Mark Levin, the conservative talk radio host and constitutional law scholar, destroyed the ruling by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, whom he’s dubbed on Twitter the “Ninth Circus Court of Schlemiels.” On his radio show Thursday night, he slammed the court’s “disgraceful” and “pathetic” decision to uphold a stay on President Donald J. Trump’s executive order limiting travel from 7 Muslim-majority nations.
“They’re not citizens, they’re not permanent legal residents,” he said of those impacted by the travel ban. “They have a visa. That’s it! And the government can yank the visa whenever the hell it wants to!”
Levin, who was no fan of President Trump during the Republican primary, reveres the U.S. Constitution. For years, he’s been sounding the alarm on judicial activism, which most Americans oppose. In fact, in his book Men in Black, he laid out how activist judges threaten the rule of law and the very foundation of the Republic.
“That’s what happens when you have a bunch of clowns in a black robe, with a couple of law clerks who sit there thinking this is a debating society!” Levin added.
A brand new PPD Poll finds a solid majority of Americans support the president executive order. A recent Rasmussen Reports survey found 68% believe the Supreme Court should rule based on what’s written in the U.S. Constitution and legal precedents.
In this case, the law is crystal clear and the justices are attempting to give non-citizens the same rights as U.S. citizens, which effectively renders the rights enshrined in the U.S. Constitution to citizens, absolutely worthless.

I thought you folks with the copies of the Constitution in your pockets were all in favor of personal liberties and against the power of government to infringe on those rights. As I recall, the Declaration of Independence speaks of how “all men” have inalienable rights. Take that in for a second: “all men,” not “all citizens.” So here we have a court that has stopped the government from infringing on those rights without providing due process, and you’re upset? This is not “judicial activism,” folks. This is not a “liberal” ruling. It is a highly conservative ruling. You should all be applauding! But I won’t hold my breath…

Hey Pete – Where do non-citizens derive rights from the Constitution? If non-citizens had the same rights as citizens to travel freely, the notion of immigration policy would be an absurdity. Congrats. You found some liberal hack judges to rule based upon their desired outcome, but don’t act like they started with fealty to the Constitution. People might think you really believe that, and I doubt you would want them to think you are that dumb.

Right, our immigration policy is absurd. Only Comprehensive Immigration Reform can fix it. Like Obama tried to do but Congress said we like it to be absurd. So absurd it is.

Mark Levin is the anti-Jew. The number of his Beast is $5.99, that’s the wholesale discount price from $6.66 because only gentiles pay retail. Why isn’t he Secretary of Commerce? Or something? Ya know? Jus’ sayin’ y’all…
