Immigration Ban

I heard it said that a 4-4 tie would reinstate the order. Perhaps someone with a legal background can clarify that. I still think that the best course of action for Trump would be to withdraw this order and draft a new one that is more carefully crafted. Americans clearly do want restrictions on immigration. The problem here was the sloppiness of the order itself.

I may not be correct but I believe that when there is a 4-4 tie in the Supreme Court the lower Courts ruling (In this case the 9th Circuit Court) ruling stands.

Why don't most people see the courts for what they are? They are just a bunch of political hacks with robes.....both sides. They are way too powerful when they set immigration policy.

Why are not the political hacks in Congress doing it?

Good question. I would guess it's because we have had a stalemate for the last 6 years, and Obama would not sign any Republican Bill. That is, if Harry Reid would allow a vote on a Republican House Bill.
 
most people arguing against this ban are using conjecture and dialogue not written on the actual order to argue its something that it's not by definition of the EO.

I think people are making assumptions and the fact that those are being implemented into a judicial ruling is kind of frightening...
 
The Supreme Court will rule this EO unconstitutional. Only a matter of time.

I disagree. Unless I'm missing something the EO is constitutional under the statute that has been referenced all over. There is no mention of religion and to assume so is dishonest on the actual EO.

I've seen conflicting reports on this but if the EO only bans those outside of the US and with no citizenship or visa, then they have no rights under the constitution

Trump would have been in a much better position had he and his people not opened their big fat arrogant mouths leading up to this.

Hmmm... I guess Trump will have to wait for his "Easy D".

On a positive note about the ruling, your side won't be out burning down our cities tonight.

I don't think that should have an affect on the decision. If it did, it was unprofessional.

Your last paragraph is key. There is far too much ambiguity in the EO. It will be ruled unconstitutional. The administration will draft another I'm sure, but as it stands now it is dead in the water.

They should have that EO signed tomorrow with the new language that is satisfactory if they are truly concerned with the safety of the US citizens
