CNN: A Federal Judge in Hawaii Blocks Trump’s Latest Travel Ban, One Day Before It Is Set to Take Effect

RUSH EXCERPT:

SCHNEIDER: "Exactly right, Jake. Every time the White House revises this travel ban. It was supposed to go into effect tomorrow. A federal judge finds a way to stop it in its tracks. Hawaii federal court judge Derek Watson stopped the second travel ban. Issued an opinion calling this latest and third version of the ban detrimental and discriminatory. He said the travel ban signed by the president late last month, quote, suffers from precisely the same problems as its predecessor. It finds sufficient findings that the entry of more than 150 million nationals from six specified countries would be detrimental to the interests of the United States. Judge Watson has now granted a temporary restraining order. That halts the travel ban, at least for now. Civil liberties groups are calling this a victory for the rule of law. Now, the president's latest executive order that, again, won't take effect, it set varying restrictions on travellers from eight separate KUNS, Schad, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Yemen and notably north Korea and Venezuela. Now many people believe the last two quantities were added in part to refute the idea that this was a Muslim ban, and interestingly, the Hawaii court only issued its ruling on the basis of the first six countries and excluded Venezuela and north Korea in its analysis. Now what happens next? Well, the Supreme Court was supposed to hear arguments on travel ban 2.0 earlier this month. It delayed those hearings after 3.0 was issued. It asked the parties to submit additional briefs. No word on exactly what will happen now. Jake, still no word from the Trump Administration after all this federal decision was just issued, you know, minutes ago, that this travel ban that was supposed to take effect tomorrow will not."
