Apparently, lil' Beauregard the Angry Elf is neither a fan of weed nor the 50th effing STATE.



http://www.rawstory.com/2017/04/ag-sessions-9th-circuit-judge-on-island-in-the-pacific-shouldnt-be-able-to-overrule-trump-orders/

Attorney General Jeff Sessions, chief lawyer of the United States government, continued the Trump administration’s relentless attacks on the judicial branch, insisting he’s “amazed that a judge sitting on an island in the Pacific” has the Constitutional authority to block Donald Trump’s travel ban.

Sessions was referring to a federal judge in Hawaii, who last month issued a nationwide restraining order against Trump’s immigration ban, which blocked travel from six countries and indefinitely suspended the admission of Syrian refugees.

“We’ve got cases moving in the very, very liberal Ninth Circuit, who, they’ve been hostile to the order,” AG Sessions said, according to CNN’s KFILE. “We won a case in Virginia recently that was a nicely-written order that just demolished, I thought, all the arguments that some of the other people have been making.”

“We are confident that the President will prevail on appeal and particularly in the Supreme Court, if not the Ninth Circuit,” he continued. “So this is a huge matter. I really am amazed that a judge sitting on an island in the Pacific can issue an order that stops the President of the United States from what appears to be clearly his statutory and Constitutional power.

on Thursday, after he said he was "amazed" a judge "on an island in the Pacific" could halt the president's travel order.

"Hey Jeff Sessions, this #IslandinthePacific has been the 50th state for going on 58 years," Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii) tweeted.

"And we won’t succumb to your dog whistle politics."

Just so you will understand.
You can't build a wall on the west coast.
You can't retroactively revoke President Obama's birth certificate.
You can't retroactively revoke President Obama's Presidency
You can't deport all Hawaiians from the U.S.
