If you are a fan of vampire novels or films you know that the undead can't cross your threshold without an invitation.

Attorney: Ruling a victory for rule of law

Those fighting the executive order celebrated the decision Monday.

"This is a victory for the American people and the rule of law," San Francisco city attorney Dennis Herrera said in a statement. "This executive order was unconstitutional before the ink on it was even dry.

"We live in a democracy. No one is above the law, including the president."
The statement added that he was "grateful that we've been able to protect billions of dollars that help some of the most vulnerable Americans."

However, a Department of Justice spokesman said the court had "exceeded its authority" in its ruling, and vowed that the department would continue to follow Trump's direction with regard to the January executive order.

"The District Court exceeded its authority today when it barred the President from instructing his cabinet members to enforce existing law," spokesman Devin O'Malley said.

"The Justice Department will vindicate the President's lawful authority to direct the executive branch."

As a matter of fact I do like some vampire lore, mostly by Anne Rice, her vampires don't really need an invitation, they seek out the "evil doer"

Speaking of Charles Manson (sorry once again)I told my granddaughter he died yesterday, she is fifteen (almost), she said, "you mean he was a real person?"

Very interesting comment by your granddaughter. Did she think of him as a fictional monster or just not know who he was?

It's not all bad. They're jubilant in Zimbabwe right now.

The Obama administration’s net neutrality rules met their all-but-certain demise Tuesday as Federal Communications Commission Chairman Ajit Pai outlined a plan to repeal them — while making sure states can't impose their own regulations to fill the void.

Pai will release his proposal on Wednesday with broad support on the Republican-controlled FCC, leaving supporters of the 2015 policy with little recourse except to fight back in the courts.
