Having visited a dairy farm in the states, I'm trying to get a mental image of just how this all works. Heads in squeeze chutes, feed in the trough, diligent attendants buttering treats and attaching milkers.

"Your nomination is part of a Republican strategy to capture our judicial branch of government," Senator Dick Durbin told Gorsuch.
Now you have it. The GOP has been carefully and methodically working and conspiring for the last 20 years to take over every branch of the government.

Anti-immigrant bigots just keep on trying to feed us alternative facts and straight out lies.
Public finance does not work they way your fevered imagination believes. What monies and how much are being diverted? From what programs specifically? What is the correlation between healthcare funding and immigration?
We are supposed to treat these nonsense claims seriously? It is a verifiable fact that all studies on the issue conclude that immigration provides an economic net benefit to the host country. All of them. All the superficial, economically illiterate and fact free rants about immigrants taking away other people's benefits are voided by the simple and clearly established fact that immigration benefits the host country.
There were 11.1 million unauthorized immigrants in the U.S. in 2014, a total unchanged from 2009
http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2016/11/03/5-facts-about-illegal-immigration-in-the-u-s/
How did that become 20 million? Or is it ok to just make stuff up to spread you nonsense?
"The Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), a conservative advocacy group that favors tighter immigration laws, argues that the answer is clear: illegal aliens cost U.S. taxpayers more than $100 billion each year."

or is ABC a biased media group in your opinion?

If it's legal, and he has the support, then fine! Luckily, it's not legal.
So, now it's Legal for the dems but Not Legal for the GOP???

In the article floor plans were mentioned as an example of sensitive information. The connection with wiretapping exists only in YOUR mind.

you DO understand that "floor plans" include every aspect of the building including telecommunications room, wifi set up, servers, etc.

Everybody is biased. Everybody. Nothing you can do about that other than have checks and balances in place. Which is what we have. Luckily.
Be nice.
Well then, President Trump has every right to dump those judges and appoint his own. Same checks and balances, different bank.
-
So, the CIA DOES have "sensitive information about Trump Tower" in their possession (or should I say "Had") while telling all the MSM there is no evidence of ANY sort of ANY investigation and Trump saying his building was "tapped" has no merit.
These are the same CIA who hired the civilian contractor that gave 1000s of files to wikileaks AND hired and trained the Russian hackers that stole all that info from Yahoo. Keep up the good work boys, we feel much safer with you at our backs.

That's exactly what we don't need. Checks and balances are perfect otherwise we'll end up like China or Russia. Not a good place to be. Unless you are Trump and his inner circle.
So, you're saying that it was perfectly fine for the dems to appoint dems while they were in charge but NOT ok for the GOP to appoint republicans while they're in charge? Did your aunt Hillary teach you that?
Judges are supposed to be nonpartisan and apolitical but that just doesn't seem to be the case since losing control.
-
What I see but doesn't ever get mentioned is the fact that only blue states with dem appointed judges are causing all the problems with the E.O. Trump needs to replace these guys with his own appointments and be done with it.

It's about time we acknowledged the threat and stopped giving our military spitballs and velvet gloves to take into a gunfight. Wise up folks, these terrorists aren't going to just change their minds and go home.

Perhaps. But they are still rules and should be obeyed. If you don't like the rule, then change it. Don't break it. This person is in charge of creating and upholding the laws of the US. Not violating them.
I just want to thank you for clearing my total misconception that it was Congress and the Senate that make laws and the DOJ/Supreme Court that upholds them. Must be cool to be the White Press Secretary wielding so much power all by himself.

You're complaining about about irrelevant posts? This topic is not about illegal immigrants. It's about the legality of an executive order.
The legality of the executive order covering ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS? You must be a barber by trade the way you like to split hairs.

By the time I got to the end of the posts, I had to go back and reread the OP. Didn't see the health care bill mentioned anywhere.
Mods, what happened to the "Off Topic Posts Removed" rule?
On 3/10/2017 at 6:18 AM, webfact said:The first hurdle for the lawsuits will be proving "standing," which means finding someone who has been harmed by the policy. With so many exemptions, legal experts have said it might be hard to find individuals who would have a right to sue, in the eyes of a court.
This pretty much sums up where the new law suits are going to run into roadblocks. Trying to find a willing, Illegal Immigrant to stand up and say; "Yes, I'm breaking the immigration laws that are ALREADY in place and now wish to thumb my nose at the whole of America by claiming that the enforcement of YOUR countries laws are harmful to ME by making it increasingly difficult to KEEP VIOLATING your laws."
Rock On Dems.

That's made me laugh. The country was populated with them during two hundred years of no holds barred immigration. Now you, whose Great Great Grandfather was probably one of those you so politely describe says you don't want anymore. How funny. I would take a different tack now, I would make it law that anyone wishing to emigrate to the US must have a psychological assessment as part of their visa program. At that point you can reject them all for being insane as clearly they must be for wanting to reside in such a screwed up country. The American dream is now just that - a dream, one of those dreams that you kind of remember a little about from last night but 99% of the detail is lost. I cannot for the life of me understand why anyone would want to emigrate to the US when there are so many more glorious countries around the world.
Times are changing and laws about miscreants must change also. During "Them 200 of no holds barred immigration", any and all who were deemed unfit to reside in an agreeable society were hanged or shot. Now they're just being deported but hey, we could go back to the hanging and shooting. Sure would save on transportation cost and pollution.

So, is the wall still necessary? The last time fortunes were spent on a border wall was probably the Maginot line, which France built along its border with Germany.
It was impregnable, but the Germans simply drove round it, entering France through Belgium, which left that wall being a total waste of money.
Why sure, that makes PERFECT sense in this case. I'd say, anybody that can drive around the wall should be given a nice paying job at an inventive think tank group. Take a moment and let that sink in as you rethink exactly where the eastern edge of Texas is and the western edge of California is.

I question the ability of anyone aged 18 to understand about social organisation, which is what the government is trying to protect.
Having said that, Singapore is a nation of automata. He will be better off out of it.
Stay home or not, I don't care but why the US? We don't need or want any more toss-offs from other countries or hasn't that point been made abundantly clear yet? The boy hates religion so, he wants to come to the states? Good call.

I'm really NOT surprised that Obamaland would be where the next challenge came from.
What I AM surprised at is just how many posters seem to think that the revised travel ban is directly aimed at Hawaii.

A new poll shows a surprisingly big public swing against Trump’s travel ban
"A new Quinnipiac poll finds — as other polls have — that majorities oppose all of President Trump’s recent immigration moves. Americans oppose the ban on travel from select Muslim-majority nations by 51-46; they oppose the ban on refugees from all nations by 60-37; and they oppose the ban on Syrian refugees in particular by 70-26."
"But here’s perhaps the most striking data point of all: There has been a 12 point net swing against the general idea of the travel ban in the last month."
"By the way, the new Quinnipiac poll also finds:
— Only 40 percent of Americans think Trump’s policies will make the country safer from terrorism, versus 41 percent who say
they will make us less safe and 16 percent who say they will make no difference, a total of 57 percent who don’t accept the story Trump is telling."
Poll: Trump Should Have Scrapped Travel Ban
Just 38 percent of the public was in favor of the president issuing a new executive order revising a ban on travelers from Muslim-majority nations.
"Ahead of the rollout of President Donald Trump's new executive order banning people from certain majority-Muslim countries from traveling to the U.S., half of Americans said he should have moved on after courts blocked his original effort, and a similar percentage said the initial ban was a bad idea in the first place."
Poll: 46 percent of Americans disapprove of Trump's job performance
"A plurality of Americans, 46 percent, disapprove of President Donald Trump’s job performance six weeks after his inauguration, while 43 percent approve of it, according to a new poll."
"The survey also touched on several policy issues, including Trump’s original temporary ban on immigration and travel from seven predominantly Muslim countries. Forty-nine percent of those surveyed by Monmouth said the ban was a bad idea, while 39 percent described it as a good idea."

Polls?
You go right ahead and enjoy your renewed faith in those same polls that predicted HRC would be POTUS.

Sessions declined to comment when the advocates urged him to advise President Donald Trump against creating a voter fraud task force, said Sherrilyn Ifill, president of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund.
Voter Fraud is a federal matter and is something that should be investigated. Surprisingly, it was The Washington Post that wrote the article about Illegal Immigrants/Non-US Citizens that were listed on the Voter Registration in a county in VA.
On 3/8/2017 at 6:48 AM, webfact said:The civil rights leaders said they also expressed disappointment with the Justice Department's recent decisions to reverse Obama administration efforts to challenge a Texas voter identification law and allow transgender students to use the bathroom of their choice.
Gee, I guess since the NAACP said there's little to no illegals voting then we should all just bow down and say "Thank-you" for clearing that up instead forcing the poor citizens of the US to actually show ID before being allowed to vote.
I really don't think it's a high National Security Issue where someone pees. Nobody complained when handicapped bathrooms were installed so why force 98% of the students/citizens to suck it up and allow the confused 2% to shove their "rights" down everybody else's throat.
As for Garner:
At 350 pounds, Garner suffered from “a number of health problems, including heart disease, severe asthma, diabetes, obesity, and sleep apnea.”
Also, Garner did not die at the scene, a common misconception among those discussing the case on social media. Instead he “suffered cardiac arrest in the ambulance taking him to the hospital and was pronounced dead about an hour later.
Garner, 43, had history of more than 30 arrests dating back to 1980, on charges including assault and grand larceny. At the time of Garner’s death, he was “out on bail after being charged with illegally selling cigarettes, driving without a license, marijuana possession, and false impersonation.
Yep, there's the kind of fine, upstanding citizen I want my tax dollars to go to protect.

"Mr. Rosenstein should commit to naming a special prosecutor to look into the Trump campaign’s ties to Russia," said Democratic Senator Chuck Schumer in a statement."
So, he can have the job as long as he doesn't DO the job. A very "DEMocratic" position.

Gosh, when you actually look into the story instead of believing pretty much anything coming out of NYC, you find it was Ivanka that brokered the deal and Donald that canceled it later on when he found out that the "Partners" were a lobbying group established during the Clinton/Obama years to promote Muslim interests with the US government.

Miami went to hell in a handbasket like a bad April Fool's joke in 1980. That's why we had "Little Marco" tossing his hat in the ring for POTUS and now, soundly beaten, making trouble back in DC.

I'm continually amazed at just how many people are so willing to hand over everything they ever had or ever would have had just because Obama and the bleeding heart dems blew kisses at you.
It's about time we stood up and said enough! Oh wait, we did when we sent the crooked Clintons packing and voted in someone with Americans in mind 1st and always.

Let's see, they don't have the e-mails, the e-mail contacts list was hacked by an unknown scammer asking for money without any way to receive it or would have been arrested (NOT) and the great state of Indiana has become the new temporary home of classified Homeland Security Issues.
Nope. No fake news here.
You guys really should find something else to occupy your time OUT OF POWER for the next 8 years. We have enough conspiracy theories at the moment.
