Rep. Tom Cole (R-Okla.) on Friday said Donald Trump’s temporary ban on Muslim travel into the U.S. would not survive Constitutional scrutiny.
“If I had to pick a particular position that would concern me the most, it would be the ban on Muslims,” Cole, a lawmaker close to GOP leadership, said Friday on MSNBC. "I think it’s clearly, you know, unconstitutional, it’s ill-advised, it would really hurt the U.S.
“We need a lot of Muslim friends to deal with what we’re dealing with overseas, and we have some great Muslim friends. And we ought to recognize that and be sensitive.”

would not survive Constitutional scrutiny.
What is this “Constitution” everyone speaks of?? I know way back when we had a Book of Rules for Government, but the Supreme Leader issued an executive order banning it’s use many years ago. The Supreme Leaders two Advisory Boards, the Senate and House have also been ordered to stop referring to it, in which they happily agreed to do nothing but follow the Supreme Leaders orders. I remember not too long ago the Supreme Leaders Legal Team on the Supreme Leaders Court concurred with the Supreme Leader and Banished the Book of Rules permanently. So once again, What is this “Constitution” you speak of???
Islam is a “religion” that regularly practices human sacrifices, and yet it is accepted as a “mainstream religion”. WHY?
Under U.S. Code, the president does have the statutory authority to keep anyone out of the country, for any reason he thinks best. Per 8 USC §1182
“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.”
Absolutely, on both accounts.
If begun today, tha case would not be heard for at least 18 months and then be under appeal for at least 2 years.
by that time the vetted muslims like the King of Jordan and new diplomats and businessmen and such will be admitted and those not admitted would mostly be radicals
Freedom of religion has nothing to do with regulating entry into the country by foreign nationals, who have no constitutional rights in this country until they are allowed to enter.
I didn’t know the Founding Fathers wrote the Constitution with some ‘mooooslem “friends”’ in mind.
It’s only until we figure out what the hell is going on.
“unconstitutional” my arse! They aren’t citizens in the first place
MACCARRAN WALTER ACT OF 1952
I don’t recall the US letting in even POTENTIAL NAZI’s or JAPPANESE immigrents during the 1940’s.
In fact I believe it was a Democrat President who had a whole bunch of both locked up; even the ones who were born citizens.
During the Cold War, we prohibited people from coming into the country who had ties to the Communist Party. We don't allow now people who have terrorist ties. Cole doesn't know what is and is not constitutional. Idiot.
It is not a constitutional matter.
Maybe San Bernardino would not have happened, had we been more careful about the woman in particular.
There are two kinds of Muslims. Those who wish to kill you today and those who will wish to kill you tomorrow. All in the name of Allah who wishes all non-Muslims dead.
Early life, education, and educating career[edit]
Cole was born in Shreveport, Louisiana, the son of Helen Te Ata (née Gale) and John D. Cole.[1] He is a fifth-generation Oklahoman, having been raised in Moore, Oklahoma. He graduated from Grinnell College in 1971 with a B.A. in history. His postgraduate degrees include an M.A. from Yale University (1974) and a Ph.D. from the University of Oklahoma (1984), both in British history. Cole’s PhD thesis was entitled Life and labor in the Isle of Dogs : the origins and evolution of an East London working-class community, 1800–1980. Cole did research abroad as a Thomas J. Watson Fellow and was a Fulbright Fellow (1977–78) at the University of London. He was a college professor in history and politics before becoming a politician.
Early political career[edit]
Following his mother Helen, who served as a state representative and senator, Cole served in the Oklahoma Senate from 1988 to 1991, resigning mid-term to accept a job in Washington. From 1995 to 1999, he was Oklahoma’s Secretary of State under Governor Frank Keating, and assisted with the recovery efforts following the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing. He has also served as Chairman of the Oklahoma Republican Party.
Cole has been heavily involved in national politics as well, having served both as Executive Director of the NRCC and as Chief of Staff of the Republican National Committee (RNC).
Cole spent two years working as a paid consultant for the United States Chamber of Commerce, but his primary involvement in politics was as a political consultant for candidates. Along with partners Sharon Hargrave Caldwell and Deby Snodgrass, his firm (Cole, Hargrave, Snodgrass and Associates) played a large part in the reconstruction of Oklahoma’s political landscape, and backed a number of candidates that took office during the Republican Revolution of 1994. Among their clients have been Keating, J.C. Watts, Tom Coburn, Frank Lucas, Mary Fallin, Wes Watkins, Steve Largent, former Mississippi congressman Chip Pickering, and Hawaii governor Linda Lingle.
Comes from a LONG line of Government LEECHES! FUCK you Cole!
Sorry but your Muslim terrorist pals that you are using to overthrow legitimate governments, do not count as friends
More dead wood to clean out.
