“Attempt” is the operative word here. Just about the entire Democrat caucus in both the House and Senate are made up of snowflakes.

Political theater. They do know it has to pass the House and be signed by the President, right?

The U.S. Code gives President Trump the authority. They know that.

The Democrats are playing to their base.

Which is about all they have left. Which is fine with them, as it allows them to work on re-election. Which they'll likely get. Rinse, repeat.

Political theater indeed. The liberals are NO LONGER in charge but haven’t figured it out yet, they are still in shock over having lost.

Tell me again. Why do they want to repeal Obama's immigration ban?

As long as they continue to control the media, and the media continues to give rope to the liberals, the liberals will continue to act like they are in charge. Futile, but they will. It should be good for prolonged entertainment and fake news for a while yet.

Everything this President does, gets a hyper response from the Liberals.... they are behaving like the jellyfish.

If any one of its many tentacles contacts a single thing, the entire organism reacts and goes into spasms!

Because a handful of people - literally - were inconvenienced, they want to open the floodgates. They just continue to insist on putting all Americans in danger.

They only thing they can pass is gas. And there's lots of it!

They wanted confusion or portrayed it in the media. Saving America is rolling along nicely.

From the article: Schumer told NBC’s “Today” show, “It was done in such a sloppy and careless way. . . . It almost seems like back of the envelope.”

Schumer is just playing politics.

The ban was implemented abruptly without adequate plans being put into place because Trump and team didn't want the terrorists to have advanced knowledge of what was coming.
