Re: Rethinking the 1st & 2nd Ammendments
Then we all lose.
Courts rule; some people don't like the decision. Happens with both Muslim and Gun bans. Time to cut a deal. You get your Muslim ban; they get their gun ban.Appeal to authority. Regardless though, the courts decision was not based on what was in the EO. Even the lawyer arguing against the EO in court admitted that if someone else had issued the EO then it could be Constitutional. The fact that the decision was not based on what was in the EO, that what was in the EO was ignored, shows that this is judicial activism.
I get why people want to consider this EO a ban on Muslims. But the EO itself banned everyone from those countries equally. No matter their religion. Additional fact is that Muslims from any other part of the world could still come to the US further shows that the EO was not a ban on Muslims entering the country. Which if you're going to parse words all of them would have had to be banned also if we were to go by what Trump said on the campaign trail. That did not happen.
