Matt Drudge has decided to keep the Republicans in check, which I believe is rather premature.  Drudge is complaining that the Republicans need to move on with the campaign promise of “repeal and replace” ObamaCare and “tax reform”.  We are merely 3 weeks into a new administration and perhaps need to be reminded that Rome was not built in 3 or 4 weeks time.  In addition, way too much time has been spent on the confirmation of much needed cabinet positions, in order to provide proper protocol for a smooth running administration.  The Demoncrats are purposely holding these confirmations up, to disrupt and in a subtle way condemn President Trump’s agenda, not to mention the great disappointment that Hitlary was denied her throne.

President Trump has been moving along at nearly break-neck speed; working tirelessly, for which his highest priorities are the safety and security of the American People and the Economy; specifically jobs.  Jobs will provide security to American workers and increase revenue for the government for what we need to secure the nation.

I was both disappointed, but not surprised at the decision of the Ninth Circuit Court, to continue the suspension of President Trump’s temporary immigration ban.  Yes, there is no doubt that the “roll out” could have been made not to inconvenience lawful travel of individuals who should have been exempt from the ban.  President Trump is more acclimated to a business environment and needs some temperament to be more familiar with “political protocol”.  Before issuing his executive order for the ban, he should have all those who are delegated to implementing the ban, with him when signing the order.  He should have had the Secretary of Homeland Security, the Secretary of State and the entire Senate Committee on Foreign Relations present at the signing.  

Now this case will be presented to the Supreme Court, but I full well expect the Supreme Court to reject a hearing, based upon the lack of the merits of the case, in addition to the unquestionable power of the Office of the Presidency to institute the ban.  This means they will remand the case back to the lower courts.  The Justice Department will have to provide the defense and will focus on the merits of the case.  The Ninth Circuit Court will have to provide the specific injuries that occurred because of the ban, for which there are none that can be clearly evidenced.  

The Federal Judge and the Ninth Circuit Court are just as involved in “political posturing” as the Demoncrats are in the cabinet hearings.  The Statute that has given immigration ban power to the Presidency is the paramount issue.  According to Article I, Section 8, clause 15 of the Constitution; it is the distinct duly of the legislature to provide whatever remedy is needed to regulate immigration, for which the legislature back in 1952, put forth the Statute giving complete and unswerving power to the Office of the Presidency to institute an immigration ban.  It is very important to note that even the legislature is not involved in the same security briefings as the President and probably the very reason why the legislature gave that power to the Office of the Presidency in the first place.
