#1 Vox clamantis in deserto.

#2 I personally see it as a bureaucrat rebellion - the functionaries at INS know perfectly well that these judges overstepped their authority, and their restraining orders have no legal power.

#3 For the sake of the security of the American people, on 22 Oct in 1962, President John F. Kennedy announces to the American people that he has ordered a blockade of Cuba in response to the discovery that Soviet missiles were being installed on the island.

The President of the United States can order a blockade of an entire county but cannot delay the visas of foreigners wishing to come to the U.S. ?

Sorry, the logic escapes me.

#4 If anyone chooses to look at crime in Southern border states they will see the US as a target of raiding parties of illegal aliens.

Here is how it works. Two, three or more Mexicans will come into the US seeking work. Once they know everything about the business they go back to Mexico to drop off the local radar. They then return to break in and ransack the business.

#5 This judge knows that nothing bad will happen to him. The 9th Circus is dragging this out as long as possible before they overturn. This is the Left. This is who they are and what they do.

#6 What is the number of judges in Federal Supreme Court?
There are currently 874 authorized Article III judgeships: nine on the Supreme Court, 179 on the courts of appeals, nine on the Court of International Trade and 677 for the district courts.
United States federal judge - Wikipedia


Do we have 874 Judges, or thereabouts, that feel that they have veto power over Executive Branch actions whenever they feel like it? Checks and Balances my rosy red posterior.

#7 It sits for life and has achieved non-accountability - in other days, that's call an aristocracy. Otherwise you need to impeach a few every couple of year 'pour encourager les autres'.

#8 The correct thing to do was to ignore that idiot Judges action.

I live in the midwestern US and they're already more brazen than that here. They work by day as landscapers and roofers, and conduct surveilance the entire time they do so. They then return in the middle of the night to steal whatever they can take. A co-worker found all 4 (chrome) rims from his Hummer stolen one night--"paving stones" like those used by landscapers were used to put the Hummer up on blocks.
