9th Circuit Upholds Suspension of Trump’s Muslim Travel Ban
The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals has unanimously upheld the suspension of Donald Trump’s Muslim travel ban…
Here’s the ruling.
The Justice Department, representing the Trump administration, could now ask the Supreme Court — which often defers to the president on matters of immigration and national security — to intervene. The Supreme Court, though, remains one justice short, and many see it as ideologically split 4-4. A tie would keep in place whatever the appeals court decides.
A Justice Department lawyer, representing the Trump administration, and Washington state’s solicitor general, representing the opposition, made their final pitches to the appeals court Tuesday at a contentious hearing. Both sides faced skeptical questioning, and the panel seemed particularly interested in what evidence Trump relied upon in implementing his order, and what limits the Justice Department saw on the president’s authority to set immigration policy.

Hilarious Kellyanne Conway “buy Ivanka’s stuff” memes are blowing up the Internet
Professional liar Kellyanne Conway stepped in it this week when she went on Fox & Friends to encourage Americans to buy Ivanka Trump’s crappy clothes made by poor factory workers in third world countries after Nordstrom announced it would no longer be carrying the First Daughter’s products.
“It’s a wonderful line,” Conway touted. “I own some of it. I fully–I’m going to give a free commercial here. Go buy it today, everybody! You can find it online!”

On Thursday, House Oversight Committee Chairman Rep. Jason Chaffetz called Conway’s actions “unacceptable” and said he was referring her for an ethics investigation to see whether she broke the law by violating a federal regulation that bars government employees from using their public office to endorse products. (Spoiler alert: She did!)

“When Ivanka was a kid, she got frustrated because she couldn’t set up a lemonade stand in Trump Tower. ‘We had no such advantages,’ Ivanka writes, meaning, in this case, an ordinary home on an ordinary street. She and her brothers finally tried to sell lemonade at their summer place in Connecticut, but their neighborhood was so ritzy that there was no foot traffic. ‘As good fortune would have it, we had a bodyguard that summer,’ she writes. They persuaded their bodyguard to buy lemonade, and then their driver, and then the maids, who ‘dug deep for their spare change.’ The lesson, she says, is that the kids ‘made the best of a bad situation.'” Awww, Poor Ivanka! ?? #wakeupamerica #kkktrump #makeamericagreatagain #trump16 #trump2016 #trumpforpresident #trumpthatbitch #society #imwithyou #womenfortrump #deplorables #trumptrain #christiansfortrump #gaysfortrump #nevertrump #presidenttrump #studentsfortrump #trumpinauguration #trumppence16 #trump #trumpsucks #maga #notmypresident #trumpsamerikkka #liberaltears #trumpwongetoverit #ivankatrump #kellyanneconway

ACLU Video Spotlights Gavin Grimm, the Transgender Teen Headed to SCOTUS : WATCH
The American Civil Liberties Union has provided a poignant update on Gavin Grimm as he gears up for his forthcoming case to go before the Supreme Court this spring. The ACLU has provided legal representation for the 17-year-old in a battle with his local Virginia school district over permission to use the boys’ room in accordance with his gender identity.
Most recently, Grimm has been spotted along with Katie Couric attending the premiere of the latter’s television special exploring transgender and intersex issues.
The case has national implications for a relatively new policy area that has grown heated with developments such as the Obama administration’s issuance of federal guidelines to schools on the matter, as well as attempts by states to preemptively legislate against transgender individuals that have met with pushback by businesses and grassroots LGBTQ activists, including Grimm’s own state.
In the video, Grimm is being tailored for his suit for court by Brooklyn clothing company Bindle & Keep, who have waived their fees for the purpose. Gavin, as well as his mother, discuss the case, their journey, and the stakes involved:
“I realize now this is a lot bigger than myself and my greater goal now is to try to make things better for the people that come after me, because I can’t speak for everybody, but there’s things that need to be spoken about.”
