We should enjoy this kind of judicial win while we can still get them.

Trump had already forgotten about the immigrant caravanā€¦this will remind him, and simmer in his own juice.

A three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals kept in place a preliminary injunction blocking Trumpā€™s decision to phase out the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.

Just wait. Heā€™s going to call this ā€œalmost total victory.ā€

Great, now Trumpā€™s hand is forced. Heā€™ll have to send 15,000 troops to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

Deputy Assistant Attorney General Hashim Mooppan argued that the
courts could not review the administrationā€™s decision to end DACA and
defended the move against assertions that it was arbitrary and
capricious.

ā€œItā€™s a question of an agency saying, ā€˜Weā€™re not going
to have a policy that might well be illegal,'ā€ Mooppan told the judges.
ā€œThat is a perfectly rational thing to do.ā€

The courts canā€™t interfere with the administration, because the administration is busy doing the job of the courts. So there.

The opinion is very solid, and legally correct. Trump just did not jump through the hoops he needed to to change the law.

When the democrats - hopefully - get back complete control of congress and the presidency on January 21, 2021, their first act should be to create a new ā€œ13th circuit Court of Appealsā€ and an overlapping District Court (lawyers will note I went for 13ā€¦). This will cover the Island of Aunuā€™u. Congress has the ability to direct the assignment of judges, including notably supreme Court judges. See Stuart v. Laird, 5 US 299, 308 (1803).

Given this is a new circuit, with a massive built up work load, this circuit and district court will need to be staffed, and the revised judicial act can assign all of the Russian/Saudi judges; i.e. everyone with a confirmation date between January 21, 2016 and January 20, 2021, to this district. And since it is an emergency that justice be brought to long suffering Aunuā€™u, these judges will be forbidden to be assigned to any other circuit or district court to sit by designation.

These judges will also be required to immediately take up their office on Aunuā€™u, transferring any existing cases to other judges in their district or their circuits.
