  1. Um, okay, but why is it newsworthy that they met the court-imposed deadline? And what was the content of the brief?

  2. Hair Furor Drumpfenführer gesagt:

    Radicalized Moose Lambs are a danger to our homeland, and they cannot be allowed into the homeland because Der Drumpenführer has said they must be banned and if moose-lambs make a terrier attack here it is so-called jason judge robard’s fault and the court system and if the ninth circuit doesnt overturn this outrageous french accent order Der Drumpenführer will fire the entire court and appoint new judges who understand who the boss really is.

    Okay, I’ve read the DoJ brief. IANAL, but I read English very well. The DoJ’s case seems to come down to this: (1) aliens without permanent resident status have no Constitutional rights, especially when they are outside the country. (2) States cannot sue the Federal Government on behalf of their citizens. (3) Besides all that, the order is not biased against Muslims, because some Muslim majority countries are not on the prohibited list. Even if it was biased against Muslims, it doesn’t matter because (1). Finally, there are the national security arguments, which make about as much sense as the rant above.

  3. It’s this pic that’s in the NYT article that says without using words that what trump is doing is evil.
