]

19. Apparently...

They called him Sean Sphincter in college. He does not like being called Sean Sphincter. So please don't call him Sean Sphincter.

But if you do call him Sean Sphincter, be sure you spell it correctly, otherwise people might think you work for trump.
