Legal or not, it was an incredibly stupid executive order that ended up with us just wasting our time and money with no ends to justify the means. I'm guessing this is gonna be a theme with D. Annoying Orange.

and like i said, the idea of "political bias" in the judiciary is murky. if a decision is made with a clearly outlined legal basis, then the line where something becomes politically motivated is entirely arbitrary. if the court cites public opinion, statistics, etc. in its majority opinion as substance, then that is politics and policy making. if they cite legal precedent (or a lack thereof), acts of congress, the constitution, treaties, etc. then that is a judicial interpretation of law. it is the job of the courts to decide which interpretation is valid, not the executive, and not the legislature.

I wonder how much cash Saudi paid the judges. Look like they're finally getting an ROI on their 'donation' to Clinton
Nonnel:
they must've paid tons to Annoying Orange considering he didn't ban them even though they're the largest exporter of islamic terrorists to the US

lmao keep the tears coming. One of the judges was a conservative appointed by Bush, and even he had the brains to vote against this stupid and useless travel ban.
