This is about white supremacists: Rula Jebreal erupts at Jonathan Turley for defending Trumps ban

[still_one]

"Foreign policy analyst Rula Jebreal asserted on Sunday that President Donald Trump’s travel ban targeting Muslims was more about white supremacy than protecting the national security of the United States.

On CNN’s Fareed Zakaria GPS program, constitutional law professor Jonathan Turley predicted that courts would not overturn the bulk of Trump’s executive order banning travel from seven majority-Muslim countries.

“The law does favor President Trump in this regard,” Turley explained. “I don’t like this order, I think it’s a mistake. But that doesn’t go into the legal analysis. The court has been extremely deferential to presidents on the border.”

“I do not believe a federal court will view this as a Muslim ban,” he predicted. “I don’t think the court can, regardless of what the court may think of President Trump’s motivations. The fact that other Muslim countries are not included is going to move that off the table.”

just a side note, Turly was one of the "experts" who also predicted that the ACA would not stand up in the courts.

1. Turley......that asshole. Another jackass I was right about. nt

[Chevy]

2. Got a kick of Conrad black

and his tariff answer former Mr Free Trade didn't seem to concerned all of a sudden. Rula Jebreal is always impressive.

[Hekate]

3. I understood what both of them were saying, but Turley couldn't seem to step outside...

....his dry dispassionate analytical box. Jebreal was utterly passionate, because for her it is 100% personal.

I normally appreciate what Turley has to say because he is so dispassionate, but in this instance he and his audience would have been better served if instead of insisting that The Law would only support this or that, he could have stepped into the zone of saying how we as a country could get The Law to change to support our best ideals.

4. The Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 banned all discrimination against immigrants on the

basis of national origin, replacing the old prejudicial system and giving each country an equal shot at the quotas.

This was signed into law by President Lyndon B. Johnson.

Already lower courts in multiple states have ruled against it. Trump has made threats to defy those courts. If Trump holds to those threats he will have created a Constitutional Crisis, where the executive branch wants to over-ride a federal court.
