It was blatantly unconstitutional. It's illegal to pressure or in this case black mail states to comply to enforce immigration laws. It's the federal government job to do that. Another thing I like to point is that this the reason why the federal government and state government boundaries should always be clear. I remember during Obama administration that some people supported the idea of striping state government some power. But we will quickly reminded why it was a terrible idea. I think that both sides should respect these boundaries. It can backfire years later.

Do can we get the drinking age back to 18?

They pulled the same bullshit there.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Seeing excerpts of the ruling online, it's like the judge basically laughed the President and DOJ out of the courtroom.

Well, except that was an act of Congress, not an executive order.

 

[Crocodile]

Seriously. In my wildest dreams, I never predicted that lawyers would be saving America.

Lawyers and corporations. It's pressure from the later that helped oust people like Bill O'Reilly. Strange times we live in.

Anyway, get fucked Trump

AP's article up.

A federal judge on Tuesday blocked a Trump administration order to withhold funding from communities that limit cooperation with U.S. immigration authorities, saying the president has no authority to attach new conditions to federal spending.

U.S. District Judge William Orrick issued the temporary ruling in a lawsuit against the executive order targeting so-called sanctuary cities. The decision will stay in place while the lawsuit works its way through court.

....

Republican President Donald Trump was using a "bully pulpit" to "encourage communities and states to comply with the law," Readler said.

In his ruling, Orrick sided with San Francisco and Santa Clara, saying the order "by its plain language, attempts to reach all federal grants, not merely the three mentioned at the hearing."

"The rest of the order is broader still, addressing all federal funding," Orrick said. "And if there was doubt about the scope of the order, the president and attorney general have erased it with their public comments."

He said: "Federal funding that bears no meaningful relationship to immigration enforcement cannot be threatened merely because a jurisdiction chooses an immigration enforcement strategy of which the president disapproves."

....

A federal appeals court blocked the travel ban. The administration then revised it, but the new version also is stalled in court.

Get fucked Trump. This would have had an impact on my city and is such a disgusting form of "black mail." Can't wait for his meltdown and crying. Such a thin skinned loser.

Why won't these Judges let this poor man run the country so we can win? Life ain't fair!

"And if there was doubt about the scope of the order, the president and attorney general have erased it with their public comments."

This will be true for literally every thing he tries to do... his dumb mouth can't help but spout idiotic shit that will be used against him in a court of law.

 

[FireAndBlood]

He must hate the 9th circuit.

 

[RPGCrazied]

This rally this weekend is going be something to watch. I'm hoping its not with teleprompters, gets extra crazy then.

 

[BoogieWoogie]

He must hate the 9th circuit.

"See you in court again court! Now excuse me, time for grampy's golf time."

 

[Shadow Puppetry]

Ooh boy, salty tweet about California when

I'm seeing it from the locals news Facebook pages here in California, Trump supporters are so salty lol

 

[VendettaRed07]

He must hate the 9th circuit.

He shouldn't. He has always had the option to move it up to the Supreme Court on any of his EO.

But there's no point because literally none of them would make it through there either. Like 9-0 each time.

 

[Got]

I can't take this much winning.

 

[RPGCrazied]

I'm seeing it from the locals news Facebook pages here in California, Trump supporters are so salty lol

I'm seeing it all over twitter about the liberal judges are ruining this country. lol lol

 

[Kaban]

Good. The only reason he wants to withhold funds from sanctuary cities is simply because he wants to punish areas that didn't vote for him.

 

[mattwhite924]

I get so much enjoyment from all the L gifs in Trump threads.

 

[AlexBasch]

Yikes.

He really thought he could do whatever the fuck he wanted as a President.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

Lmao, best one yet

Nahh, 21 year olds are dumb as fuck as it is. And I'd rather not bars be filled with 18 year olds just living on their own for the first time and wildin' out. Actually I most definitely am glad I don't have to deal with that

 

[Shadow Puppetry]

"THIS IS WHY CALIFORNIA SUCKS!"

Yesss fuck you trump

Suck it, Sessions.

Any chance you could post a couple juicy ones? If it's not too much trouble.

I'm making dinner right now and could use some salt.

 

[devilhawk]

Precedent seems pretty clear in that Congress could pass a bill that does what Trump's order does as long as it pertains specifically to immigration funding and isn't greater than 20% the budget.

The 21 year old drinking age withholding funding was allowed while ACA's withholding Medicare funding was not because of these reasons.

Alternatively this could 5-4'd in the Supreme Court.

 

[ArkhamFantasy]

I needed a unbiased and fact based assessment of this news so i went to check out r/donald, strangely there's nothing about this on the front page. Weird.

 

[Goose_Se7en]

Strap in folks. We still have 4 more years of Trump. He isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

 

[uncelestial]

Surprise, Trump: You can't just sign tweets and make them law.

 

[Shadybiz]

Lol, stay winning, you buffoon.

 

[timetokill]

Keeps putting up those Ls, I love it

 

[Madness]

You guys thinking this is a win with a 5-4 Supreme Court in Trump's favor now... almost every single ruling and even appellate ruling will go the Supreme Court where he will get 5-4 victories in his favor. Hell if anything happens to any of the other liberal old judges, you could have a conservative Supreme Court majority for 30-40 years.

 

[LifEndz]

So many L's in just the first 100 days. Sad!

I wish people stopped just assuming "conservative" judges 100% always agree with the legislative output of "conservative" administrations.

From my local FB news site comments, Trump supporters did not study American government in high school or grade school. So much "ONLY THE SUPREME COURT CAN OVERRIDE THE PRESIDENT".

Did that happen when Scalia was still alive? The court is made up the same as then you know.

This guy needs to run for President.
