9th Circuit Court of Appeals to hear challenge to Trump's ban Tuesday

The hour-long hearing, conducted by telephone among three West coast judges at 6 p.m. ET, will determine the immediate fate of the nationwide temporary restraining order against Trump's travel ban.

They supported a challenge to the mention of God in public institutions, or something like that. It prompted a right winger to put Ninth Jerkit court on his rear window. They were eventually overruled. Not the first time either.
