The notoriously liberal Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has sided with the Trump Administration, agreeing the President has the legal authority to suspend refugee resettlement in the United States.

This is a big win in court.

Pro-immigration groups had won an injunction in a lower court to stop Trump from indefinitely suspending the resettlement of aliens in America on the legal basis of "girls just wanna have fun" Or "I'm rubber you're glue" or whatever other woefully ridiculous concept they were able to employ. Fortunately the panel of the 9th Circuit knew this was a bridge too far and that the President has very broad authority in these matters.

I am of the opinion that these nuisance lawsuits are designed to tie up career government lawyers so they can't go after more important matters. Normally you can't do that; the government has too much money and can stay at it. But this isn't about bankrupting anyone as it would be to private citizens, but rather just to waste time.

At any rate a win's a win.
