What type of relationship did Holder and Obama have? Did Holder hold Obama accountable and stand up to him when he didn't feel comfortable about the legality of something Obama was pushing?

Exactly, never have I seen a more corrupt, shock collar obedient AG than Holder with Obama

Please, I would love to hear your legal analysis on how this is unconstitutional.

It's not a 1st amendment issue.

It's not a religious test issue.

If anything, it's a statutory issue.

8 U.S.C. 1182(f) gives him the statutory authority to do this.

The only "argument" you can make is that 8 U.S.C. 1182(f) was amended by the more recent 8 U.S.C. 1152(a)(1)(A).

Even if that is the case (it's not), you'd basically need a written admission from Trump that he is excluding citizens of these seven countries based on nationality and not out of concerns for national security. Do you think Trump has it out for these 7 specific countries? Or is it more likely that they were determined by the previous administration to be terror risks?

Hell, 8 U.S.C. 1152(a)(1)(A) says nothing about discriminating based on religion, so I know that's not your argument.

If Trump was so concerned about national security, why was a country like Saudi Arabia (where like 15 of the 19 9/11 high jackers were from) not included in the ban?

STRIKE 1 - NOT A LEGAL ARGUMENT

What you have done instead is to suggest a motive you cannot objectively prove.

STRIKE 2 - DUMB

Really? Saudi Arabia is not on the list because we do major business with them and they feed us more actionable intelligence than any other middle eastern country besides Israel. No one likes the Saudis, but it's obvious why they are not on the list. I note that Obama tried to veto a bill that allowed 9/11 families to sue them. Why is that?

You misunderstood. In your HOME. I'm sure there are a couple of 18-35 year old male refugees that can sleep on your couch or air mattress. Let them into your home. Foot the bill for their food and clothes. You do that and then get back to us on here.


Who is proposing that we resettle refugees in your actual home?

Even if it were deemed illegal based on religion, that's not what this is and it can't be proven that's what this is. Giuliani has no role in the admin and anything he says is just hearsay anyway. Anything said during the campaign has no standing currently.




What I take from this is you saying yes, it's a muslim ban but you can't prove it because Trump found a way to achieve the ban without having to declare it

No, but if it is, so what?

Note: If it is a muslim ban, it's the shittiest muslim ban in history. Like 8 percent of world muslims are banned.

How would you have felt if a DoJ employee refused to go along with all of Obama's EOs that have been overturned?

If she felt it was illegal she should have resigned.
She wanted her attention, and now it's off to a cushy job on K St or Planned Parenthood.

Apparently that doesn't matter anymore. Sean Spicer just said agreed A line has been drawn and that if someone does not agree or carry out the president's orders or agenda he or she will be relieved of their duties.

Good. What do you think should happen? These people are EMPLOYEES of the executive branch. They serve at the pleasure of the president. There is no gray area.

For the sake of argument, let's pretend this 90 day "ban" is intended to be aimed solely at Muslims. Explain to me how that is illegal.

It's true, and grounds to argue the entire thing is based on religion. As the ACLU is doing. Helps to have Trump's own words argue he was going to implement a Muslim ban upon entering office.
