Fourth Circuit Appeals Court Strikes Down Trump’s Travel Ban, Yet Again

20

Jihadis invoke Islamic texts and teachings as they maim, mutilate and murder, but the US government cannot ban adherents to this savage ideology because it’s a ….. religion. What a war.

We hold out for the Supreme Court. The idea that it would even be an issue as to whether or not the President can take steps designed to prevent jihad terrorists from entering the country is absurd, and shows how anti-American the left has become.

Here is the plaintiffs’ fourteen-page statement for the case. It’s an illuminating example of how the leftist/Islamic axis works. The power of this cabal is immense. This is the enemy, this is what we are facing. “The Plaintiffs allege that the Proclamation violates the Establishment Clause by disfavoring Muslims.” Jihad terror disfavors non-Muslims. But the Plaintiffs have no proposals on how to deal with that. For them, any number of Americans have to get killed just to ensure we are not “anti-Muslim.” Madness.

“Fourth Circuit Appeals Court Strikes Down Trump’s Travel Ban, Yet Again,” by Ken Klukowski, Breitbart, February 15, 2018:

Yet another federal appeals court has invalidated President Donald Trump’s immigration policy—this time the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, which is currently the most liberal federal appeals court in the nation—though it makes no difference, because the Supreme Court has already agreed to decide this matter once and for all.

The three most liberal federal appeals courts in the nation are the Fourth Circuit, Ninth Circuit, and D.C. Circuit, where Senate Democrats paved the way for President Barack Obama to have the greatest impact. Those courts have predictably voted against the Trump administration on a host of issues.

Immigration is a perfect example. Most of the headlines against President Trump’s immigration actions have come from either the Fourth Circuit or the Ninth Circuit. There have been three iterations of the president’s “extreme vetting”: Executive Order 13769, signed in January; Executive Order 13780, signed in March; and Presidential Proclamation 9645, issued in September.

The first two were temporary measures while formal vetting procedures were being established. The final one—Proclamation 9645—is the permanent policy, invoking the authority Congress conferred upon the president in 8 U.S.C. § 1182(f). It restricts or prohibits immigration into the United States from eight terror-prone nations.

The Fourth Circuit’s decision is an astounding 285 pages, spread among eight different opinions. The actual majority opinion of the court was authored by Chief Judge Roger Gregory.

In sum, the Richmond-based appeals court concludes that Proclamation 9645 violates the Establishment Clause of the Constitution’s First Amendment, because it actually establishes a national religion that excludes Muslims. That is the court’s decision, despite the fact that most Islamic-majority nations on earth are not affected by the policy….

The liberal courts have a hair-trigger sensitivity to Trump’s so-called “anti-Muslim tweets.” And Hamas-CAIR, predictably, is thrilled with the new ruling. They have opposed every counter-terror measure that has ever been proposed or implemented.

“US Islamic Group With Ties To Hamas Rejoices Over Court Challenge To Travel Ban,” by Joshua Gill, Daily Caller, February 15, 2018:

A U.S. Islamic advocacy group suspected of conspiring with Hamas celebrated a federal court’s Thursday ruling against President Donald Trump’s latest travel sanctions.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), which the FBI labeled as an “unindicted co-conspirator” with the terrorist group Hamas in 2009, released a statement Thursday celebrating the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruling against the latest edition of Trump’s travel sanctions, which CAIR called “Trump’s ‘Muslim ban 3.0.’” CAIR continued its claim that the travel restrictions are part of a white supremacist agenda that specifically targets Muslims, despite the fact that the restriction is not actually a permanent ban and does not include include the two countries that hold one-quarter of the world’s Muslim population.

“The Fourth Circuit’s decision is the latest blow to the Trump administration’s ugly white supremacist agenda,” said CAIR senior litigation attorney Gadeir Abbas.

The 4th Circuit’s ruling against the travel restrictions as unconstitutional will not go into effect, as the Supreme Court has already agreed to decide the issue in the spring and has allowed the Trump administration to enact the travel restrictions, despite the legal challenges levied against it.

The current iteration of Trump’s travel restrictions apply to Chad, Iran, Libya, North Korea, Somalia, Syria, Venezuela, and Yemen, which the administration labels high-risk countries due to hostile regimes, internal conflicts or terroristic activities. The circuit court’s majority, however, echoed CAIR’s allegations in its ruling against the travel restrictions, saying that the administration’s justification for the policy was different than its true intent in light of past statements from Trump that the justices interpreted to show an anti-Muslim bias.

“We are pleased that another court has recognized the enduring harm that American Muslims are suffering due to discriminatory and unconstitutional policies put forward by the Trump administration,” said CAIR National Executive Director Nihad Awad….

The courts are not directly elected by the people, they should not have power to override congress without a very good reason, being owned black muslims is not sufficient.

Correct! The three branches of government are all CO-EQUAL, so the judicial branch cannot do ANYTHING unconstitutional, and the other branches can override these courts. We MUST realize how the judicial branch of government has completely taken over all aspects of government, commerce, society and life itself due to their BAR (British Accreditation Registry) attorney traitors and BAR club. They have established their private club (which both the attorneys and the judges are members of… talk about conflict of interest and recusals…) to control all aspects of American (and world) life. NO Attorney should be in government office, and we NEED to turn this insurrection and coup around… http://thematrixhasyou.org/13th-amendment/13th-amendment-1.html

This is madness. What in hell “religion” has anything to do with this ban? Or rather, should “religion” be used as justification for terror, murder in the name of “religion”? For me, the only interesting question would be to know how much that “judge” Roger Gregory (which is his last name and which is his first?) received recently from “zakat” Islamic resources to come to his outrageously idiotic ruling? As they say, in everything: follow the money!

why are these constitutional subvertors not impeached after their illegal rulings are overturned by SC ?

Hungary has been leading the fightback against the pro-jihadi mafia of Europe. They even expelled left/Liberal pro-jihadi ambassador http://bit.ly/2gh6A72

MOST Negroes don’t like white people even though we FREED them and now FEED them. The solution is simple. Tell the Negro we will pay his way to go back to his homey country of Africka.

See how much Negroes take up that offer? So there you go. The hypocrisy of the Negro.

Pisslam is NOT a religion, it’s totalitarianism, a form of gov’t. “Religion” is thrown into the mix as subversion. The US Constitution allows for freedom of relgion, but would never allow for the F- up laws of sharia. This is how pisslamists get their say in court.
As far as the POS judge, who the F- paid him off or threatened him to go against the US Constitution? Judge Judy has more balls than this little prick.
F- the judge.
F- pisslam.

These unelected judges who override the travel ban are merely the symptom — a tip of the iceberg — of a far, deeper problem. First of all, prayer and Bible reading were banned from what were known then as “public schools”, and now government-run “indoctrination centers”, educating students that wrong is right, and right is wrong. Prayer, and the mention of G-d and the name of Jesus, are now banned in many places. The students indoctrinated back then have now become our leaders. When the blind lead the blind, they both fall into the ditch.

As I mentioned in another web site, people now whine, moan and groan why G-d (not that puny allah) allowed Columbine, 9/11, and now the atrocity in Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland FL. People whine that terrorism and other crimes have multiplied since the early 1960s.

Duh! We, by our own choice, pushed G-d out of the schools, the courts and the public places. Therefore G-d’s hand of protection has been withdrawn from America. Until there is nationwide repentance, America will never again become great.

If these muslim refugees end up coming into this country they should be divided up equally and placed in the locals where these judges live, D.C., western Washington State, Hawaii, etc. There needs to be consequences.

We have the 1st Amendment ALL WRONG!!! It does NOT condone other religions beyond Christianity, so this cannot be used as the scapegoat for these terrorist organizations masquerading as religions. It is clear that our founding generation NEVER included pagan, false religion as a protected right in this republic. READ IT AND WEEP MUSLIMS… http://thegodkind.org/1st-Amendment-No-God-given-Right-to-Worship-False-Gods-web.pdf

Well, it seems the Judiciary has taken over the other two branches of government .. they’re making laws by allowing one judge’s “decision” to set precedence contrary to written law; and now they’re executing these phony decisions. No need for a Congress or President, now that we have an ACTIVIST bunch of black-robed demons in place.
