The "it's not really a Muslim ban" Muslim ban

[LittleFuzzy]

I confess I'm having a hard time coming to terms with a blatant violation of due process going entirely unpunished but no doubt the world is just as shitty as you say it is.

You don't punish the rank and file when there's a dispute between branches, Minx, I'm sorry you think that means the world is a shitty place. You know that the government CAN hold someone for 24 hours, even if they're represented by counsel right?

Trump (and he people who wrote this decrete) were incredibly stupid with the way they implemented this policy. What they could have done, without hardly any change of a successfull legal challenge would have been to instruct the embassies in the countries involved to stop issuing all visas pending a change in the vetting of applicants. It would have made it impossible to challenge the policy in the courts.

I'm wondering if it was deliberate. Bannon is a major figure and LOVES yellow journalism.

That would be a bit absurd and I don't think that's correct.

It's correct but. . . not quite complete. Authorities above the organization can waive it on behalf of the lower offices, and in this respect Congress is the highest authority. Bear in mind, this subtopic is about suing for damages. Injunctive relief is different.
