“...it’s NOT per se against the wholesale corruption, child sex abuse, human trafficking, wholesale treason that Trump’s EO is against.”
Where in Trump’s EO does it mention “child sex abuse, human trafficking, wholesale treason”?
Obama issued several EOs that mentioned “human rights abuse”
Executive Order 13606 of April 22, 2012
Blocking the Property and Suspending Entry Into the United States of Certain Persons With Respect to Grave Human Rights Abuses by the Governments of Iran and Syria via Information Technology
Executive Order 13692Blocking Property and Suspending Entry of Certain Persons Contributing to the Situation in Venezuela
I, Barack Obama, President of the United States of America, find that the situation in Venezuela, including the Government of Venezuela’s erosion of human rights guarantees, persecution of political opponents, curtailment of press freedoms, use of violence and human rights violations and abuses in response to antigovernment protests, and arbitrary arrest and detention of antigovernment protestors, as well as the exacerbating presence of significant public corruption, constitutes an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States, and I hereby declare a national emergency to deal with that threat. I hereby order:
As I read the Trump EO it is limited in a specific way to the individuals named in the Annex and in a general way to people who may be helping them or engaged in the same conduct.
This is unprecedented. If you can't see that, I feel sorry for you.
