The US 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled against the Trump Administration travel ban AGAIN. It has been relaxed. What next?

The Supreme Court is supposedly going to  decide the legality of the ban on October 10. So this is just another temporary stopgap to its possible implemention. Is there a limit to how many lawsuits can be brought for the same issue? Could it get up to 60 or 100 if need  be? How much does it cost to file each lawsuit?

    This pig from hell is hell-bent on hurting and pissing off as many people as possible.


    What the hell does RELAXED mean in legal terminology, Donald?  I've yet to study the world relaxed in terms of legal language.




    President Trump signed an executive order on Friday that purports to bar for at least 90 days almost all permanent immigration from seven majority-Muslim countries, including Syria and Iraq, and asserts the power to extend the ban indefinitely.

    But the order is illegal. More than 50 years ago, Congress outlawed such discrimination against immigrants based on national origin.

    That decision came after a long and shameful history in this country of barring immigrants based on where they came from. Starting in the late 19th century, laws excluded all Chinese, almost all Japanese, then all Asians in the so-called Asiatic Barred Zone. Finally, in 1924, Congress created a comprehensive “national-origins system,” skewing immigration quotas to benefit Western Europeans and to exclude most Eastern Europeans, almost all Asians, and Africans.

    Mr. Trump appears to want to reinstate a new type of Asiatic Barred Zone by executive order, but there is just one problem: The Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 banned all discrimination against immigrants on the basis of national origin, replacing the old prejudicial system and giving each country an equal shot at the quotas. In signing the new law, President Lyndon B. Johnson said that “the harsh injustice” of the national-origins quota system had been “abolished.”


    That was last January.  And he is still continuing.   Why is this man allowed to continue ANYTHING including being President?
