I'm expecting a Tweet saying "Federal Judge Blocked Me! Unfair!"

This is all very entertaining. I gotta hand it to Trump that he sure is keeping the Left on their toes. This was only Week 1.

The block really doesn't do that much to change the Executive Order.

No avail

Trump is doing what he said he would do, a temporary ban is hardly unprecedented. People caught in transit were in a gray area but I think it will straighten itself out. It is the sovereign right of all countries to decide who can and can't enter, the US needs a better system of vetting people which may be had to understand for Europeans to understand but whenever an attack happens like the one in Nice or Paris they understand the great damage Angela Merkel has done to the security of the continent. Everyone in Europe should hate Germany by now, how many times will they destroy Europe?

Vox Day picked up on this article:

There are two things not be readily apparent for Americans that are important to know about the action taken by this judge. The first, legal; the second, political.

First, note that the judge’s order blocks immigration authorities for sending people out of the United States “after they have landed at a U.S. airport with valid visas.”

This is an entirely unlawful act by the judge, completely at odds with basic, well-known United States law and, as such, the ruling can be nothing more than naked partisanship, an act aimed at negating a policy disagreed with committed while acting under the color of law.

U.S. visas, of any class, are different from those issued by other countries. They do not confer the right to enter the United States, but the right to present oneself at a Port of Entry (including airports) to ask for permission to enter the United States.

How Can I Use a Visa to Enter the United States?

Having a U.S. visa allows you to travel to a port of entry, airport or land border crossing, and request permission of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Customs and Border Protection (CBP) inspector to enter the United States. While having a visa does not guarantee entry to the United States, it does indicate a consular officer at a U.S. Embassy or Consulate abroad has determined you are eligible to seek entry for that specific purpose. DHS/CBP inspectors, guardians of the nation’s borders, are responsible for admission of travelers to the United States, for a specified status and period of time. DHS also has responsibility for immigration matters while you are present in the United States.

Thus, the entirety of the judge’s order is unlawful and proceeds from an assumption of legal facts about what a U.S. visa is that is wrong. This judge isn’t stupid. She knows this. She knows that the order she issued is unlawful.

Hmmm.
