Friday's restraining order by Judge James Robart, of the Federal District Court in Seattle, ceased the implementation Trump's executive action restricting immigration from seven countries with predominantly Muslim populations.
Judge Napolitano said it appears that Judge Robart is second-guessing the wisdom and the justice of the executive order.
He explained that the lawsuit, which was brought by the state of Washington and later joined by the state of Minnesota, says that people have suffered irreparable harm because of the travel ban and an injunction should be applied.
Judge Napolitano said a major factor in this case is that the plaintiffs aren't people trying to enter the U.S., but states who are suing on behalf of those people.
"The Constitution requires the plaintiffs be people who are actually harmed or in immediate likelihood of harm ... to bring a lawsuit, particularly against the president of the United States," Judge Napolitano explained.
He said when the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals hears oral arguments Monday afternoon, he expects that they will focus their inquiry on that particular issue.
"Was it proper for Judge Robart, sitting in Seattle, to prevent the effect of this executive order, signed by the president of the United States?" Judge Napolitano said. "If the answer is 'yes,' then the ban on executive order will stay in place while Judge Robart ... will hold a trial. If the answer is 'no,' then the ban that the president put in place will be back in place while Judge Robart holds a trial."
Francis asked Judge Napolitano what outcome he expects.
"That the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals will reverse Judge Robart and reinstate President Trump's executive order, because the two plaintiffs here - the two states, Washington and Minnesota - do not have the standing to bring an action on behalf of others," Judge Napolitano said. "Others who are harmed have to bring that action directly."
Trump, himself, was quick to voice his opinion of the order on Twitter:
The opinion of this so-called judge, which essentially takes law-enforcement away from our country, is ridiculous and will be overturned!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 4, 2017

It was ok that obuma could sign hundreds of executive orders and allow millions of illegal aliens into the country and run up the debt to twenty trillion--etc--etc--etc, but GOD forbid that he is doing everything he can to correct the wrongs in our beloved country, and turn it back into a great ---reinstated REPUBLIC. All you idiots out there should be down on your knees thanking GOD that you do not have Killary running the show--you know--the one who raped Cathy O-Brian--( read TRANS--FORMATION OF AMERICA) and you will realize how GOD blessed you by putting D. Trump in the WH. Everybody who was on her gravy train is pissed off. They gave here 0ne point two billion dollars --I am told to keep the train rolling for another four years, but low and behold, that turned out to be a major train wreck---( all those donors are all very--very--very --upset now because
there is no way to get their money back---Too frigging bad. I can not vote and have no skin in the game---so I am not biased. Look what MR D has done so far--give the gupper a chance--he is not trying to destroy our beloved country---like obuma did---PJ
