Frustration is bubbling up, as President Trump unleashed on the recent court rulings against his travel ban, and most recently an order to withhold federal funding from so-called ‘sanctuary’ cities.
In early February, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals became the first example of a shot being fired from activist judges, upholding a temporary suspension of Trump’s Executive Order restricting travel from countries with high levels of terrorist activity.
Then this week, a federal judge who was a major Obama donor blocked the President’s executive order cutting off federal funds for sanctuary cities.
Trump isn’t staying silent – he fired back at the liberal judges, warning “See you in the Supreme Court!”
First the Ninth Circuit rules against the ban & now it hits again on sanctuary cities-both ridiculous rulings. See you in the Supreme Court!

Trump later added further explanation.
Out of our very big country, with many choices, does everyone notice that both the “ban” case and now the “sanctuary” case is brought in …

…the Ninth Circuit, which has a terrible record of being overturned (close to 80%). They used to call this “judge shopping!” Messy system.

It’s much worse than that, however. It is clearly compromised judges with a political bias legislating from the bench, rather than interpreting the law.
In the case of the San Francisco judge, Judge William Orrick III, you have a bundler for Democrat presidential candidates, a donor to pro-Democrat organizations, and a man who vowed to recuse himself from immigration cases, battling to stop President Trump’s effort to stop illegal immigration.
That is unacceptable!
The President needs to follow through by battling this all the way to the Supreme Court. His choice of Neil Gorsuch should make rulings in these cases very interesting. Interesting, and hopefully, finally, just again.
