    The 5000 - Trump's EO was a step to ensure that number does not increase. Unfortunately there are terrorists living in the US right now.

    No, they cannot do that.

    Korea was a UN police action and took place before the War Powers Resolution Act of 1973.

    Vietnam took place before the War Powers Resolution Act of 1973.

    There was a congressional Declaration of War from Congress for the Iraq invasion.

    Yes, I noted that above. At least one of the 29 judges on the ninth has some integrity.

    I care about my country being safe.

    Or he realizes the tortured legal logic needed to come to that conclusion. The implications for the future.

    Uhm, nope. That was a reply to Penrod.

    Me too. I don't see the EO as doing that though.

    OK. It's interesting at least one judge on the panel wants a do over. They're having second thoughts about the wisdom of their decision.

    His order was clearly within the law. obama has had 8 years to strategically infiltrate every court in our country with activist ideologues, who don't decide the legality of law, but decide based on feelings and emotions.

    If Congress did their f***ing job, they could have that fanatical 9th circuit dismantled and replaced with Trump-friendly judges.

    If I remember correctly, you are the one who brought up GWB, so I was just responding to your schizophrenic drivel.

    Yes, I'm sure you do. I was about to edit my post to acknowledge that. IMO the temporary EO was a part but the extreme vetting is the key. And I would note that the turmoil is coming from the political far left who are even camping out in front of Chuck Schumer's house in Brooklyn. Betsey DeVos visited a middle school in DC today and was verbally attacked. She was clearly concerned for her safety. A couple of demonstrators actually stood in front of her car to block her from leaving. All this for someone dedicated to give low income kids an equal chance for a quality education that would enable them to achieve economic security and a satisfying and productive life.

    There was no legal logic involved in the ninth's decision.

    Doesn't surprise me that someone has a different idea. It is interesting that that one judge made the comment. The "do-over" is speculation though.

    Well 2 states that sued to block President Trump's order, pointed towards his wanting to ban all Muslims from the US. I certainly hope the looney 9th circuit didn't base their decision on something he said during the campaign, never once was the word, "Muslim" in the Executive Order. If they based their decision on the fact that he said this, they are basically presuming to be "thought police."

    It's not all from the left. Check out Jason Chaffetz's town hall from yesterday in the most Republican state in the country.

    I understand the pushback and expected it. I just didn't expect it to be as large as it is. People are really disgruntled all over the US, just for different reasons.

    I don't know much about Betsy DeVos, other than watching her hearing. She didn't seem prepared to me. Time will tell how she does. If she didn't realize there was going to be resistance, I'd be surprised. Everything about her appointment was controversial.

    Hahaha! The 9th Circus Court has just requested an "En Banc" hearing to review their decision. They must have realized they screwed up after reading my posts!

    Well perhaps if there is a terror attack from an immigrant from one of the seven countries that comes into the US in the next few weeks Trump might have a case. Otherwise it is just another pinhead appeal to his moronic disciples.

    It's always about the Jews, isn't it?

    When you read the Articles in the Constitution are you claiming that Congress can't limit the case issues that the court can hear?

    states should make national security policy because they have their own military force called militias, their police forces have tanks, and military style weapons are given to them free from the taxpayer by the federal government.

    Well ISIS is celebrating Trump's Muslim ban but as far as I can tell the lefties haven't embraced Trump's stupidity. You must have special knowledge.

    Except that after his initial stupidity he said that the order would not apply to Christians from those countries you might concievably have a marginally logical position.

    The Left is flummoxed. They are second guessing themselves. Meanwhile back at the ranch a beautiful new EO is being drafted. Trump's stupidity is killing Dems.
