The American people decided they didn't want professionals anymore.

The American people are getting what they voted for.  :Embarrass:

Well the majority of voters did not for this. ;)

Oh good to see McConnell continue to be a sack of shit.

Only the important majority of certain states that matter more than others.

I'm reasonably sure that won't hold up in court, though I don't really know all that much about immigration law.

Sure, but I'm amazed it can even get that far.  I would think it would be an unlawful order for ICE to obey.

This is what happens when you think an "Executive Order" is some sort of directive "From the Desk of the CEO" at the corporate home office, without having the all the lawyers and affected relevant departments involved.  We call this "making shit up as we go along."

It's funny - the content of the order is so horrific, that the gross incompetency of how it was put into place is being lost.

Bannon wrote this up, had Trump sign it, and executed it without bothering to ask any Adminstration lawyers if it was legal, without asking the DOD if it would impact any of their assets, without asking DHS if they could physically actually implement it with creating chaos.

Ignore for a moment the actual policy, and this thing is a hot mess that was clearly thrown together by amateurs. And the fact that they are amateurs isn't so bad - but the fact that they are amateurs who think they are smarter than the professionals and hence refuse to ask for advice or help even on basic procedural stuff, is fucking hilarious.

And terrifying. But I am sure I am just being a hysterical liberal.

Don't worry, <insert text referencing how Donald Trump will "pivot">

At least maybe the generals will keep a lid on the National Security Council going bonkers OH WAIT
