It is. A few hundred thousand out of 1.6 billion shouldn’t sully a religion. Are you willing to tag Christianity as a religion of terror by the same criteria?
Imagine that. An activities, lunatic judge quashing a bigoted pricks misdeeds. Do you have any idea how hard the world is laughing at the US now? Our enemies have ordered 10,000 lawn chairs and a million pounds of juffy-pop, and they’re cancelled regularly scheduled propaganda broadcasts in favor of actual footage of the Buffoon-In_Chief.
And yes, I think this is Humpy’s sock. Same level of stupidity.
Check out the covers of these recent magazines. I have never seen anything remotely like this before, and these are mass-circulation mainstream publications.
I’m not a fan of Trump’s executive order, but to be honest it is judicial activism, regardless of who appointed Judge Robarts. Unless there’s some portion of the immigration law I’ve never seen brought up before, under our constitution people who are not citizens or permanent residents and have not entered the country don’t have constitutional protections. For example a British dude wanting to visit America has no “constitutional right” to do so.
The Constitution leaves it up to Congress to regulate who can come and go at our borders. Under those laws, the British dude is allowed visa free travel, but someone from a country like Iran generally is not. They require a visa, the law on visas specifically says that high State Department officials (who take orders from the President) can more or less at their discretion choose to revoke visas. So whatever your opinion on its policy implications (and again, I disagree with the EO), given the law and past precedent by Obama and Bush this order “doesn’t sit right” with me. Judges shouldn’t be changing the law just because Trump is a bad guy. Our system requires Congress to be the one to set the rules here, and they have.
If you look at the judicial order, though, I think it’s not really attacking the entire law, but more how it was implemented. For example, revoking visas that people already had and who were mid-flight to the US.
