SIR - The federal judge who decided to suspend an executive order from the President of the USA regarding implementing temporary travel restrictions affecting seven countries and the refugee programme is in danger of undermining the independence of the judiciary if this is to be construed as a wilful interference of the democratic process. 
The judiciary is charged with considerable responsibility in the upholding and interpretation of the law, which does not allow arbitrary interference in the democratic process. A President’s executive order should not lightly be obstructed by unelected judges as this could precipitate a constitutional crisis which may unleash forces which cannot easily be controlled. 
President Trump had been elected to implement specific policies and thus has the legal and moral authority to do so and it is an absurdity that a “so-called judge “ feels he is able to undermine this process. A country is entitled to decide who may enter its territory and whether to accept any refugees as a matter of policy, but the hateful Liberal- Left seek every opportunity to impose its own dubious, hypocritical values, even though a majority of people don’t share them.
