So what you're implying is that you want a president with dictatorial powers. What ever happened to the gushing over the founding fathers' genius about the Constitution and the three branches of government? Checks and balances not so convenient anymore?

You should take some deep breaths. You sound like you are hyperventilating.
no, I just wasn't stoned yet, I wake up very angry. That's why it is good I am not God because I would kill all of them the first hour. You should have been educated in America before the Department of Education. They taught us how important these little things are to our freedom. Those liberal judges are giving it all away and it's not theirs to give. And they are taking it from me. Very simple, if you don't like it vote in a president who will repeal it. That's what we did. And I don't have any problem taking this to court, I just have a problem with the judges stupid ass reasoning.
Current law explicitly states that the president has the sole authority to restrict and/or prohibit immigration. Period. There really isn't anything to interpret. Now one may think, and you could include me in that, this law gives the president too much power. In that case there are methods to remove or change that law. Congress can debate it and vote. Congress has the authority to write new law, not the court. This is very straight-forward and easy to understand. What you're implying is that system should be by-passed if some judge thinks the president is rude and has a big mouth. Now if congress passing a law stating that a president has the authority to restrict immigration, unless that president says mean things which hurts someone's feelings, then that judge would then have the power to override the ruling. What you're also implying is that all of us should just be able to pick and chose which laws we'll obey, and which ones we won't. The word for that is anarchy. Can't imagine what goes wrong under those circumstances. Bottom line, congress writes the laws, not some obscure judge or group of judges.
Have you considered rubberized bed sheets?
Checks and balances apply to all three branches of government, not just to the Executive. The Founders would have been pretty stupid to create a Constitution that let one co-equal branch run roughshod over the other two. Yet that is what we effectively have now. Rule by judicial edict.
Progressives' ideas are so unpopular the only way they can get them forced on people is through the judiciary. As a result they have adopted this mentality that all court orders, no matter how absurd, have this magnificent legality and must be obeyed without question.
The Constitution does not expressly give the Supreme Court the authority to overrule acts of congress. That was accomplished through an early judicial power grab. The lower federal courts are not even required to exist. Congress could abolish them and there is nothing the judiciary could do about it.
I sleep in my clothes. I trade at home and got tired of walking around all day in my pajamas.
Congress already wrote a law,in 1964,that states visas can not be denied due to race,place of birth, or nationality.
