Politics The ACLU took Trump to court over his Muslim refugee and immigrant ban — and won

Because the judicial orders only applied to part of the EO.

 

He has no AG. Hard to complain he didn't pass it by his AG when he doesn't have an AG, no?

His nominee hasn't been voted on yet.

He has to govern. This is one of his campaign promises.

I said I don't approve of this part of his agenda. The economic plans are a refreshing change, though.

In his defense:

The woman passed whatever vetting we had in place.

 

One week is blocking.

Obama's picks were voted on the day he took office.

Indeed, given the terrible recent track record of completed and attempted terror attacks by Muslim immigrants, it’s clear that our current approach is inadequate to control the threat. Unless we want to simply accept Muslim immigrant terror as a fact of American life, a short-term ban on entry from problematic countries combined with a systematic review of our security procedures is both reasonable and prudent.

However, there are reports that the ban is being applied even to green-card holders. This is madness. The plain language of the order doesn’t apply to legal permanent residents of the U.S., and green-card holders have been through round after round of vetting and security checks. The administration should intervene, immediately, to stop misapplication. If, however, the Trump administration continues to apply the order to legal permanent residents, it should indeed be condemned.

Democrats delay vote on Sessions nomination

 

Trump nominated Rod Rosenstein to be Deputy AG on Jan 13. He's not been voted on either.

So what Deputy are you talking about?

 

Obama appointee.

Not Trump's pick for the full time job.

 

Speaking of Sessions:

Dated January 10.

Though he said he would prosecute immigrants who repeatedly enter the country illegally and criticized as constitutionally "questionable" an executive action by President Barack Obama that shielded certain immigrants from deportation, he said he did "not support the idea that Muslims, as a religious group, should be denied admission to the United States."

Trump earlier in his campaign called for a temporary ban on Muslims entering his country, but has more recently proposed "extreme vetting."

Sessions asserted that he could confront Trump if needed, saying an attorney general must be prepared to resign if asked to do something "unlawful or unconstitutional."
