Donald Trumps National Security Adviser, Michael Flynn, has resigned over his contacts with russia. Telephone intercept is show that Michael Flynn, mr Trumps National Security Adviser, had discussed us sanctions with the russian envoy before mr trump took office. Its illegal for private citizens to conduct us diplomacy, and the phone calls happened late last year before mr flynn was appointed to the administration. Before being appointed, he was known for his close ties with the senior russian officials. Here he is sat with President Putin at a dinner in 2015. Hes also been accused of misleading the
can reswview what the presidents did, they rubber stamp his actions despite the clear evidence. the court closes its eyes to all the statents the president made and the court parts ways with what every one else in the country and around the world knows based on president trump s statements that he enacted all tlee three versions of is ban in order to carry out his promise to ban muslims from coming into the country. i just try to understand here. the court is looking at this. if i m understanding the argument here in the decision correctly. they are saying it s about 8% of the world s muslim pop yulation this applies to. it would look different from what he s saying. they re saying the underlying power being exercised and what makes this complicated is the underlying power to deny entry is a legitimate power that any president could claim and the debate becomes about is he
what he s doing has no impact on the decision at all. that is a very broad, broad reading of the powers that the president has to do whatever the heck he wants under the rubric of national security. look at the totality of the comments and the statements that can lead one to conclude that the real desire was for a muslim ban which should be unconstitutional as based on religion. in the argument you re making, the idea of he said this on the campaign trail. let s match this up with the action he tried to take as president and see if we can see clearly what the true motivation is. is there any kind of slippery slope potential in that sort of thing. on a different issue, not net y necessarily immigration. you try to match up what a presidential candidate says on
predominantly muslim countries. he s banned over 100 million people of coming into the country. upwards of 95% of those people are muslim. we saw an interesting thing happen during the argument. justin kagaen pointed out that if the president of the united states announces i want to ban jews from coming into the united states and it s nationality base ban on people from israel, that ban would not ban all jews from coming into the united states and ban israeli who is are not jewish. when you look at what the president said and bringing it back to what happened here with the muslim ban, the president started before he was elected and continued consistently after he was elected right up through version, one, two and three of the ban to denigrate islam, a
could end up? do you think the supreme court has given this president or any president the power to do something similar with muslims? that s my fear. the court said under the immigration and nationality act that you can do whatever you want just so long as you deem it to be in the interest of national security and you don t have overt things like this is a muslim ban. he was so overt about it during the campaign and he wanted to prevent muslims from coming to the country. the court said we re not going to consider that. the dissent by just sotomayor said this is very much like the decision where the government came in and the president justified his actions saying this is for national security. i think it s quite reminiscent. i say who s next? is he going to ban mexicans?
