They just can't give up can they? Even one of the their own federal judges says enough is enough.

A federal judge in Hawaii has denied a motion filed by that state seeking to limit the scope of President Donald Trump's so-called travel ban, parts of which were cleared to be implemented by the U.S. Supreme Court.


U.S. District Judge Derrick Watson said in a ruling Thursday in Honolulu that the Supreme Court is the proper venue to deal with the issue. Watson denied the request without prejudice to its re-filing with the Supreme Court.


Hawaii argued that the government's plan for enforcing the executive order wrongly excluded grandparents and other relatives from the list of close family members who would still be able to get visas to travel to the United States during the 90 days while the executive order is in force. Government lawyers argued against broadening exceptions, as sought by Hawaii and others.

A graduate of Harvard College and Harvard Law School, a federal prosecutor, unanimously approved by the senate. He work in private practice in San Fransisco and then as a federal prosecutor in California and then in Hawaii so I would think he is fairly liberal.

But when it comes to rule of law he basically told his own state "pity the fool who tries, or think I'm going to, override SCOTUS, got a problem, it's in their court take it up with them".

"This Court will not upset the Supreme Court’s careful balancing and “equitable judgment” ... nor would this district court presume to substitute its own understanding of the stay for that of the originating Court’s “exercise of discretion and judgment,” said Watson.

EDIT: I should have posted his full name for search: Derrick Kahala Watson, United States District Court for the District of Hawaii

What's next? They're going to challenge the constitutionality of the electoral college?

Knowing liberals they may challenge the constitutionality of the Constitution itself. The may say the Supreme Court is unconstitutional
