Hawaii has been reduced to ...

According to AG, Jeff Sessions, " I really am amazed that a judge sitting on an island in the Pacific can issue an order that stops the President of the United States from what appears to be clearly his statutory and Constitutional power."

I bet he would like to detach that island in the pacific from the mainland while he's in office.

what can he do? Give Hawaii its freedom to be its own boss?? lol

Too much tax dollars coming from Hawaii...plus Japan ready to take Hawaii back in a heart beat!

No sir...he can bark all he wants...the Judge's order stays unless/until overruled by the Supreme court.

I'm still wondering all now how we ended up in this sorry situation with these crazy people in the white house. It will take a long time to repair the damage they're doing.

Wonder what his state of mind was when another state that's not an island previously issued a similar order with similar effects on the same President?

Folks in America there are 3 coequal branches of the Government .

THE PRESIDENT & CABINET .


CONGRESS , WHICH CONSISTS OF

THE SENATE & THE HOUSE OF

REPRESENTATIVES .


THE SUPREME COURT .

The President proposes what he/she wants to do .

Congress passes or rejects what
the President proposes to do regarding various Laws ; or Changes .

The Supreme Court decides the
Interpretation of Past & Present Laws proposed & passed by Congress .

In essence , these 3 Branches are
endowed with equal Power , in my
opinion the Supreme Court because it is the final arbiter of decisions made by the President & Congress
has the final say . Therefore , in my
opinion the Supreme Court has the
most Clout , since its decisions has
a lot of Clout .

Congress can vote down whatever
a President wants to do . The idea
scenario for getting things passed
smoothly is to have the President
; the House of Representatives &
the Senate ; belonging to the same
Party .

Currently the Republican Party is
in control of the Presidency ; the
House of Representatives ; & the
Senate .

However , regarding say Immigration , if that ultimately gets
to the Supreme Court , the Court
will be the final Decider .
