Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire 9th Circuit Decision May Not Stand For Long

The higher courts, or any court for that matter are no place for politics. At least thats how is should be. Seems the 9th ciruit is letting their judgement be clouded by their schitty liberal antics.

The 9th Circuit put themselves is a very precarious position with this decision.

Imagine if there is an immigrant terrorist attack at any time in the future.

It will quickly become known as the “9th Circuit attack” and this court will be saddled with all of the blame.

The first opinion was just a three judge panel. The re-hearing is for the full group.
The full group tends to echo the 3-judge decisions,

The full group tends to echo the 3-judge decisions, so it's just another step that has to be taken.

BTW, the 9th Circuit has an 85% turnover rate by the Supreme Court. Talk about idiots that won't learn!

The 9th Circuit seems headed toward re-hearing the entire issue en banc. The Court has just requested briefs from both sides. As far as I know, that's a bit unusual and only done when the original 3 judge panel has done something very questionable.

Currently, thanks to the ridiculous political judicial opinion of the 9th Circuit, the entire professional left and Democrat party are on display trying to block President Trump from protecting the American people. As a direct consequence they own any negative outcomes, including any act of terrorism, that might happen in the next several months.

Why would President Trump remove that political liability? If he’s smart, and he’s proven he is way beyond smart, he won’t.

Behind the scenes, and unrelated to the judicial ruling, President Trump can use his cabinet team to construct immigration and visa review policy that accomplishes the security goal. The Attorney General (Sessions), DHS (Kelly) and State Department (T-Rex) can execute departmental policy objectives under existing legal authority.

President Trump never really needed the majority parts of the executive order to carry out the security agenda. However, using the XO provided a highly public approach toward showing the American electorate he was fulfilling a campaign security promise. Tightening the visa approval process and executing “extreme vetting” doesn’t require anything except a policy and procedural change.

If President Trump does nothing, the underlying challenges to the Executive Order continue forward in the courts, while he gets his SCOTUS pick -Gorsuch- on the bench. If he so chooses, the DOJ can eventually bring the case to the Supreme Court, where almost everyone admits the Ninth Circuit and Judge Robarts decision will be overturned and all of the protestation from the left will have been for naught.

In the interim of the slow case proceeding, ANY instance of violence and terrorism provides President Trump the opportunity to use his bully pulpit -and Twitter- to hang the occurrence, foreign or domestic, like a millstone around the neck of Democrats up for elected office in 2018.

There is no downside on the domestic security agenda for President Trump; however, the Democrats are fraught with fear that something might just happen. Ultimately, THIS, the politics behind the entire construct, is the reason for the ninth circuit tonight asking for an en banc hearing of their own judicial ruling.
