Hawaii Judge Orders Loosening of Trump Travel Ban
2017-07-14
Yes... that judge
[WSJ]. A Hawaii judge late Thursday ordered a nationwide loosening of President Donald Trump's temporary ban on U.S. entry for some travelers from six Muslim-majority countries, ruling the administration's strict approach contradicted a recent Supreme Court ruling.
No, asshole. You don't get to rule by fiat from Hawaii and over rule the highest court in the land and apply your idiocy to the entire nation. Trump should just tell him to piss off and ignore it.
The decision is a fresh legal blow for the president just two weeks after a Supreme Court ruling allowed the administration to implement its travel ban against refugees and foreign nationals from six countries who have no connection to the U.S.
Legal my ass
The justices said Mr. Trump’s administration couldn’t enforce the ban against people with bona fide relationships to people or organizations in the U.S. Days after, the Trump administration adopted a narrow view of what relationships counted for an exemption from the ban.

The White House didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. A spokeswoman for the Justice Department, which is defending the ban, had no immediate comment on the court order.

Administration officials said visa applicants and refugees with U.S.-based spouses, children, parents and siblings would be allowed in. But those with only lesser ties--such as grandparents, grandchildren, aunts, uncles and cousins--would be subject to the ban.
Considering how they like to marry within the family that pretty much includes the whole nation
U.S. District Judge Derrick Watson in Hawaii took issue with that interpretation. He issued an order late Thursday, which applies nationwide, that says people with broader family ties are also exempt from the ban.

"The Government's definition of close familial relationship is not only not compelled by the Supreme Court's June 26 decision, but contradicts it," the judge wrote.
You are violating years of judicial tradition and federal laws, fucktard. The law is worth nothing if you aren't willing to follow it. And when the law breaks down, society breaks down. Don't be surprised if after things start falling apart some goblins show up on your doorstep to kill you and your family.
