The Trump administration had revised its original travel ban after the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that a lower court’s stay of the ban would remain in place. Those revisions weren’t enough to satisfy a judge in Hawaii, obviously, who called the “illogic of the Government’s contentions … palpable.”

Once again, it looks like the judge has considered remarks made by Trump during the campaign — before he was elected and inaugurated — as evidence in determining that the ban is driven by “religious animus.”

The Court has found that Trump's order violates the religious establishment clause and has blocked the #muslimban from going into effect.

Looks like the pro-Trump establishment is the resistance in this particular ongoing battle.

Judge in Hawaii strikes down Trump's new ban which is narrow and entirely constitutional… This is judicial tyranny!!!
— Kayleigh McEnany (@kayleighmcenany) March 15, 2017
Ongoing, unbridled, rampant, endless, disgraceful judicial tyranny. https://t.co/wKfDNGPxXS

Time to break the power of federal judiciary, which is entirely in the power of Congress. https://t.co/ornG4JnhrQ

If intent and "context" is now a justification for striking down laws, rather than the laws themselves, we have a whole lot of laws to gut.
