This is an embarrassment.
Even if you completely agree with what the order does, it's impossible to claim that the implementation of this was anything other than a complete and utter disaster. No warning, no clear way to enforce the order, widespread protest, and getting the courts involved within 24 hours.
This is going to have ramifications for years to come. We want to encourage the world's best and brightest to come here, and a precedent of unannounced, widespread, severe changes to enforcement of the laws will cause people to reconsider.
This is utter negligence and I'm ashamed of my country.
- waqf 10y agoYes, a big question I have is whether Mr. Trump will learn to draft his executive orders a little more carefully. If he doesn't, then needless crises like this will be a regular occurrence. And if they are, then I don't think the country will endure that for four years without someone eventually taking it into their head to stop him one way or another.
- heifetz 10y agoI doubt trump actually drafts anything. His alt-right neo-nazi minions Bannon will draft it up, and he'll just sign it. I doubt he actually even reads what he signs. He's too busy looking at himself on tv and twittering.
- village-idiot 10y agoI sure hope he doesn't learn. I can deal with a Trump who can't clear basic legal bars and gets his orders shot down in 24 hours.
