About

"See You In Court" refers to a series of jokes mocking a tweet written by United States President Donald Trump in reaction to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruling which deemed his travel ban executive order as unconstitutional.

Origin

On February 9th, 2017, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals unanimously ruled that the Trump's executive order imposing new travel restrictions on foreign nationals originating from seven Muslim-majority countries was unconstitutional. That evening, Trump posted the tweet "See you in court, the security of our nation is at stake!" in all capital letters (shown below). Within 24 hours, the tweet gained over 203,000 likes and 61,000 retweets.[1] Meanwhile, the @realdonaldtrump Instagram[8] feed posted a quote of the tweet on a blue background.

That evening, many Twitter users began posting jokes about the tweet, featuring internet memes like Crying Michael Jordan, Arthur's Fist and "You Can't Cut Back on Funding" (shown below).

Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton tweeted the numbers "3-0," presumably referencing the three judges who put a hold on the executive orders. Within 24 hours, the tweet garnered more than 368,000 likes and 131,000 retweets.[3]
