Discussion: NBC: Trump Administration Rewriting Immigration Executive Order

This time around - are they going to work with the various agencies involved in immigration and security?

Tell me “yes” - I’d like a happy surprise from the Trump administration.

" White House lawyers were working on language for a new order that would pass muster with federal courts."

Give five-to-one that they’re too inept to manage that. Unless they just dump the whole thing in the wastebasket.

Imagine that-trying to write an order that can stand up in court. Such a novel idea. I’m so glad he hires the BEST people, the BEST.

Someone saw “Better call Saul” on a park bench and got an idea to switch from the lawyers that lose.

Oh Donnie Dearest Leader now plans to extend the “Wall-O-Trump” around the entire continental US. Problem solved.

It will be like a high school student trying not to get caught plagiarizing a source: they’ll have a thesaurus and look up multi-syllabic synonyms for verbs and nouns in the original order.
It will only get worse.

So, they still don’t know what sort of vetting we do already…

An examination of the new EO will reveal if Donnie and team have learned their elementary civics lessons, or if they are recalcitrant (and stupid).

I wonder if this leak is just a way to get DJT in the loop as to where the adults in the White House are going with this?

Of course, now that he sees that the leak is coming from the number one enemy network NBC… He will probably shut down the replacement and go with plan A. As must be obvious to most of the world by now, he would rather look stupid than look weak and pulling and revising the original Miller ban would look weak. (in his eyes)

I think Bannon wrote it, not lawyers.

Point taken, the original EO was as sloppy as Bannon’s waistline.

The well may be poisoned here though. Since it’s been alleged without contradiction (legal contradiction at least) that the original ban was intended to be for Muslims, one hopes all future attempts to ban will be greeted by the courts with the same suspicion.

Someone should ask Spicer if Trump feels the original EO was well founded and would pass muster before SCOTUS why is it being rewritten?

Hope they involve “spokesman” Giuliani who admitted on TV the ban was a Muslim ban in disguise.

They can rewrite it any way they want, Trump will still get sued and blocked by the courts, and that’s only for being an @sshole, which in itself is not a crime, but still .

Yet according to Acosta, HO said at the Abe meet that they will continue through the courts.

I’m not sure his ego can stand the fact the original EO was terrible, no good, horrible and plain wrong.

Maybe they’re just going to issue a new EO every few days, so that by the time the previous one is stayed the next one is ready to go.

Trump on Friday morning called the decision “disgraceful.”

If anyone knows “disgraceful” it is a Drumpf.
