The Senate Judiciary committee passed a resolution Thursday pushing back on Donald Trumpâs proposed temporary ban on Muslims entering the United States.
âIt is the sense of the Senate that the United States must not bar individuals from entering into the United States based on their religion, as such action would be contrary to the fundamental principles on which this Nation was founded,â the amendment reads.

They want us dead.
...and there in lies the problem with the GOPe.
They should rapidly followup on this vote with a ban of all muslimigration from at least a dozen mudslime nations, if not all 57 of ‘em.
The president has the authority, on his own, to do such a ban.
Citizen Trump can not do a ban, but President Trump could do so.
Resolution Barring Consideration of Religion in Immigration Passes Senate Committee
Dear Senator
If the GOP wishes to control the Senate after the 2016 elections, they best kill this bit of grandstanding PR nonsense quickly. The GOP Leadership of the US Senate could not be more out of touch with the will of the voters on this issue if they were actively trying.
Here is current law. Do not mess with it.
8 U.S. Code ̤̉ 1182 - Inadmissible aliens
(f) Suspension of entry or imposition of restrictions by President
Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate
Amazing...with all the serious issues plaguing this country right now, the Senate wants to push back on one candidates campaign rhetoric...how pathetic
That is exactly what they are trying to stop here. They are trying to change the law.
Islam is political - ban should be on that ground.
Thanks. I should have read the other thread first.
These senators have lost their minds.
It’s clear these Idiots didn’t hear what Trump actually said and got their info from Obama’s Media
lol
non-binding resolution that means nothing. And most importantly does not change existing law that allows the President to keep out people deemed a threat.
They’re walking themselves WAAAAAAY out on the limb for the next attack.
Senate Panel Passes Resolution Rejecting Trump's Proposed Muslim BanLOL! THEY THINK HE'S THE PRESIDENT ALREADY!!!
Then Barack's killing of muslim leader, Osama bin Laden, must have really pissed them off and been a major recruiting tool since.
Just because 80% of Americans want it is no reason for the GOP to support them. Eat your gruel commoners.
Merry Christmas
Islam is a murderous cult that seeks the death of all non-Muslims by any violent means necessary. As such, they restrict Americans' inalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Nazi leaders were prosecuted for crimes against humanity. Islam has been guilty of this from it's inception.
Those of you that think he won't be able to work with the congress, you're right, HE'LL CONTROL the congress.
GO TRUMP!!
