FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS: BUSH APPOINTED JUDGE HALTS TRUMP TRAVEL BAN NATIONWIDE

This developing tonight..

A federal judge in Seattle issued a temporary nationwide restraining order Friday stopping President Trump's executive order banning citizens of seven countries from entering the United States.Judge James Robart, who was appointed by former President George Bush in 2003, ruled the executive order would be stopped nationwide, effective immediately.“The Constitution prevailed today,” Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson said in a statement after the ruling. “No one is above the law — not even the President.”"It's our president's duty to honor this ruling and I'll make sure he does," Ferguson added.The ruling, made at the request of Washington and Minnesota, is the broadest to date against Trump's executive order.

Confusion over the Trump executive disorder

Reporting from CNN

When President Donald Trump declared at the Pentagon Friday he was enacting strict new measures to prevent domestic terror attacks, there were few within his government who knew exactly what he meant.Administration officials weren't immediately sure which countries' citizens would be barred from entering the United States. The Department of Homeland Security was left making a legal analysis on the order after Trump signed it. A Border Patrol agent, confronted with arriving refugees, referred questions only to the President himself, according to court filings.Saturday night, a federal judge granted an emergency stay for citizens of the affected countries who had already arrived in the US and those who are in transit and hold valid visas, ruling they can legally enter the US.

And more..

It wasn't until Friday -- the day Trump signed the order banning travel from seven Muslim-majority countries for 90 days and suspending all refugee admission for 120 days -- that career homeland security staff were allowed to see the final details of the order, a person familiar with the matter said.The result was widespread confusion across the country on Saturday as airports struggled to adjust to the new directives. In New York, two Iraqi nationals sued the federal government after they were detained at John F. Kennedy International Airport, and 10 others were detained as well.

Biometric Database of All Adult Americans Hidden in Immigration Reform

Civil rights advocates are worrying that immigration reform the Senate began debating yesterday is the first step toward a national identification system that would grow into a dossier on Americans and chronicle our most every move. That’s because buried in the more than 800-plus-page piece of bipartisan legislation is language calling for the creation of a national, biometric identification system for workers.

Quite possibly the most important news of our time.. and no one is really even paying attention to this. From WIRED magazine, folks.. not a ‘conspiracy site’ as many would call it. Perhaps we all need to read this immigration bill, since we know Congress will not.
