"Activist Judge Ann Donnelly" In Trump's incoming tweet I'd imagine. But yes, someone needs to make a thug life meme ASAP. Hah, wouldn't be surprised if Trump just RT'd that. | ||

It seems hard to believe that a local judge can have this much influence over what the government can and cant do. Yeah, except while Trump does that the protests get bigger, the airlines and their passengers get more angry, and people start looking more closely at how the ban is stupid even if we take it's intentions at face value. He's more likely to try to distract from it with something even more ridiculous but less substantive. | ||

This fight will be in many courts and will take a long time to resolve. I think they just wanted the temporary stay so the people caught in the middle can at least get home? | ||

Same thing happened with Obama, his immigration executive order was stopped by a Texas judge. | ||

It seems a little insane to put something out that has ran into legal obstacles after less than a day? | ||
