Hawaii sues federal government to stop Trump’s travel ban
The Washington Times ^ | February 3, 2017 | AUDREY McAVOY

Posted on 02/04/2017 1:56:44 PM PST by LeoWindhorse

The state of Hawaii on Friday sued to stop President Donald Trump’s travel ban on people from seven majority-Muslim countries, joining a series of court challenges around the country.

Trump’s executive order keeps Hawaii families apart and keeps residents from traveling, state Attorney General Doug Chin said. It degrades values Hawaii has worked hard to protect, he said.

“This harms Hawaii’s identity. It harms Hawaii’s most basic values,” Chin said.

Trump’s order temporarily bans travel for people from Iran, Iraq, Syria, Sudan, Somalia, Libya and Yemen. It also temporarily halts the U.S. refugee program.

On behalf of the sane and President Trump supporting people of Hawaii , I want to apologize to the rest of the nation for this insane Liberal asshat's frivolous lawsuit against Donald trump and the President's very effective Executive Order . The AG is not a Hawaii native resident and he DOES NOT speak for the people of Hawaii . Many of us anyway . He brings great shame and negative attention to our good State , and further endangers it with h=his witless Islamo-nazi apologism . Hawaii certainly does NOT suffer from the lack of Iraqi, Syrian, Sudanese, Somali, Libyan or Yemeni refugees or immigrants . Just say NO to Allahu Akbar in Hawaii nei . No need ! Sorry America! Due to total lack of Republican spine or influence in Hawaii State politics , this is the crap you have to hear from and about us . Sorry...auwe auwe

Why does the State of Hawaii (or any other State) have standing in this case?

Sorry, Hawaii’s basic values allowed for the usurpation of the highest elected public office of the land. MAGA in progress...

Everywhere in the world Muslim have gone , and wherever Islam has spread , has been negatively impacted by their presence .Yes they might make some good doctors , go back and doctor in the muslim world . Shop keepers go back and shop keep in the muslim world . I have to wonder how many people have had to endure a mosque in their neighborhood ? The scratchy PA system coming on to blare out ‘prayers’ at 5:AM every day . They come in meekly , they breed abundantly , with multiple wives , they affect the entire demographic within 1 or 2 generations . It;s happening all over the world . This must be stopped , this must be contained . DONALD TRUMP is the only one with the balls to try and do so . We need to back him up , 100% . Whatever it takes

The opposition to this Executive Order is way out of proportion to its effects. So I suspect the Left fears that once this precedent is successfully set, their Latin American illegal voter train is next.

And they will never be able to start their Great Revolution with only the low quality US citizen material they have to work with. :)

Yeah where’s the standing?

The statute specifically gives the President the power . . .tough toenails if people are inconvenienced ...I’m inconvenienced by their presence, their crime, their brats, their welfare, their killings, their bombs . . And by their notable silence whenever there is a Muslim attack anywhere in the West .. ...these people are not compatible with Westerners nor is Sharia compatible with Constitutional governments.......keep them OUT

The LIB/Lefty lunacy is getting a bit tiresome; however, that they are incessantly whining is a sign that their world-view is being rejected by normal, thinking people.

The left knows they have no standing, but will go ahead with these lawsuits for 4 years to make it look like the President is unpopular. They did this with Bush and will do this with this President.

The GOP congress needs to step up, pull their heads out of their arse, get their guano together, and pass legislation codifying President Trump’s action to ban these vermin.

Make America Safe Again!

The communists have placed themselves in position that can and will stop much of what Trump is trying to do. They do not give a shi! for America. Actually the most feared terrorist are American communists and Muslims just taking a back seat and laughing.

Hawaii, the most racist state I have ever lived in (10 years there).
Hawaii is blessed with great beauty, but not so much great people.

Under this reasoning, shouldn’t I be able to sue sports venues, concert venues, airports, and all the places that make me stand in line and empty my pockets to get in? The reason we have to go through this scrutiny is so our government can allow in people who hate this country.
