The Travel Ban: Why Trump Will Win This One

American Thinker ^ | 02/10/2017 | Ronald Tinnell 

Liberals are making a big deal out of the temporary travel ban controversy. Why? Somehow I doubt that they really care about the "rights" of several hundred or thousand foreigners to enter the U.S. The real reason is that it is the only place where they are winning against the President.
The President has the Constitution and the Law on his side, while the liberals have a judge in Washington, a bunch of liberal judges on the Ninth Circuit, and four steadfast liberals on the Supreme Court. Liberals are thinking: "Great! We'll win on this one."
Not so fast. In a fairly adjudicated case, it's an open and shut case for the President. A decision to uphold the Ninth Circuit, places a big question mark on the competence of any judge that rules in favor of it. He or she would be going against the Constitution and the Law and endangering national security all at the same time.
Decisions like this are common as dirt in the Ninth Circuit, but the Supremes are usually a little more careful. Ninth Circuit decisions are overturned in the Supreme Court so often that lawyers say that if you lose in the Ninth Circuit, you are guaranteed a win in the Supreme Court.
Due to the stupidity of the Liberals, the President is now in a no lose situation. If he gets the injunction lifted at the Supreme Court, he wins. If he does not, he has this case to use as an example of the Judiciary's bias. He can say: "Look, they ignored the Constitution and the Law, invented rights for foreigners, and put the whole American public at risk." Even if he loses in court, he will win in the court of public opinion.
