BALTIMORE, Maryland, Tuesday, February 7, 2017 - As I begin to compose this post, the ninth circuit of the United States Court of Appeals is deliberating on nationwide Injunction signed by Ultra Leftist U.S. District Court Judge James L. Robart, a Seattle native who, although a nominal appointee of former President George W. Bush, is actually an Ultra Leftist of long standing. The injunction keeps the federal government from enforcing an Executive Order signed by the President which briefly prevents persons from seven terror-torn Middle Eastern and African nations from immigrating to These United States. The Executive Order was intended to provide federal authorities with enough time to devise a plan for vetting such immigrants so that terrorists and would-be terrorists amongst them could be weeded out.
Judge Robarts, sitting in Seattle, ruled that his lower level court order applied nationwide. Immigrants from the seven affected, and now unaffected nations - Syria, Iraq, Iran, Yemen, Libya, Somalia and Sudan - are said to be sprinting full-speed ahead towards These United States, lest they be caught on the outside looking in when and if the injunction is lifted. Reports say that a not insignificant number of Democrats are nervous lest they be blamed if an immigrant carries out a terrorist attack while the Court Order blocking the ban is in full effect.
In oral arguments today, two of the three judges were said to have taken a skeptical view of Trump's Order. But experts in the internecine area of the law thought it was likely that the panel would send the case back to Judge Robarts with instructions on how they thought his injunction order should be modified. In other words, it is possible that both sides would lose.
In other developments, the Senate approved as the Secretary of Education. The full senate vote ended in a 50-50 tie, which was the expected result. When the senate vote ends in a tie, the Vice President casts the tie breaking Vote. Vice President Pence voted for the President's Selection, meaning she was approved for the post. The Democrats and two turncoat Republicans carried on all through Monday night. They said the droneathon was an 11th hour effort to convince one more GOP Senator to change his or her mind. But it wasn't happening.
A vote on another Trump cabinet selection, Attorney General Jeff Sessions, was predicted to finally occur on Wednesday night.
Meanwhile, there was word on Monday that scientists who support the idea of man-caused global warming further cheated on data over and above what was already proven.
