This is another judge who has no respect for the law.Or did he simply say, "That causes too many problems here at home, so I'm invalidating it"?
Can judges overrule Presidents now without grounds, simply because they feel like it?
P.S. The ruling was 43 pages. Yet it was released less than two hours after the hearing. That guy must have been a hellacious typist.
Or... had he already made his decision, before the hearing even began?

The judge in Hawaii who put President Donald Trump's revised travel ban on hold was nominated to the federal bench by President Barack Obama.
U.S. District Judge Derrick Kahala Watson got his nod in 2012 and is currently the only Native Hawaiian judge serving on the federal bench and the fourth in U.S. history.
He received his law degree from Harvard Law School in 1991.
His 43-page decision Wednesday was released less than two hours after the hearing ended.
