AG Jeff Sessions is not helping even himself

AG Sessions states that he is amazed that a judge on an island in the pacific can block President Trumps immigration order.  Last time time that I looked, Hawaii is part of the United States.  It has been a state for 58 years.  Federal Judge Watson was confirmed.  Sessions as a Senator voted for him to be confirmed as well as 93 other Senators. The "Yeas" carried.

As for  the federal judge not having the authority to block the Presidents orders, AG Sessions needs to read and understand the last link clearly. I have a way of understanding things better when I can't get the grasp of something. Have someone with excellent diction read it to you. Someone needs to read the entire last link to Sessions.

Our constitution divides our government into three parts of a whole. President Trump needs to understand that it was done this way for one purpose. No individual or group can gain control of the government for their own agenda's.

The first branch job is to make the laws. This branch is called the Congress.  The President,Vice President, and Cabinet  are charged with carrying out the the laws. The final branch is the Judicial. It evaluates the laws.

The President has an option. He can veto any law passed by congress.  Congress also has an option.
Regarding appointments, they can confirm or deny any of his appointments. In some circumstances, they can even remove the President from office. The Justices of the Supreme court evaluate laws. They can overturn unconstitutional laws.

It seems that AG Sessions has forgotten some history, It also seems that he was not given a handbook on what his job was and was not. With the President, I feel that he doesn't listen to anyone.  Again there is too much use of alternative truths in this government.  Alternative truth is just a fancy word for lie.

I watched news feeds and read information from the following links before blogging.
