On Thursday, February 9, 2017, the Washington Post published an article about how the federal appeals court ruling unanimously defeated Trump’s executive order, which temporarily banned people from seven predominately Muslim countries and all refugees from entering the United States.
In Donald Trump’s style, he took his presidency in a bold
and brash manner and just as he has grabbed the horns of business, he thought
he would be able to steer the United States government in the exact same manner.
However, the court’s ruling ultimately forced Trump to acknowledge the limits
of his power.
Despite this “major setback,” the government will most
likely appeal to the Supreme Court to reinstate Trump’s Muslim ban. Though without
the ninth circuit decision, a tie would remain and Trump’s Muslim ban “would be
no more."
This article is worth reading because it emphasizes the
importance of checks and balances and the separation of powers in our system of
government. Furthermore, this article proves that even the most powerful man in
our country, the POTUS, still has someone to answer too.
