No surprise there especially Sotomayer. Liberal women are the worst, IMO.

This is so simple that I don't know why anyone would use the argument about American mass murderers as an excuse not to stop foreign ones.


There is no irrational fear about those from known terrorist countries. It's common sense to protect ourselves from them. We have had several incidents on our soil to prove it.

I addressed this earlier. They do not have a stable government.

It's not a Muslim ban, end of story. You people are uneducated.. there is tons of Muslims in Asia none of those countries are on the list.

The issue is which countries have uncontrolled pockets of extremist Shiites. Saudia Arabia doesn't really have that.

SA is the biggest and strongest bastion of Sunni's.

So the 9/11 terrorists weren't Saudi? Were any of them from the countries that are banned?

If we are going to get serious about banning people from "terrorist countries', more countries need to be on that list.

SA has been totally different since 9-11. That doesn't mean SA is a terrorist country.

They are the strongest country of Sunni's in the middle east the U.S. needs them as an ally. They spend a lot on their military.

Sure it doesn't, it never does when you get proven wrong.


Stop watching CNN and reading the NY Times.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Supreme Court’s conservative majority appeared poised to hand President Donald Trump a huge legal victory, signaling on Wednesday it was likely to uphold his contentious travel ban targeting several Muslim-majority countries.
