getting blocked. but the courts were unmoved from a hawaii judge s ruling in march, quote, by the government s reading the kpektd could not have been religiously motivated because it only represent a fraction of the world s muslim majority nations. the notion that one can demonstrate animus toward any group of people only by targeting all of them at once is fundamentally flawed. it is a discriminatory purpose that matters no matter how inefficient the execution. ouch. the trump administration has stuck with it. homeland security said it s not a travel ban. it s a travel pause. in the not just a pr move. the judges who blocked the ban have all said the context matters, that all things donald trump and his campaign and this
this is not just a pr move by the trump administration. the judges who blocked the ban have all said the context matters, that all things donald trump and his campaign and this administration have said from his call for a total and complete shutdown of muslims entering the united states on down, all those statements made it clear the executive order really is a muslim ban. and so to have a credible case in court, the administration las to change that context. they have to show that they didn t intend for it to be a ban. it may be a little too late. but they were doing it. they were staying more or less on message for the last couple months, until now. here was donald trump, president, on twitter this morning, quote, people and the lawyers and the courts can call it whatever they want. but i m calling it what we need and what it is, a travel ban. and then, the justice department should have stayed with the original travel ban, not the watered down politically correct version they submit
insisting he not testify. it s something done through collaboration and discussion. he has absolutely no authority without short of going to court to force comey to comply with his desire to invoke executive privilege. if comey doesn t want to, he doesn t have to he s not bound by any kind of contractual relationship is that because he s a private citizen now? that s the only leverage you have. you can remove somebody from their job if the president didn t want them to testify. but let s just say my own situation, when i testified and nixon didn t want me testifying, he never threatened me with executive privilege because there was no way to enforce it. so i don t really know what all this talk about invoking executive privilege is about. it sounds like a pr move to me where trump is going to he has nothing to invoke but is going to say, well, i won t invoke it. now let him go ahead and testify because i m not afraid of what he s going to say.
rhetoric. they are the adults in the room. this is not about trying to make themselves look good. this is not a pr move by the administration. this is actual policy being carried out to protect the united states of america. and they understand the stakes. and to try and get ahead of themselves on this is the great stuff that we did, gives us the ability for us to do that in the future. i ll just say restraint is good in these areas. use not want to be braggadocio s with these situations. i think the president is not as much an adult in the room as his advisers puerile important are the actions so far i am really concerned of all of the serious situations presented and i hope he continues to listen to them and not be impulsive. i think in terms of the important issues when it comes to syria he clearly listened to them. it was by any means a proportional response shall we say, much less than some people
