Re: A ban on people based on their religion

Former New York mayor Rudy W. Giuliani said President Trump wanted a “Muslim ban” and requested he assemble a commission to show him “the right way to do it legally.” Giuliani, an early Trump supporter who once had been rumored for a Cabinet position in the new administration, appeared on Fox News ...

Re: A ban on people based on their religion

See, now that must be the basis of my confusion. Donald Trump said, twelve months ago, when he was campaigning to become President of the United States of America, that he would ban Muslims.

A ban on people based on their religion

I have a hard time believing that this is even happening in this day and age. In 2017 the sitting president has scoffed at the Constitution of the United States of American and placed a ban on people based on their religion. Does the Constitution even exist to this guy? It's not only appalling, it's...
