Time to arrest those whom have taken an oath to uphold the law, yet choose to allow their "feelings" to supersede the oath they took!
Courts should NEVER set precedent, period.
Their job is purely to interpret the law and settle disputes over said law.
In this case, they're challenging laws which have been tested repeatedly and it has been ruled that the president has ultimate authority over immigration and unquestioned authority when National Security is cited to the court... veering from that is absolutely legislating from the bench and falls outside of the legal authority of the court.
oh, that's right, the majority of lawmakers right now don't align with the politics of those suddenly offended by immigration policies that have been enacted by virtually every prior POTUS, so they'll just bitch about it until a judge oversteps their place.

The answer "National Security" to that question has NEVER been questioned by any judge at the federal level in the history of this country... the fact that it now being questioned shows exactly what type of scum we presently have sitting on the benches.

It's another similar case, filed in Virginia. The judge made the request during the hearing.

The people are getting fed up with these a-holes. That's _exactly_ why the US Marshals Service has a protective detail on some of 'em now.

The law clearly states that the President has ultimate and final authority concerning immigration. These rulings are not going to stop it.
President Obama enraged Republicans by announcing he'd take unilateral action on illegal immigrants by allowing millions of them to stay in this country without fear of being deported. And even though the President himself disclaimed constitutional authority for such a move as recently as a year ago, U.S. Supreme Court precedents give him broad powers over who to allow into the country and who to kick out. Where the President's analysis may have gone astray is in what happens next.
Under those same precedents, the Supreme Court has made it clear that Congress holds the ultimate authority over immigration policy. The legislature has repeatedly stepped in to adjust or restrict presidential actions, such as the large-scale amnesties granted Haitian and Cuban immigrants in the 1980s and 1990s, even overriding treaties that prohibited the government from deporting non-citizens.
Instead of protecting them arrest them for treason!

Question: What other EO's regarding national security have been legally challenged and found it's way in front of a federal-level judge?

Sorry what I saw seems to be deleted and must be fake. All I can find is stuff saying there is a list of 23 or 24 terrorist that should suffice and was givin to fox news. Now it seems as to either been retracted or fake or verifications. Could have been a list someone else compiled as to people being charged with terrorism coming in from the refugee program.
I saw it with my own eyes and had not made any opinion so was asking your take. I did learn a lesson though.

Seems to me that your judgement is more clouded by politics than any judge.
"Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or non-immigrants, or impose on entry of aliens any restrictions may deem to be appropriate."
