Still trying to wrap my head around the rationale of this judgement.

You're assigning rational thought to a liberal judge. Your head will explode before it ever makes sense.

Like I said in my first response on this thread, just ignore this idiot. He's overstepping his jurisdiction and not even correct in his assertions/assessments.

perhaps the trump administration's strategy of spamming questionably legal orders and praying the judiciary doesn't slap them down is not a durable or effective governance model



I guess your former handle "Old McDonald" took the perma ban, huh?! LOL

The posts emanating from this new handle are just as weapons grade stupid.

Was looking at Indian press.
Look at the arrogance. "huge win for Indians". And yes, "global talent" (yes, we know). So they spend all their time figuring out ways to sneak into the US.

It's almost a certainty the Obama-judge Sorokin decision will be appealed to the 1st circuit. It's a pretty weak opinion, imho.

But, I do doubt the order will be stayed pending appeal.

  • The Trump administration is appealing a ruling that struck down a new $100,000 H-1B fee.
  • Judge Leo Sorokin ruled on June 8 that the fee functioned as a tax that Congress had not authorized.

  • But when the left wants something it is a fee (see Obama Care) not a tax. Got it.

    These ****ing judges are maddening! This is the blueprint for Republicans when the dems are in power. Just file appeals with conservative judges and stop them in their tracks. Of course with Republicans we'll either be ******* and not file appeals or GOP appointed judges will "do the right thing" and allow the dems to destroy the country.
    Sure would be nice if we fought as hard as they do.

    It's been appealed already per above.

    I hope Trump decides to double it to $200K once reversed on remand. Call it a 'Leo Sorokin executive finding/order'.

    I mean I don't know why I have to say it but I guess I do. You are getting infinity H-1Bs. It doesn't matter who is the President. You are getting infinity H-1Bs. It doesn't matter what your favorite politician says. You are getting infinity H-1Bs. It doesn't matter that the GOP is going to get rid of H-1Bs. You are getting infinity H-1Bs

    No we absolutely don't need it (and don't want it). Doesn't matter,

    You got it.
    All the powerful people make money in this. It is a pipeline. Business owners, politicians (who get bribed), immigration lawyers, house builders, restaurants etc.

    It is a race to the bottom long term though even if it looks like we are benefitting short term.

    I'm not even surprised by this, frankly, given TAMU's leadership these past 10+ years.

    A federal appeals court rejects Trump's bid to keep in place the $100,000 H-1B visa fee

    President Donald Trump's plans for H-1B visas are running into legal roadblocks.
    A federal appeals court on Friday refused to revive Trump's $100,000 fee on new H-1B work visas, dealing another setback to the administration's effort to dramatically raise the cost of hiring highly skilled foreign workers.

    Shocker, another piece of **** liberal judge doing everything they can to ruin America. Because they hate Trump.

    This is getting so old.

    all you need to know about the first judge:

    President Barack Obama nominated Sorokin to serve as a United States district judge of the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts.


    This has nothing to do with the law and everything to do with politics.
