President Donald Trump lashed out on Twitter against the court that blocked his order to withhold funding from “sanctuary cities” calling it a “ridiculous” ruling and vowing to take his fight to the Supreme Court.
First the Ninth Circuit rules against the ban & now it hits again on sanctuary cities-both ridiculous rulings. See you in the Supreme Court!

He later followed up on that tweet with others ripping into the court.
Out of our very big country, with many choices, does everyone notice that both the "ban" case and now the "sanctuary" case is brought in …

…the Ninth Circuit, which has a terrible record of being overturned (close to 80%). They used to call this "judge shopping!" Messy system.

The 9th Circuit Court had upheld a nationwide block on Trump’s first travel ban, CNN said. A second attempt by the administration to implement a re-written version of the ban has also been blocked by the courts.
