ON BOARD AIR FORCE ONE (Reuters) - The White House is confident that it will prevail in a legal back-and-forth over President Donald Trump's executive order to prevent travellers from seven countries entering the United States, spokesman Sean Spicer said on Monday.

 

"Clearly the law is on the president's side," Spicer told reporters on Air Force One. "He has broad discretion to do what's in the nation's best interest to protect our people, and we feel very confident that we will prevail in this matter."

The Trump administration will prevail, if judges pay attention to the law as written. However, activist judges like to make up their own rules based on partisan inclinations.

That's why we've got a suspension of this poorly thought out EO.  It's violating the law, according to many prominent judges.  Calling them activists is ridiculous. You can do better than this.

Amicus brief from 16 state attorneys general

The top legal officials in 16 states, including Pennsylvania and Iowa which voted for Trump, filed a memorandum in support of efforts to halt the travel ban. The state attorneys general from these states argue they have standing as the executive order inflicts harm on states, including disruption at state universities and medical institutions.
The states include New York, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Iowa, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, New Mexico, Oregon, Rhode Island, and Vermont, the Commonwealths of Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and Virginia, as well as the District of Columbia.

I am glad that President Trump is shaking things up.  So 16 states versus, the rest of the state's

people who needed to be woken up.

Geezer

Sorry you feel that way.  He's causing more problems than solving.  Interesting read here:

At the start of Trump's third week in office, top advisers are trying to move beyond the infighting and feuds inside the West Wing, which have alarmed Republicans and official Washington far more than the President himself.

....

"I just don't see how the leopard changes his spots," said one GOP operative, who declined to be named because this person didn't want to appear to be rooting against the President. "He got to the job by drinking rocket fuel, and now people are wondering if he can sit down and delegate and be a responsible executive."

......

Trump may be largely immune to this kind of volatility, but everyone surrounding him is not. A number of former campaign staffers are seeking job opportunities within government agencies -- even as positions within the White House remain unfilled -- to distance themselves from the "West Wing circus," according to a person familiar with the situation.

Trump fumes on Twitter as polls show majority of Americans oppose his travel ban

 

His tweet about this:

Any negative polls are fake news, just like the CNN, ABC, NBC polls in the election. Sorry, people want border security and extreme vetting.

 

What a loser.  He's lost the plot if he ever had it.

Not going to keep posting something that anyone commenting on this thread should already know. The law is easy to Google and it is very clear.

You've ignored several posts here showing the president can not do anything he wants.  The law doesn't allow that.  Obviously, considering the court cases going on now.

UG, not acknowledging that your hero can be wrong sometimes undermines you...

Nope.

 

Reality has set in:

 

" The Trump administration is not currently planning to appeal the decision blocking its travel ban to the Supreme Court, a source familiar with the matter tells CNN. "

 

http://edition.cnn.com/2017/02/10/politics/immigration-executive-order-white-house/index.html?adkey=bn

 

This means it goes back to the district court for full proceedings on the merits of the case, and the TRO blocking the ban remains in place.

 

However, given the sleaziness of this administration, I am sure they will try to pull a cheap end run around the courts and the rule of law, which will also be doomed to failure.  Nixon tried that tactic, and look where it got him.

What is becoming interesting all through this Trump fiasco is that everything seems to be the 'White House" (read the Trumpster) says this and that but all we hear from the major Republican players Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell is "decline to comment". Geez it would be awesome to listen in on some of their private conversations right now. Its as if nobody can hear the train shouting to Sparky "right front wheel, right front wheel" as this train wreck careers out of control.

 

Geez in some ways it is awesome that the Trumpster won as we would not have had this level of sheer stupidity and pure entertainment if Hillary had. So I suppose one should look at the whole mess with humour cause at least that Murican great Walt Disney will be smiling down as in his wildest dreams he would never have invisaged Donald and Mickey running the good ole US of A.

From Trump's own man, from that article:

White House chief of staff Reince Priebus is asserting more authority to run things, administration officials say, in hopes of trying to "keep things running smoothly" after a rocky -- and active -- first two weeks.

 

Priebus is admitting things aren't running well.  From Trump's staff.
