Fun Fact People from Other Countries Arent Entitled to America's Constitutional Protections

Seriously this is something I learned in Criminal Justice while I was in High School. And further hammered in when I was in College.

Watson declared that “a reasonable, objective observer — enlightened by the specific historical context, contemporaneous public statements, and specific sequence of events leading to its issuance — would conclude that the Executive Order was issued with a purpose to disfavor a particular religion.”

And even if it was issued with a purpose to disfavor a particular religion they are not citizens of this country and therefore don't get the same rights as you or me.

“The illogic of the Government’s contentions is palpable,” Watson wrote. “The notion that one can demonstrate animus toward any group of people only by targeting all of them at once is fundamentally flawed.”

Meanwhile Obama demonstrated animus toward Iraqi refugees in 2011 and not a peep of protest.

“These statements, which include explicit, direct statements of President Trump’s animus toward Muslims and intention to impose a ban on Muslims entering the United States, present a convincing case that the First Executive Order was issued to accomplish, as nearly as possible, President Trump’s promised Muslim ban,” Chuang wrote.

Ya sorry but that was Candidate Trump. So stop living in the past.

At a rally in Nashville on Wednesday, Trump called the Hawaii court ruling “terrible” and asked a cheering crowd whether the ruling was “done by a judge for political reasons.” He said the administration would fight the case “as far as it needs to go,” including up to the Supreme Court, and rued that he had been persuaded to sign a “watered-down version” of his first travel ban.

Of course it was Political. Obama's Home State.

“Let me tell you something, I think we ought to go back to the first one and go all the way,” Trump said. “The danger is clear, the law is clear, the need for my executive order is clear.”

Amen President Trump.

Watson’s decision came in response to a lawsuit filed by Hawaii. Lawyers for the state alleged that the new entry ban, much like the old, violated the establishment clause of the First Amendment because it was essentially a Muslim ban, hurt the ability of state businesses and universities to recruit top talent, and damaged the state’s robust tourism industry.

Do you see Saudi Arabia anywhere on the list? So it is essentially not a Muslim Ban. Also I highly doubt there is any "top talent" in those War torn countries that would affect the ability of state businesses to hire. Plenty of talent to choose from American Colleges. I mean that statement is just laughable and sad.

If the ban were announced with a one week notice, the "bad" would rush into our country during that week. A lot of bad "dudes" out there!

why would he call it a ban if it is not?

This is what these boards have turned into, a bunch of political trolls grandstanding and looking for pats on the back.

Your OP has no substance as with most of your other OP's. You quote other people and add one liners to them and call it a thread.

Thanks for actively ruining the quality of these boards.

Yes, we want all the terrorists to come into our homes and hold us hostage and brutally kill us. You guessed it, we're terrorist lovers!

That's what you want to hear and that's what you seem to believe so I thought I'd grant your wish. Still doesn't make it true though, but keep insinuating it, maybe it will come true someday.

Ah, you noticed that too?.

I thought it was maybe just me becoming senile in my old age.

Sounds good to me!

I'm still waiting for ANY leftist to explain to me how importing even one non-citizen Muslim into the United States makes Americans safer.

I'd like to hear other perspectives but the Founding Fathers were simply trying to guarantee and protect rights which are inherent to every person: speech, religion, self-protection etc.

No rights come from the Constitution or government.

They come from "God" or if you dont believe in "God" (which would include me), these rights are naturally occurring.

Taken in this context, this judge is saying that everyone on the planet has "inalienable" rights and it was the intent of the Founders to try and protect these rights.

We cant control what occurs elsewhere, but we can ensure that we're acknowledging (and trying to uphold) these rights so much as its in our power to do so.

It is settled Constitutional law that non-citizens that are in the United States are in fact entitled to some of the same rights as citizens.

I know, that doesn't change the fact that your OP has no substance though.

thats exactly what he wants to hear.
dude starts the same threads every day with the same idiotic arguments(like a 40's president)
instead of answering direct questions he deflects and then assumes # about other members...

not agreeing with the ban does not mean i/we/anyone wants to freely let terrorist in the country

i really think he understands it but is collecting stars

I expect there will be multiple threads with internet lawyers and their google degrees telling everyone that the judicial branch can't do what they are doing. So I will get some popcorn.

I know that the OP was about President Trump's travel ban, but you made a larger point that often gets lost in the chatter.

Foreign nationals do not have Constitutional Rights.

Can you imagine the disaster that would ensue if one morning 750 million Chinese woke up and found out they had the full rights and protections -- INCLUDING THE RIGHT OF ENTRY, of the US Constitution?

The Left has been trying to forward this destructive lie for decades. Thankfully, the majority of Americans aren't that dumb.
