Feinstein to introduce two bills in response to Trump's ban

Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) will introduce two bills on Monday in response to President Donald Trump’s recent executive action that imposes a temporary travel ban on nationals from seven Muslim-majority countries.

“The first bill immediately rescinds the order. The second limits executive authority under the Immigration and Nationality Act,” the Judiciary Committee ranking member wrote on Twitter Sunday.

Trump on Friday signed an executive order calling for a 90-day ban on nationals from seven predominantly Muslim countries entering the United States. The order also includes a 120-day halt on admitting refugees and an indefinite pause on admitting refugees from Syria.

If only she would put this much effort into the times we get attacked and slaughtered. Did she try this hard when 49 died in Orlando? What did she do about the slaughter in San Bernadino when 14 were killed.

They get upset more when someone tries to protect us than when sharia kills us here.

I bet she hasn’t even read the legislation “she introduced” beyond a single bullet point chart.

Why do these Clymers have such a hard-on to bring Syrians to small town America?

REAL story today is Iran testing a long-range missile today. That’s an actual threat.

This is just posturing b.s. that’ll go nowhere. Waste of paper.

57% percent (new poll out) support Trump’s EO on the terrorist ban.

Libs are going further to the left and more away from the American people.

I’m old enough to remember when it was the *House* that initiated legislation.

Okay, so she submits a bill that president Trump must sign OR she needs a 2/3 majority in both Houses (after his veto), that will stop his “ban” and limit his power under 8USC 1182(f).

This helps who? By the time this gets passed, the “ban” will be over.

Just more Grandstanding and empty words from powerless has been’s who haven’t smelled the coffee yet.

How in the world can the Dems get things voted on and the Republicans can’t when they are the majority party? They can’t even get cabinet members voted on. If Mitch allows this vote to go forward that would be quite a shame and a shock. It should absolutely not get a vote. Can the Republicans be THIS bad at their jobs? We need a Trump like figure in the Senate AND the White House to make the government work.

From the article: "Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) on Sunday said Democrats may be able to pass legislation overturning the ban if enough Republicans are on board."

[omitted from the article] Chuckles went on to also state that "if my aunt had balls, she'd be my uncle".

If this passes, it will be interesting to see who she blames when one of the "refugees" allowed into the country blows something up and/or kills American citizens as a result.

Of course, then it will still be the President's fault.

Yeah, that'll pass

So. According to Daily Caller, the one Quebec mosque shooter is named “Muhammad”. Who knew? I had not found this reported on FR.

Have not heard who the other shooter is affiliated with. Hmmm.

D.O.A.

It may stand a chance of a tie vote in the Senate, no chance at all in the House, and it would face a certain veto when it came to the Presidents desk anyway.

Should be a slam-dunk since Democrats control both bouses of congress ... oh, wait ... they don’t.

She is probably getting her orders from headquarters if you know what I mean. This madness has to stop. President Trump’s declaration of God’s major involvement in the everyday governance and affairs of America has literally stirred up satan and his demons. They are in a frenzy and they know their days are numbered. Give God the Glory and be ready everyone. http://thereishopeinJesus.com

The House is the sole originator of tax and budget bills. All others can originate in either house............
