Maryland judge blocks travel ban 2.0


A federal judge in Greenbelt, Maryland blocked President Donald Trump’s revised travel ban targeting six predominantly Muslim countries.

Judge Theodore Chuang issued the order early Thursday, saying the ACLU and other groups were likely to prevail on their arguments that the ban was unconstitutional because it discriminates on the basis of religion. The groups argued that the underlying rationale of the ban was to discriminate against Muslims, making it unconstitutional. Chuang granted a preliminary injunction nationwide.

Government lawyers argued that the ban was substantially revised from an earlier version signed in January that was later blocked by a federal judge in Washington state. They said the ban was ordered in the interest of national security to protect the U.S. from “radical Islamic terrorism.”

American Civil Liberties Union Immigrants’ Rights Project Lee Gelernt said the revised ban is “a Muslim ban.” Gelernt said the judge’s order also is important because it will remain in place “through trial, and not just for a couple of weeks.”

The Maryland plaintiffs also argued the ban illegally reduces the number of refugees authorized to enter the U.S. this year. Chuang granted the preliminary injunction nationwide pending further orders from this court. He declined to stay the ruling should an emergency appeal be filed.

Ted Cruz: I am a Christian first and then an American.
If a muslim or a jewish person said this, there would be outrage.

I wrote my last two posts about assholes getting away with shit.
I'm rather proud of them.
I hope you are proud of your posts, too.

hate is hate no matter how you say it, but really if they keep people focus on these things they can't see what they are really doing, For those you want this hate to continue I hope you are a millionaire or billionaire, if not you better have money st aside for retirement because you will be working until you die, If hate is more important than you enjoying your golden years keep hating, because every thing they do effect all of us

Ted Cruz is one of the few people who rivals Trump in scariness...
