Would be interesting to see stats on that, I'm not aware of any, but it's true there's no dissent to fall back onhttps://twitter.com/andrewsheeler/status/829834299960619009 …

Humanitarian Law Project is a case about lists of terrorist designations and "material support" — https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/09pdf/08-1498.pdf …
-
HLP sought to give legal training to PKK and Tamil Tigers, and this was deemed material support for terrorism. Government won this case

Rules of citation means the cases get cited backwards through time. creates a striking picture here: a line from 9/11 to Japanese detentionpic.twitter.com/wZmqwxRP8V

This is the standard that has to be applied to the govt's request. 9th Circuit concludes the government failed at step 1 and 2pic.twitter.com/4jzzeQ2XEH

#1 is key here. The 9th Circuit is looking at this case and going, "Yeahhhhh, you guys are going to lose."*
-
* legally speaking, "you guys can't prove that you're likely to win"

All aliens in the US have due process rights. And "certain aliens" (they don't specify) attempting to re-enter have due process rights toopic.twitter.com/AKGi41fag4

Court throw shade on White House counsel, says there's no evidence that counsel is empowered to supersede the EO with clarifying instructionpic.twitter.com/0pg63dxg8J

9th Cir: TRO might be overbroad but why did you write such a bullshit EO then, stop hitting yourselfpic.twitter.com/CHtwiaqj1l

I thought that the situation with Giuliani and the EO reminded me of Lukumi Babalu Aye, let me explainpic.twitter.com/EPPJCjXW4I
-
Lukumi is a case about a Florida municipality that banned the killing of animals not for consumption https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_of_the_Lukumi_Babalu_Aye_v._City_of_Hialeah …
-
The ordinance was targeted at santeria. A santeria church sued.
-
Lot of perfectly good reasons to ban the killing of animals not for consumption. So Hialeah, Florida might have gotten away with it. But.
-
The idiot city council basically filled up the official record with open denunciations of santeria and satanic practices
-
"Hialeah's police chaplain testified that the Church worshiped 'demons'"
-
Basically, they pulled a Giuliani. Got slapped down unanimously by SCOTUS because it was just too stupid
-
Moving onto #2 of the standard for a request for a stay, 9th Cir says govt can't show irreparable harm. Incredible opportunity for shade.
-
And they go for it. Says government can't show any aliens from the named countries have perpetrated terrorist attacks in the US

-
Acknowledges that the 7 countries were named by Congress as countries of concern but says that doesn't justify "urgent need" to stay the TROpic.twitter.com/TBAZHohn4e

National security on the one hand. On the other hand, free flow of travel, separation of families, freedom from discrimination.

Throwing in freedom from discrimination last is a really beautiful touch

In conclusion, Trump lost today in court, is he tweeting yetpic.twitter.com/T29P9m64mv

This is why I don't think this case is going to stop anytime soon. WA is in it for the long haul and our president is a beet red baby
-
In a sane world, the president would look into the horizon, take the L, rescind the EO, and try to move on (maybe a new EO).
-
There would still be lawsuits but you could mess around a lot just by strategically retreating
-
But in a sane world, the EO would have never been drafted haha

ha ha ha ha haha

Commentators really need to start having some perspective. This isn't three-dimensional chess, he's an idiot and the WH is in disarray.
