Despite the Muslim terrorist attack last week in Manchester, England, the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled 10 to 3 on Thursday (May 25) to uphold a lower court’s restraining order against President Trump’s executive order limiting travel from terrorism-plagued countries. One would think such a decision to be tone-deaf at best, but like Democrats everywhere, the hyper-partisan Democrat-packed court has gone way beyond its authority. The Immigration and Nationality Act gives the president clear authority to block any group from entering the country if he considers such a policy to be in the national interest. The courts are not supposed to second-guess the president’s judgment. After all, the president is Commander-in-Chief and has access to secret intelligence. He is obviously in a better position to decide such things than unelected men and women in black robes – and it is his job, not that of the courts. Traditionally the courts have granted the president great deference in such national-security-related matters.
