lulz. Trump just can't get anything of consequence done these days, even by executive fiat. But apparently there is a much better chance this one will be able to withstand constitutional muster. We'll see.

So much winning

Yup, he was right. I'm already sick of all the winning.

I think I just thew up a little in my mouth from win-induced nausea. Too much win.

Probably could've gotten away with it, if not for that big mouth of his (though he still might). Wonder boy Stephen Miller and Giuliani didn't do him any favors either.

This is why it's important for a president to have credibility. Before he said it was a Muslim ban, now he says it isn't. Says Obama was wiretapping him, now he says he didn't mean literal wiretapping.

What if there actually was good intel indicating we need to pause visits or immigration from these countries? Who's going to believe anything Trump says when he just blatantly lies all of the time? Well other than his voters, that is.

Any bets on Trump I won't say pray because I doubt he does, is hoping there is a terrorist event so he can get in front of a camera and say "I told you so"

It's a most excellent diversion from destroying various executive depts like education, energy, environment, financial regulation & more, like the ACA.

lolololol

Swing and a miss. Strike two.

Trump is doing a lot of bad stuff all at once. We can't ignore some of it just because it might be a distraction from the other things. I'm pretty sure he actually wants this ban, and he certainly didn't want to get spanked by the courts multiple times now.

Being serious I'd be surprised if it sticks plus we're entering dangerous waters where courts can undermine executive orders.

Wait, what? Courts have always been able to 'undermine' executive orders and have done so many, many times in the past.

 

[FIVR]

Don't worry, he's not a Trump supporter. Didn't you read the disclaimer?

It's fun to read the comments section of the USA Today...

So many TrumpTards AGAIN claiming all the judges who have been involved so far were all Obama appointees/liberal activists/etc when in fact up until today, it's been a 50/50 split in liberal/conservative judges ruling on this. Same people from a couple weeks ago who despite knowing the TRUTH, are again insisting that their alternative reality is factual and that the real facts.... are all Fake News. Trump, making Americans lying sacks of disingenuous shit again...

First time comments during an election were used. This will happen to the next Democrat.

Have you been asleep for the last 8 years, during which time Republicans filed lawsuit after lawsuit to undermine Obama's EO's and legislation, including but not limited to, immigration.

America wins again, despite Trump.

So getting revenge makes taking away Presidential powers correct?

Why is this Canuck more familiar with how your government works than you do?

 

[brycejones]

The next tweet storm should be entertaining

It appears that it will go thru the courts, we'll see.

 

[cytg111]

Too bad we dont get to see it on camera, when the news hits him, for the second time..Hot Damn! They may have to put him in artifical coma to save his life from all the winning blood preassure...

What powers were taken away? He can still write as many EO's today as he could last week? And... just like last week, those EO's are not carte blanche to run roughshod over the Constitution...

US Constitution, Article 1, Section 8:

The Congress shall have Power...To establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization

Which presidential power is being taken away here? Not to even mention the uniform part of the statement.
