Steve King introduces resolution rebuking courts’ actions against President Trump’s executive order 

Steve King

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Steve King released the following statement after introducing a resolution condemning the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit for rejecting and ruling against President Trump’s executive order on immigration.

“It is clear that Judge James L. Robart of the Western District of Washington brazenly ignored the Constitution, Federal law and court precedent in issuing a temporary restraining order against President Trump’s executive order, ‘Protecting the Nation from Foreign Terrorist Entry into the United States,’” said King. “Ultimately the United States Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit failed to reverse Judge Robart’s erroneous order and in the meantime, thousands of refugees who have not been properly vetted from seven terror-prone countries can continue entering our country.

The Immigration and Nationality Act at 8 U.S. Code 1182 gives the president the ultimate power to block foreigners from entering the country if they are considered ‘detrimental to the interests of the United States.’ Today, we face the ongoing and increasing threat of radical Islamic jihad. As terrorism propagates around the world, President Trump understands attacks in other countries are not isolated incidents, and he acted fully within his constitutional means to protect the American people. I stand with President Trump and have introduced this resolution of disapproval to rebuke the court’s actions.”

Last week, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals denied President Donald Trump’s emergency appeal to reinstate his immigration and travel restrictions placed on people from certain Middle Eastern countries.  The issue could end up in the U.S. Supreme Court.  A tie there (there are only 8 justices at this time) means the lower court ruling would stand.

Right ON !

Another Nazicrat blog! I wonder when the fascist leftist liberals will wind down their pity party? They are loosing support from within their own party.

See what you get when you vote for a party, instead of who’s best for the job?

I voted for who is best for the job, and that was Trump. And Steve King is right, the President has unlimited authority in the constitution to do the executive order that he did. Liberal political hack judges can’t overturn the constitution.

Me Too!

Fred and Barney.

And Larry, Moe and Curley

Trump doesn’t have the constitutional power to discriminate by religion. And he is on record many times stating this is a “muslim ban”
