Although letting the 9th Circuit Court decide - a liberal court governing a massive liberal majority - should CERTAINLY not decide either.

But they should. That's their legal right, apparantly. The US system of political judges is pretty bad regardless.

Quote
However, no part of the law even politely asks a judge for his opinion on the matter. It leaves the decision up to the PRESIDENT.

He doesn't have too. If someone appeals, even if it's a 18-year-old bicycle repairman from up-state New York, the courts can judge the law. Allowing judges only to review a law if asked for by the initiator of the law (or rather, executive order in this example) is doing away completely with checks and balances.

Don't think Judges really care about checks and balances. They are not elected, and apparently they can do whatever the hell with the law they want to if someone challenges it at all.

The fact the office of President, the head of the executive branch, can appoint members of the supreme court, members of the judiciary branch, already shows that Checks and Balances in the US is a damn joke.

..what? That's a pretty retarded thing to say. Because one branch appoints (but has no power over) another branch that shows that the "checks and balances in the US is a joke"?

Since "Merkled opened the doors" (Which she did not btw... The law was already there,) nothing has changed for me... I have not seen any difference. Most people still talk German, the infrastructure has not collapsed, public schools still function, the military and police still have a budget, the courts still function, there have been no real terrorist attacks (Unless you count 2 random dudes with a machete and a dude with a truck as major terrorist attack...), there are not 1000000 million of refugees roaming the streets, women can still go out at night without getting robbed, stabbed or raped...

Edit:
In response to riddlez:

Yeah, I was thinking the same. There are like a billion gun murders every day in the US. There are huge gang wars and entire city blocks owned by gangs. There are city blocks that a non-gang member should not visit and the US has a huge drug problem and has way to much debt to be believable. (Sure I am exaggerating, it is not like that everywhere, but still, you know it is at least partly true) Yet the US people think that refugees are killing Europe, where practically none of the shit noted above is happening.

Just because nothing has changed for you doesnt mean there arent problems.

Go to the social workers, the teachers in schools that are placed inside of ghettos, talk with them. A Female Friend of mine was just recently harassed by refugess. There are issues. Lots of them. And people like you are the reason why we cant talk about them in a way that is able to prevent them.

They're certainly killing the tourism industry, especially in places like France and Turkey. And again in France they are quite literally roaming the streets and making a mess.

As for killing the continent, nah, they're just speeding things up. The EU is a ticking time bomb, a disaster waiting to destroy eventually destroy Europe (or at least the prominent member states). It's led by the Germans too, go figure.

That's funny. I mention it because all I see here about France is some no-go zones alarmist shit. Didn't need a forum achievement to grow up don't worry.

Yeah this video was taken after a police evacuation of a illegal camp. Sure it's a mess. All this because of the Touquet agreement putting UK-France border in France for all the illegal immigrants who wants to go to the UK. I hope with your departure from the EU we will be free from all this shit and let them freely take a boat to the UK ;)

I've been to France several times since 2015 and they were roaming the streets and roads of Calais in large numbers on each occasion, screaming at cars and trying to jump on lorries etc. I also saw make-shift camps in Central Paris with tents, litter everywhere, men hanging around in groups and so on. I didn't see any women, maybe a child or two but >95% were grown men. Never been to Germany, however a German friend of mine (a lawyer who I studied with in the UK and now works for regional government) told me last year the refugee system was close to collapse-they're still dealing with a massive backlog of cases and the average wait for a migrant to be seen to have their claim assessed was over a month.

Now of course Olafson claims everything is fine, though if that's the case then why was Merkel so keen to do that deal with Erdogan to close the borders?

It's the very definition of a check-and-balance. One power (The president) nominates another power (the judiciary) and that appointment is refused or accepted by the third power (Congress). The judiciary then reviews decisions made by the other two powers independent from them.

PVV lost like 5 seats in the polls. Oh boy.

Yes, enjoy your comedy as Europe destroys itself with dindu nuffin arabs protected by the left and the MSM  but yes, lecture us on how we are sheep for wanting to control who comes into our country and actually trying to address the problem that is Radical Islamic Terrorism and its implications

funny you bring that up. Somehow terrorism gets all the attention nowadays. Stll it's no more or less a factual problem than it was 10 years ago - when immigration wasn't an item, an defense budget cuts were massively happening throughout Europe.

The anti-terrorism campaign and the 'radical islam problem' is no more than fearmongering. Terrorism ahsn't ever, is currently not and probably won't ever be an actual threat to the stability of Western countries. I'll start worrying when something like that kills more people than traffic accidents.

Terrorism is on a all-time-low in Europe, though. Political terrorism was more active and and more deadly in the seventies and eighties. Can immigration or radical islam lead to problems that we must overcome? Yeah, sure. But it isn't going to destroy the system. It's just going to cost some money.
