It has happened like that before. Why not now?A little respect for foreigners? I know immigration is a complex issue and I actually agree with much stricter border security, as well as holding employers accountable and developing a system that will effectively track visas so expired ones aren't here for years. But Trump's decisions seem to be more knee jerk reactions that don't make a whole lot of sense. Just throw the bums out/lock them out. Simple shrimple, but it 's not really that simple.Maybe we need better judges.Maybe he needs better WH lawyers?
See post #94
And what should his attitude be?Or better yet a change of attitude?
Yes.First off, I don't give a shit one way or another about Trump's plan. Put aside the politics and look at this judge's decision from a purely legal/procedural perspective.If you were an SC justice, I would pay careful attention to your argument. But you're not. So your opinion that the justice's opinion is "bullshit" is just that--an opinion--because you would prefer that Trump's plan was followed without question.
Didn't the SC say some of Obama's decisions were unconstitutional? Why would Trump's be any different? I think the only thing the court is objecting to is that Trump's EO is stopping people from applying for DACA during this period. At least that's what I heard in passing.
Do you know the standard for a TRO in federal court? (hint: it was stated by the judge)
Let's start there.
Also, do you think I have to be a constitutional law professor to be able to criticize a judge's misconduct on a procedural matter?
