MSNBC has it in “Breaking News” even though every lower court has ruled against this guy before. It’s nice to know that at least the WOT still belongs to the Executive Branch in the USSC’s eyes.

Guy has a German passport. He can come here any time he wants and do whatever he can get away with.
No really.
