I am truly saddened that I have to explain this to a 61 year old woman.
There is no contradiction Ma'am!
" So, even you admit, those judges weren't worried about the Constitution at all, like they were supposed to be. It was just what they thought from stuff Trump said when campaigning. "
The original travel ban was ruled unconditional due to its ambiguous language and religious implications. Your simply reading a quote not a whole statement from the ruling. My point I was making originally was that is was unconstitional. How they found that out can be read further into the article.
It is not illegal to be Muslims in this Country.
The Constitution grants Freedom of Religion.
Based off the the original travel ban it written in a way that the reasoning behind the ban was religious not national security.
How things are written matter! Which is why the courts blocked it and the Trump Administration had to re-write a new one.
The original ban affected anybody that was in those countries even if they were American Citizens on a trip, visiting loved ones, working, etc.
The ban affected Muslims and Christians from those countries and many more.
I am not sure how you are not aware that the Trump Administration did in fact re-write the travel ban and the courts approved it the second time around yet revisions are still being made.
Also, about the List comments was due to Willie-T saying that Obama gave Trump the list of countries to ban.
I was saying it is no mistake about that any time a new president is in office all the confidential file and documents are handed over to the new administration. What I said was it is up to the Trump Administration to figure out what to do about the list of countries hence the travel ban.
(Who knows maybe some of the countries from Obama's list aren't on it or maybe they added some...we will never know because it is confidential)
You just disproved yourself. So, even you admit, those judges weren't worried about the Constitution at all, like they were supposed to be. It was just what they thought from stuff Trump said when campaigning.
I really do agree with you that Trump made a mess out of the travel ban, but did the courts fix the mess? Did they rule from law or from personal values? And should a judge, any judge, rule from personal values? (Warning. Loaded question, because I can cite bozo rulings from the court that affect you personally in a negative way.)
As for Obama giving Trump a list? As it stands now, this country is fairly consistent. We swap parties for the President every single time. Usually we give the same President two terms, (occasionally only one term), and then guaranteed the other party gets the next 4-8 years.
I'm guessing from your rhetoric that you're a Democrat. (Not a put down. I agree with this saying, "If you are not a liberal at 25, you have no heart. If you are not a Conservative at 35 you have no brain," so you're proving you have heart.) So let us assume the next President will be a liberal. (And I think Trump will be a two-termer.) Do you really think the next President should go by Trump's list too, or is this just rhetoric?
