WHERE WAS THE OUTRAGE FERGUSON WHEN YOUR PAL OBAMA DID THE SAME THING? OR WHERE WAS YOUR OUTRAGE WHEN JANET RENO SENT TROOPS TO KICK OUT A KID FROM CUBA BACK WHEN CLINTON WAS PRESIDENT?
AG FERGUSON OBTAINS COURT ORDER HALTING TRUMP IMMIGRATION ACTION
SEATTLE — A federal judge in Seattle today granted Attorney General Bob Ferguson’s request to immediately halt implementation of President Donald Trump’s Executive Order on immigration nationwide.
The Temporary Restraining Order will remain in place until U.S. District Court Senior Judge James L. Robart considers the Attorney General’s lawsuit challenging key provisions of the President’s order as illegal and unconstitutional. If Ferguson prevails, the Executive Order would be permanently invalidated nationwide.
To obtain the Temporary Restraining Order, the state needed to prove that its underlying lawsuit was likely to succeed, that irreparable harm was likely to occur without the restraining order, and that halting the President’s order immediately is in the public interest. The state also needed to establish that the potential injury to Washington residents caused by leaving the President’s order in place outweighs any potential damage from halting it.
Judge Robart, who was nominated to the court by President George W. Bush in 2003, ruled that Ferguson had met the high standards necessary to block the Executive Order until the court reaches the merits of the lawsuit.
“The Constitution prevailed today,” Ferguson said. “No one is above the law — not even the President.”

Response by the White House which was released on Face Book:
Statement by the Press Secretary:
At the earliest possible time, the Department of Justice intends to file an emergency stay of this order and defend the executive order of the President, which we believe is lawful and appropriate. The president’s order is intended to protect the homeland and he has the constitutional authority and responsibility to protect the American people.
As the law states, "Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate."
Editorial Comment: Where was Ferguson's objections when Obama done similar actions?
I have a hunch this is all about liberals not liking the idea of a president who is protection our nation from becoming a muslim nation, that is the real issue here as I see it. Even some Muslim nations are applauding this action of this president protecting our sovereignty from those who wish to destroy it.
