You can sure tell that there's no one in charge of that party.

They will have lots of support from Democrats in R jerseys for rolling this back.

When is McConnell going to step up and force confirmation votes? He is just rolling on like it is just another day and the uniparty club house.

The Dems are not going to pass anything. They forget they are not in charge anymore.

As if to remove any doubt who’s trying to destroy the country. Let’s just bring in the worst of the worst and see what happens.

My guess is they won’t push this too hard because doing so might cause actual facts to be exposed rather than the innuendo, lies, and slander the opposition has been using exclusively to discredit the president’s action.

My response to the Crying Clown would be, ‘Yeah Sure Chuck, we’ld be happy to consider any legislation you want...right after all the Cabinet Nomiees and the USSC Nominee is confirmed. Have a nice day.’

RINOs may be that stupid but there would be no UP side for them if they do. There would not be enough votes in the Senate or House to pass such a bill and if by some strange event it does pass, Trump would veto.

So do the RINOs want to use political capital on this?

I don’t think so.

The Democrats are playing to their base.

...a likely futile attempt they’re poised to use to justify prolonging consideration of several top Cabinet nominees.

And that is precisely why they're doing it.

______________________________________

Tell these idiot dems that PM Trudeau - even as muzzies killed muzzies in a Quebec mosque - he still made a statement that refugees and immigrants from dangerous countries are still welcome in Canada; so rather than rescind a perfectly reasonable travel ban that saves lives - redirect all these terrorists to Canada.

“Democrats will attempt to rescind Trump’s travel ban”

Should read:

“Democrats will attempt to get more Americans murdered by terrorists”

Bring it to a floor vote. Let’s get the 23 senators up for re-election in 2018 on the record on this.

Hey, Chuck. How are you going to do that? You don't have control of either house in congress. Trump would veto it, even if you did.

A whole lotta nothing from Chucky.

Interesting.

If I remember correctly, through all of the political hype, the travel moratorium (IMHO a more accurate term than ban) is a Presidential Executive Order.

Is there any written provision in the Constitution that allows for this? There only three options open. First, accept it - not likely. Second, push a legal challenge. This is doomed to failure because it will end up, eventually, in front of the Supreme Court which will find in the President’s favor. Third, attempt to pass a new law which will not happen for decades. This would require a coordinated bill that would withstand not only Court challenges and Presidential Veto.

If you go through the latest ploy - a Presidential Impeachment - there is a long road to travel. Based on the Clinton Impeachment what’s the odds of a Republican dominated House passing the impeachment articles and the Republican dominated Senate voting for the impeachment itself.
