Judge Rejects Request to Delay Travel Ban Lawsuit

Source: www.cnn.com

CNN - Federal District Court Judge James Robart in Seattle denied a request from the Trump administration to postpone any further proceedings in his court over President Donald Trump's travel ban, while the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals considers whether to rehear the case before a larger panel of judges.

"I'm not prepared to slow this down," Robart said, ruling from the bench.
What this means is that the challenge to the travel ban by the states -- Washington and Minnesota -- will proceed the merits in front of Robart.

As the government argued for postponement, the judge referenced Trump's tweet reacting to the 9th Circuit ruling saying he would "see you in court."
"I'm a little surprised since the President said he wanted 'to see you in court,'" Robart said, later adding, "Are you confident that's the argument you want to make?"

Twitler's habit of just tweeting everything that comes into his garbled brain continues to bite him in the ass. I'm kind of loving that.

4F 45 said they might rewrite it for early this week. Why would they bother proceeding if they had new EOs?

So much for the emergency/national security need for the EO to be implemented.

his boy can be confirmed by then. The LAST thing he wants is a 4-4 decision holding up the lower court's ruling (although, with Roberts potential swing vote, I'm not even 100% sure it wouldn't be 5-3 against the ban). Interesting times we live in... living for the small wins right now.

"Hey, look guys ... all we gotta do is stage a major terra-ist attack somewhere (California sound good?!?), tell everyone that the 'perps' are from one of the banned countries, and WALL-AH! I can shovel you guys BILLIONS!!! Remember after 9/11, how much POWER & MONEY you guys got? Hell, you could TORTURE people after that! So ... you guys can do it AGAIN, right?!? Talk to Steve after this meeting, he'll help you set it all up!"

... that at least a few of the Judicial Branch are fed up with Mr Trump's attacks. The USSC decision, if they even consented to hear the case, might be a lot more unfavorable to the Right than 4-4.
