Gee, whoda seen this coming?

If judges want to make laws they should run for Congress. If they want to implement them they should run for President. But what they have no business doing is either when it is their job to pass judgement on the legality of things. That is exactly what they have NOT been doing in all of these injunctions.

The ruling was by U.S. District Judge Jinsook Ohta of the Southern District of California, a judge who undoubtedly has a vested interest in immigration. (I rather doubt a guy or gal named Gin-soaked, er, Jinsook, has a long family history in America) and it orders the diversity lottery be restored. The administration halted it when it was learned the Brown University shooter got into the country via this program.

Immigration is the province of the Executive branch of government and the courts have very limited authority on the matter. This judge is WAY out of line.

The judge (a woman, apparently) even admitted it:

"There is no statutory requirement that every available diversity visa be issued each year,”

So it is none of her business, it seems. If the Administration deems it unwise at this time no tinhorn judge has a right to second guess them.

The Red Eagle law firm was the spearhead for this and I wonder if they had legal standing. Who hired them and paid their bills? The article does not say but I suspect it wasn't a plaintiff who was trying to hire one of these folks; if it was an alien they had no standing nor does some immigrant advocacy group.

Again, this is a district judge issuing an injunction that impacts the whole country and not just her district. Trump should reduce the numbers down to just a few candidates and send them all to her district and nowhere else. She has no authority to foist all of these people on the nation as a whole.

My question is, why is a 1991 law still in place? Why hasn't Congress repealed it? They are busy reforming college sports and other useless stuff and let things like this remain.

The Left really knew what it was doing when they packed the courts with their own partisan hacks.
