3-0!

NUFF SAID!
Let me ask you a question billyboy.......which circuit court is the leader in being overturned? Oh, that's right, it's the 9th Circus Court! Nuff said.
Care to place a wager on it being overturned?
Or is this yet another example of you talking shut even you dont believe?
$50? $100$
We can even make it a bet for charity. I choose St Jude Childrens Research Hospital. Pick whichever you want.
You mean the largest circuit, the circuit that handles 20 percent of the U.S. has the most cases overturned? Shocking.

The 9th Circuit also has the second lowest percentage of cases affirmed on appeal at only 20%. Only the Federal Circuit in DC is worse.

A lefty lawyer's thoughts:

Alan Dershowitz, Harvard Law:
"I do not believe that this order constitutes a violation of the establishment clause of the Constitution," the Harvard Law School professor emeritus told "Newsmax Prime" host J.D. Hayworth. "The fact that they picked seven Muslim states, those are the states that have high levels of terrorism."

That's just not fair ! ! !

Mr. Dershowitz is using facts in his argument in favor of limiting immigration from specific countries.
Since when do people in other countries outside the US have "Due Process" in the USA? What other countries in the world offer "due process" to people outside their countries? Since when do the courts dictate foreign policy? Since the snowflakes had a tantrum that Trump was elected!

I respect Dershowitz' opinion. He's a bright guy.

To be fair, Dershowitz said a lot more about the Trump ban than what you linked. Dershowitz called the Trump travel ban "a failure of presidential leadership, tragically. Trump did this unilaterally, without thinking hard about what courts would say."

Dershowitz also said that Trump needs to swallow his pride and go back to the drawing board. He needs to come up with something new.
To bad the 9th circuit didn't look at prior SC decisions & Congressional law

. “The exclusion of aliens is a fundamental act of sovereignty,” the Supreme Court held in the 1950 Knauff case, “inherent in the executive power to control the foreign affairs of the nation.” The courts are not meant to second guess the executive’s conduct of foreign affairs, or intrude on its plenary power in this area. “It is not within the province of any court,” the court noted in that decision, “unless expressly authorized by law, to review the determination of the political branch of the Government to exclude a given alien.”

It’s hard to get around the relevant federal immigration law, which says, “Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate.”

Finally, aliens residing outside the United States have no right to come here. The Supreme Court held in the 1982 Landon case, “an alien seeking initial admission to the United States requests a privilege and has no constitutional rights regarding his application, for the power to admit or exclude aliens is a sovereign prerogative.”
