And Obama restricted travel from the same countries. How come nobody sued and asked the court to look at his motives? This is a way to hamstring the executive in fulfilling its national security role!

It isn’t the governor’s business why the President does anything. He needs to sit down and shut up.

Its all about continuing the narrative regardless of its veracity. If the POTUS wants to halt anyone due to a potential threat he has the duty to do so.

Congress is being dyrylic in its duties

Congress is hanging Trump out to dry, in the hopes that they will be rid of him soon.

It is not up to the court to probe a president’s intentions. Even this article admits it would be an expansion of judiciary actions. These judges need to be reigned in! They are not above congress and executive branches.

Amazing how the Supreme Court can declare a tenet of Christianity - that homosexual sex is a sin - to be immoral and order that Christians must participate in homosexual same-sex weddings, and yet any desire to protect people from a religious ideology the tenets of which include killing people who become apostate, punishing those who ‘blaspheme’ their claimed prophet and subjugating unbelievers, is ruled a thought-crime.

Another Orwellian concept comes to pass. The Thought Police.

"Attorney general, not governor. Sorry."

No need. The governor and the AG are in lockstep on the issue.

No sir, Mr. Wiseprince. Congress is not being derelict. Congress is being worse that that. Congress is intentionally complicit in the destruction of the United States of America. The members of Congress know exactly what they are doing, and why they are doing it. They are sabotaging President Trump in every way they can. And by sabotaging President Trump, they are blocking and preventing the Patriots from restoring Constitutional Government. They are well aware of what they are doing. The are well aware of who they are[One World Globalists]. They are aware of us and what we are attempting[Restore Constitutional Government]. Never forget this.

The maggots on the courts are investigators and probers now? I think they should stick to probing little boys. Sorry “court” boys. His “intent” is to keep Muzzies from murdering Americans.

Whenever the President finds [his reasoning can not be called in question - it is his decision] that the entry [he can’t remove those already here] of any aliens or of any class of aliens [that INCLUDES Green Card holders - they are still aliens] into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States [he must simply be of the opinion that the continued entrance of the aliens is in some way harmful], he may by proclamation [he has the power to simply declare], and for such period as he shall deem necessary [for as long as he wants], suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants [again, only those not already here but include Green Card holders], or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate [another absolute. it is his decision to make and there is no room for any questioning of it].

I continue to fail to understand why he did not simply ignore the court - they have no power to review and no one has standing to bring a case.

Intent is not a judiciary negotiable point demonstrated in the actual law. NOT ANYWHERE. It’s not a negotiable point even for congress since the law FROM CONGRESS delegates 100% of this decision to the President,

The judges ask the question to establish the IMAGERY of an “I gotcha!” They know the lawyers and the executive branch cannot disclose classified information. When the lawyers refuse to answer the question of threat level or intent on that basis, the judges pronounce “see, I told you so that it was for racist purposes!” The judges should know they have no business asking that question as it is not a factor in the law’s text.

Since George Washington first invoked the doctrine of executive privilege, people have been trying to get around it. Has never happened and not likely to happen this time.

Bullsh*t. Those libs in WA state have already decided what they’re going to claim as to Trump’s “intent.” They’re not fooling anyone with actual operating brain cells.
