James Robart, the U.S. district judge in Washington State, offered little explanation for his decision to stop President Trump's executive order temporarily suspending non-American entry from seven terror-plagued countries. Robart simply declared his belief that Washington State, which in its lawsuit against Trump argued that the order is both illegal and unconstitutional, would likely win the case when it is tried.
Now the government has answered Robart, and unlike the judge, Justice Department lawyers have produced a point-by-point demolition of Washington State's claims. Indeed, for all except the most partisan, it is likely impossible to read the Washington State lawsuit, plus Robart's brief comments and writing on the matter, plus the Justice Department's response, and not come away with the conclusion that the Trump order is on sound legal and constitutional ground.

ReplyDeleteThe judge knew he'd be reversed when he sketched out his untenable opinion. He'll now be a caricature of what not to do. Career over, unless a Dem goes to WH again; then he'll be lionized. Hope his bow tie shrivels!
As I had commented in another article, this judge based his decision on what he thought and not law! One now has to question any case he has heard, was his final judgement based on law or on his own beliefs and thoughts! Our justice system can not be run by such individuals and due to the fact he has admitted as such on how he based his decision needs to be removed as a sitting judge!
