Doug Chin shows what an a-hole he is.  He filed an appeal to the 9th Circus of Appeals this morning after he didn't get what he wanted from Watson.

He did it for the "newborn children". Sure he did.

I truly hope the Trump Administration has a team of qualified experts working 24/7 determining exactly which, and to what degree, federal funds can be denied to Hawaii. I want to see Ige and Chin blubbering/outraged at the microphone. "Even without Federal funding we will fund The Rail no matter how many billions more we have to extort from Hawaii taxpayers and their grandchildren!"

It never friggin' ends. This judge (Watson) is determined to defeat the law all on his own authority. He's gonna tell the federal government what their law is allowed to mean. Because he says so. I sure would like to see Watson get a major slapdown... but we all know that won't happen as all the resources of the state of Hawaii will be brought to bear in defending him.

Hawaii Judge Orders Loosening of Trump Travel Ban

A Hawaii judge late Thursday ordered a nationwide loosening of President Donald Trump’s temporary ban on U.S. entry for some travelers from six Muslim-majority countries, ruling the administration’s strict approach contradicted a recent Supreme Court ruling.

The decision is a fresh legal blow for the president just two weeks after a Supreme Court ruling allowed the administration to implement its travel ban against refugees and foreign nationals from six countries who have no connection to the U.S.

U.S. District Judge Derrick Watson in Hawaii took issue with that interpretation. He issued an order late Thursday, which applies nationwide, that says people with broader family ties are also exempt from the ban.

“The Government’s definition of close familial relationship is not only not compelled by the Supreme Court’s June 26 decision, but contradicts it,” the judge wrote.

AG Chin just wants to be on the Dems good side so when he is done here, he will get a job guarantee and most likely move to the mainland.

Supreme Court Gives Hawaii Activist Judge Tuesday Deadline To Respond…

https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2017/07/15/supreme-court-gives-hawaii-activist-judge-tuesday-deadline-to-respond/

Last week former President Obama’s classmate [and, not surprisingly, Obama appointee], Hawaii Judge Derrick Watson, once again blocked the implementation of the travel and visa restrictions put into place by President Trump and the Department of Homeland Security.

At the heart of the matter activist Judge Watson is demanding that Homeland Security permit as many foreign terrorists as possible be granted entry into the U.S.  According to the world-view that all occupants of planet earth are inherently future citizens of the United States, Judge Watson claims everyone should be allowed entry into the U.S. regardless of national security concerns.

It should be noted that Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, UAE, and other GCC nations have initiated a total Muslim travel ban with Qatar…. meanwhile a U.S. judge frames the limited scope of President Trump’s ‘temporary travel restrictions‘ as overreach. Go figure.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The U.S. Supreme Court has asked the State of Hawaii to respond by Tuesday at noon to President Donald Trump’s motion to block a judge’s ruling that prevented his travel ban from being applied to grandparents of U.S. citizens and refugees already being processed by resettlement agencies, the court’s public information office said on Saturday.
