It's a long read but it says that whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the US would be detrimental to the interests of the US, he may issue an EO for as long as he likes to suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions that he may deem appropriate.
That's my summary since I can't get the Draft function to work.
Now pay attention. You will notice that the President has that exclusive power. He doesn't have to kiss the Congress Critters' behinds to do it. And guess what? Judges can't stop him from doing it. So if he had wanted to he could have barred those people from entry and deported them on the next flight.
The Judge should be disbarred for her criminal behavior.
Trump is in charge and he can kick ass and take names if he wants to. Of course Congress can impeach him but all hell would break loose if they did.
1) Judges can indeed stop him from doing it, legally. He may still do it in defiance of a court order; but then that would rather underline his criminality to obviously. And Congress can repeal that law.
2) Since he cannot demonstrate that all the people in the barred populations fall into the criteria laid out by that law, you'd best get ready for the expenditure of tax funds fighting entirely avoidable lawsuits as people whose rights have been violated seek redress.
Clearly, the violation of rights doesn't bother you. Hope you enjoy when it's your ass getting the Kafka Treatment®.
