INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — A federal judge has permanently barred Indiana from trying to prevent Syrian refugees from resettling in the state under an order Vice President Mike Pence championed as governor.

U.S. District Judge Tanya Walton Pratt approved a judgment Tuesday permanently enjoining Indiana from withholding authorized payments to Indianapolis-based Exodus Refugee Immigration, which resettles refugees in the state.

Pence cited terrorism fears in issuing a November 2015 order barring state agencies from making payments to help relocate Syrians to Indiana.

The American Civil Liberties Union of Indiana sued Indiana, arguing Pence's order illegally targeted Syrians based on their nationality and violated the U.S. Constitution and federal law.

Pratt temporarily blocked Pence's order in February 2016, saying it "clearly discriminates" against Syrian refugees.

A federal appeals court sided with Pratt in October 2016.

The state government shouldn't be such a pussy and just respond with "The judge has made their decision, lets see them enforce it."

Federal Funds have strings attached. They won't give up the other gravy trains.

Judges CANNOT 1. Order 2. Rule or anything like that except in criminal cases. They can only opine. They are not the final word, they are one of 3 branches and they dont super cede the other two. Otherwise a jew who bought his way to the bench can rule on matters like this. Fvk em. Wait till a LAW is passed by both houses and signed by the executive - THEN a judge can chime in. Until then its just a tool in a black robe spouting his opinion.

I think today most of those judges are adminstrative law judges under the control of Congress, not the judicial branch. The only two district courts I have been able to verify as being actual Article III district courts are in Hawaii and the District of Columbia. Regardless which branch they are in as you noted they cannot supercede the other two.
