BREAKING NEWS (MASSIVE LOST, 3-0) : COURT RULES AGAINST THE TRAVEL BAN by TRUMP.....APPEALS COURT REACHES DECISION IN TRAVEL BAN CASE

Published February 9, 2017 Excerpt Huffintonpost
In a major setback for the Trump administration, a federal appeals court on Thursday declined its urgent request to restore the controversial executive order restricting refugees and travel by immigrants from a number of Muslim-majority countries.

In an early-morning tweet prior to a law enforcement conference Wednesday, Trump appeared to prejudge the 9th Circuit’s outcome and call into question the motivations of the judges who considered his travel ban.
“I don’t ever want to call a court biased, so I won’t call it biased,” Trump said during a gathering of chiefs of police. “And we haven’t had a decision yet. But courts seem to be so political, and it would be so great for a justice system if they would be able to ... do what’s right. And that has to do with the security of our country, which is so important.”
U.S. District Judge James Robart, the Seattle jurist who put a temporary nationwide restraining order on Trump’s travel ban last week, said in his earlier ruling that there’s a high likelihood the executive order would cause irreparable harm to the states of Washington and Minnesota if he didn’t block it.

Once Robart put the ban on hold, signaling that the states may have a strong case on the merits, the administration quickly appealed.
Scores of states, tech companies and organizations weighed in on the controversy ahead of Tuesday’s high-profile, YouTube-streamed 9th Circuit hearing, during which the two sides argued why the travel ban should or shouldn’t remain in force, and whether, under the Constitution, Trump has near-unreviewable authority that the courts aren’t allowed to second-guess.
Ahead of the 9th Circuit ruling, Robart issued a scheduling order on Tuesday, instructing the states and the Trump administration how the case would move forward. Washington and Minnesota must submit a legal brief on Thursday, the Trump administration’s response brief is due next Wednesday, and then the states must reply by next Friday. Robart has yet to schedule a new hearing.
