Jeff Sessions, angry that the Trump administration's travel ban from predominately Islamic countries was shot down by federal judges for a second time, recently said, “I really am amazed that a judge sitting on an island in the Pacific can issue an order that stops the president of the United States from what appears to be clearly his statutory and constitutional power.”
The implication from Sessions is clear - Hawaii is somehow less of a state than the contiguous 48 and a non-white judge from far away can't possibly care about protecting the real [white] America.
Both the judge and entire population of Hawaii don't deserve to have their patriotism questioned by the head of the Justice Department. This *American* federal judge had every right to question the constitutionality of the executive order, and the attorney general should understand that rather than participating in the belittling of "so-called judges" that the president has started previously.
Sessions, we ask that you apologize to Hawaii for the slight.
