The idea that Trump and his supporters view that as unacceptable is one of the reasons people believe he is dangerous.

And finally it happened to other Presidents as well. It happened to Obama as well: http://www.politico.com/story/2016/0...ecision-224728 He didn't go personally after the judge or even the court itself, other than saying they needed to have a full bench (there was a tie as the court is currently 8 rather than 9), but instead went after congress on immigration.
He may still do all that. Or he could go down Emergency Order to reinstate the Temporary suspension.

Still do what? I am unsure to what you're referring. The last part of my post was what Obama did when the courts stuck down one of his EO and he didn't really have the chance to do that much as the court has spoken.

Cannot really call their system when our voting system is just as dire.

have a read you might learn something
U
They did not grant any "new" visas for six months. That is a fact.

Also as that article points out they drastically reduced the amount of refugees that can in over a " year"

Trumps order is for 90 days.

I am not sure he can just reinstate it if a court has struck it down. He'll need to fight in court.

I think they'll make provisions for Green Cards and existing Visa holders because that makes it indefensible. I sort of suspect the ambiguity on it was intentional precisely to provoke a fight so he can be fighting against the liberals. The refugee ban would still have provoked a great many people but when reports of existing legal residents being detained and even sent back in some cases came out it went into overdrive.

This suits Trump after all. He is getting stopped from doing what he promised by the liberal establishment. The actual legal ramifications of it aren't so compelling a story.

he is not allowed to reinstate it ,he has to go through the appeal court and then possibly the supreme court but as yet have not filed any appeal.

Re: U.S President: Donald Trump

I think the Republicans repealing a regulation of issuing firearms to those with 'serious' mental health conditions will end up having a far bigger impact on the safety of Americans than this policy anyway. The GOP have found this issue a useful distraction IMO.

Kursk didn't mention anything about American democracy, he said the donald was acting on behalf of his supporters that made up the majority of electorate and that's just not true, it's not even an alternative fact.

l am talking not just about Trump but leaders in general in that l think generally the best time to pass judgement on how they did in office is well into the future once they have left office..

Bollocks, you don't know him, you don't know anything about him.

You have an opinion of him from what you have read from 2nd, 3rd, 4th hand from predominantly left wing media.

So you can't "as a person" and don't pretend you can.
