President Trump’s revised travel ban goes into effect Thursday. It bars new visas for people from six predominantly Muslim countries and temporarily shuts down the U.S. refugee program. Just like the original travel ban, version 2.0 is facing legal challenges.

Washington state Attorney General Bob Ferguson led the charge that brought Mr. Trump’s first travel ban to a grinding halt. He said he’s had his days in court with the first travel ban -- and he won “each time.”

“Look, the original executive order was Keystone Kops. It was,” Ferguson told CBS News. “And that’s reflected in the chaos that was created in airports all around our country that your viewers saw day after day.”

The new executive order will ban travel from six countries, instead of seven, and it will no longer affect current visa holders. But on Thursday, Ferguson told a judge the new order is “the same basic policies in a new form” and that the judge’s restraining order should still apply.

1. What is the point of the refugee ban?

The original January ban had a duration of 120 days on the refugee ban and the March revised ban has the same 120 day duration. What is so magical about 120 days? If the point was to gain insight, why the hell weren't they working on that in February? This thing has turned into a temper tantrum "Because I said so!!!".

2. Exactly!

He hates Mooslims, unless they actually come from terrorist supporting countries like Saudia Arabia because they pay him. It's not about terrorism, not at all, it's just a huge fuck you to poor refugees. He has no heart, after all, just greed for $$ and loving to hurt his perceived enemies or anyone not strong enough to hit back.
