The 9th Circuit is a most notorious collection of liberals, activists, mediocrities and buffoons. They ignored the fact that the division of powers clearly puts immigration as an executive prerogative; they accorded standing (and deemed 'harm') to non citizens; they exceeded their competence; and their judicial scope.
The Ruling is a disaster for the Checks and Balances implicit with the American Constitution. It reveals the mediocre, grasping arrogance of the modern judiciary (which we've seen in spades in Canada) unchecked by responsibility to the broader restraints, and the respective privileges of legislative and executive branches.
It unapologetically subscribes NOT to the moral concrete American Nation State.. but to a borderless amoral abstraction (whose primary priniciple is that of promoting radical individualism).. in a world populated by global citizens, all of whom are accorded equal protection in law.
It denies a special responsibility to the American citizen and electorate, the constructive American community and the instruments given to the President to protect them as he sees fit. Whatever checks exist to the latter, reside with the elected legislative, not the appointed judicial branches, as was envisioned by the framers.
This is gross distortion of its original intent of the Constitution and amounts to a defacto judicial coup. It will produce disorder and illegitimacy of government. If allowed to prevail it will neuter the Presidency's effectiveness in favour of some amorphous assumption of 'rights', accorded piecemeal, absent responsibility to the American society as a whole.
