THE CONSTITUTION IS A TOUGH TASKMASTER:
Judge refuses to remove block on Trump sanctuary city order (Dan Levine, July 20, 2017, Reuters)
U.S. District Judge William Orrick III in San Francisco ruled that a recent memo from the Justice Department that appeared to narrow the scope of Trump's executive order on sanctuary cities did not remove the need for a court-ordered injunction.Orrick wrote that the memo is not binding and the attorney general can revoke it at any time. [...]In a ruling in April, Orrick said Trump's order targeted broad categories of federal funding for sanctuary governments and that plaintiffs challenging the order were likely to succeed in proving it unconstitutional.
