So, if they had ruled that the immigration ban was legal, then that would not be their personal political views, right?
Why is it only 'personal political views' when multiple courts come to the same conclusion about the constitutionality of a presidential edict? Isn't that exactly what the courts are there for?
Also, why aren't you rejoicing at the reigning in of executive authority? Isn't that the hallmark of conservatism, not giving one person too much power? Isn't that the biggest problem with Obama, that he expanded executive power so much?
Do you even know why the immigration ban was deemed unconstitutional? Or do you just know that it was judicial overreach to overturn the edict of a president?
Of course it's political
