Paul Ryan On Stopping Trump's Muslim Ban: We'll Sue Him!
TalkingPointsMemo ^ | 6/17/2016 | Tierney Sneed

Posted on 06/17/2016 9:03:03 AM PDT by lodi90

House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) has made clear he doesn't agree with a proposal put forward by Donald Trump -- whom Ryan has endorsed -- to ban Muslim immigration into the United States, but in an interview with the Huffington Post Thursday, Ryan floated taking a President Trump to court if he tried to implement such a ban or some of his other controversial proposals unilaterally.

“I would sue any president that exceeds his or her powers,” Ryan said in a back-and-forth about Trump's claims that he could implement a Muslim ban or build a Mexican border wall without congressional approval.

Ryan said he wasn't sure of the "legal question" of whether Trump could institute a Muslim ban on his own as president.

“That’s a legal question that there’s a good debate about,” he said, citing the 1952 Immigration and Nationality Act.

"On the broader question, are we going to exert our Article I powers and reclaim this Article I power no matter who the president is? Absolutely," Ryan said. He also said he discussed the limits of the executive power with Trump.

In the interview, Ryan said his endorsement of real estate mogul did not give Trump “a blank check,” and that he was still trying to achieve "real unity" between the presumptive nominee and his caucus.

It doesn't matter.

The voters know Trump is running against the Left, the media, AND the establishment on both sides of the aisle. Ryan is simply showing himself to be among the enemies.

Ryan is not helping himself but he isn't hurting Trump.

If anything, Ryan may be strengthening the resolve of Trump's supporters.

I can guarantee you that when the convention commences, there will be great fanfare for Trump among most of the party.

Those who are anti-Trump will be at home watching the festivities on TV.

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. Whenever the Attorney General finds that a commercial airline has failed to comply with regulations of the Attorney General relating to requirements of airlines for the detection of fraudulent documents used by passengers traveling to the United States (including the training of personnel in such detection), the Attorney General may suspend the entry of some or all aliens transported to the United States by such airline.

“I would sue any president that exceeds his or her powers,” Ryan said.

WELL??????? I know one you haven’t sued!

YOU SPINELESS BASTARD! YOU AND YOUR ILK IN THE GOPE!

Worse yet...you all are like roaches when the light is turned on...scurring for cover and hiding while hopeing that you won’t be found out and sent to JAIL!

WARNING!!!!!! CAREER REPBULICANS...WE ARE COMING WITH PITCHFORKS FOR YOU!

The UniParty/Media/Government Complex expects to crush Trump in November, wait for more of the old, White men in the “conservative base” to die, and run Paul Ryan in 2020.

That’s the plan, folks.


Yep. That was the GOP plan in the 2012 “autopsy”. Fire conservatives and move the party to the left. Paul Ryan is dreaming if he thinks he can leave all this behind him and campaign in 2020 like this never happened.

“The other title on Drudge is that Obama imported 1 million Muslims during his presidency”

I’m sure that number is shy by a factor of 5.

Ryan grew his faggoty looking beard to come out as a mohameedon. There’s no doubt in my mind.

At this point, Ryan really needs to drop all the (increasingly flimsy) pretense, and have his name legally changed to “Aisha.”

-- The big thing for me is Ryan is going out of his way to stab Trump in the back. These interviews are choreographed to gaslight Trump. --

Yep. I agree. I'm just saying, Trump is better off having this battle in the open, and better off having it sooner rather than later.

All I can say is “what a jackass” and that gives jackasses a bad name when comparing to Ryan.

Also on that Drudge headline is that Obama has allowed the immigration of at least 1 million muslims into the country.

What does Speaker Ryan say about that?

The idiot just can’t keep his month shut and get behind the nominee of his party. Very unworthy of the leadership role he has. I hope he gets primaried.

Look at all the posts on your thread!
Conservatives have had our ration of this stinking cuckservative and the right wing of his Uniparty.

They give Obama—and Koskinen, Lerner, Hillary, and on-and-on—a `Get out of jail free’ card for 8 years, stalling with “Just give us Congress!”
Now they finally seem ready to use that power, threatening to sue the head of our party and president when he takes office and does what he told all the people who voted for him what he said he would do.
Incredible.

But it isn’t in the open because Trump can not reply without being smeared as being disloyal to the party. Ryan has the nearly the entire beltway and MSM giving him top cover. And he’s fighting dirty to the benefit of the Butcher of Benghazi. How pathetic is that.
