U.S. District Court Judge James Robart, who Friday temporarily
curtailed President Donald Trump’s refugee executive order, has
something of an activist history on the bench.
When Robart ruled in favor of Washington state’s attorney generals
Friday, he claimed that Trump’s order temporarily banning U.S. entry to
citizens from seven terrorism-compromised nations was not “rationally
based” and has “harmed” the states and “inflicted” damage upon them.
Writing that “the court concludes that the circumstances brought before
it today are such that it must intervene to fulfill its constitutional
role in our tripartite government,” Robart issued a decision hailed by
the mainstream media and liberal activists.
“Forty-one percent of the casualties, 20 percent people of the population. Black lives matter.”
“Judge Robart’s decision, effective immediately, effective now, puts a
halt to President Trump’s unconstitutional and unlawful executive
order. It puts a stop to it immediately, nationwide,” Washington State
Attorney General Bob Ferguson told reporters, according to Politico.
“What the judge announced today was nationwide; the president’s
executive order does not apply.”
