I'm pleasantly surprised. While I generally agree with Inslee's politics, I've been disappointed with him at times. His heart is often in the right place, but he is occasionally a bit ineffectual. I'm glad to see that he, and the AG, have grown a spine.
I'm so thankful for this, Herr GropenfĂŒhrer has elevated that Vile-Boil-Bannon above our generals and national security people! If this unconstitutional, immoral ban is allowed to stand, they'll go after other groups - next up could be blacks, women, or Asians:
"Trumpâs chief strategist Steve Bannon suggests having too many Asian tech CEOs undermines âcivic societyâ."
Our state definitely has standing to sue, with how dependent our economy and higher education are on immigrants and foreign workers/researchers/students.
This administration is already ignoring Native Tribes' civil and treaty rights, suppressing civil protests, and threatening free speech and an independent press.
We really need to be careful and vigilant. It takes a lot of time, effort and sacrifice to gain freedom and civil rights, but very, very little time to lose them. Some people might not realize, but women in Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan and Pakistan used to have much more freedom and civil rights in the 1960's and early 1970's than they do now. And here in the U.S., "Land of the Free", just look at how much the GOP and their $$$ overlords has managed to strip away from workers and women in just the last 10-15 years!
It's a perfect divisive issue for the WH. Baits public opinion both ways. Tests the loyalty of DHS & CBP. Useful media coverage for Bannon's elevation to... the NSC ?!?
Watch that they next create an issue over "undocumented" people.
Also, if the rumor of an anti-LGBT order is also true, that will be delightfully divisive as well.
Jeebuz, can you please use spell check before you post? And maybe do a grammar/syndax evaluation as well? It's the freaking 21st Century; there's no excuse for this.
Pretty sure the legislatures of the "Bluest States in America" don't get held in contempt of court for failing to fund their schools. And respond to the State Supreme Court by more failing to fund the schools. They pull your Blue State Card for that shit.
I donât know Bob Fergusonâs history before he became the AG, but heâs been a badass in that position.
I agree that itâs good to see at least some Dems getting passionate, but Iâm waiting for someone to say something like:
This Executive Order is cowardly. A group as small and vile as ISIS doesnât get to dictate who comes to this country and who doesnât. ISIS doesnât get to tell us that we need to stop embracing immigrants and refugees. ISIS doesnât get to influence the policies of the United States of America, and it especially doesnât get to throw aside our core values. We have military, intelligence, and law enforcement agencies in every nook and cranny of the world, but weâre still so scared that we need to use refugees as human shields? Weâre going to build a wall on the border with Mexico, and now weâre going to keep out anyone who has been unlucky enough to live in a place where ISIS has a presenceâŠ. maybe we can get federal money so we can board up the spaces where someone could crawl under our beds too. This is embarrassing. For Godâs sake, letâs act like adults. Letâs act like decent people. Letâs act like Americans.
More like this, please, silent democrats.

Man, these people are insane.

No need to wait, you just did.
