Not even pretending
The God-Emperor has unmasked the lawlessness of the Left's
pretense at the Rule of Law, and in doing so, is building a strong case for
acting outside of the Left-dominated deceptively titled "justice
system":
His
basis for doing so was an extraordinary interpretation of the right to travel
and the freedom of association, which before, has only been associated with
U.S. citizens,” Barnes continued. “Every court decision in the 200 years prior
to this has said that people who are not citizens of the United States, who are
not present within the United States, have no First Amendment constitutional
rights. The Constitution doesn’t extend internationally to anybody, anywhere,
anyplace, at any time. Instead, this judge said it did, as long as you had a
university here who wanted to assert, quote-unquote, the foreigner’s rights, or
you had some physical person here. In this case, it was one of the leading
Muslim imams in Hawaii; he wants to bring over various family and friends from
the Middle East.”
“The Hawaii judge’s decision says he has a First Amendment constitutional right to do so because he’s Muslim. It was one of the most extraordinary interpretations of the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment ever given, which is that because these are Muslim countries that were banned where the issue of terror arises from that that meant they had a special right to access the country and visit the country,” he said.
“As long as there is somebody here that wants them here, no president can ever preclude them from coming here. He basically gave First Amendment rights to everybody around the world and gave special preferences to people who are Muslim under his interpretation of the First Amendment,” Barnes summarized.
“So it’s an extraordinarily broad order. Its legal doctrine has no limits. If you keep extending this, it means people from around the world have a special right to access the United States, visit the United States, emigrate to the United States, get visas to the United States. There wouldn’t be any limit, and the president would never be able to control our own borders. It would be up solely to the whim of a federal judge who effectively delegated it, in this case, to a Muslim imam in Hawaii,” he contended.
Barnes noted that the judge did not “cite any prior decision” that has ever established this astonishing new quirk of the Constitution.
“Just last year, the Supreme Court implicitly said the opposite, when they said your right to association does not include a right to bring foreigners into the United States, in the Din decision,” he pointed out. “Now, there were several concurrences, so the binding precedent of that has been left open, but he does not even reference or mention or discuss the decision. He doesn’t even mention the statute, the main statute that gives the president the right to ban any alien from the country, for any reason the president deems appropriate, for any temporary time period, that the president yesterday cited in his national speech. Like the prior Ninth Circuit decision, the Hawaii judge never mentions the decision at all.”
“So there’s no real legal precedent. He’s taking three or four different concepts that have been applied in completely different areas of law, that only ever have historically applied to U.S. citizens, and he’s magically adding it to foreigners and acting like that’s always been the case when it’s never been the case,” he said.

There is no way to pretend that what these courts are doing is in any
way compatible with democracy, law, tradition, history, or even Western
Civilization. What we are witnessing is a literal breakdown of civil society
and a descent into structural lawlessness. This has been a long time in the
making, but it is becoming increasingly impossible to even pretend that there
is a coherent or meaningful legal structure of any kind in the United States.
