BREAKING *****Trump's Muslim Ban Falls Again*****

The state of Hawaii on Monday asked the Supreme Court to keep President Trump's travel ban on hold, arguing there is now a "near universal perception" that the president was trying to implement an unconstitutional "Muslim ban."

Hawaii Attorney General Douglas Chin and Solicitor General Clyde Wadsworth argued in a court filing that changes made to Trump's revised travel ban cannot fix the underlying problem of the executive order, that it violates First Amendment protections of religion.

"The First Amendment bars the Government from making a citizen’s status in the political community dependent on his faith," they wrote. "The President unquestionably violates that command when he issues an Order that disproportionately burdens Muslim-Americans."

Hawaii's lawsuit, which was joined by several Muslim residents of the islands, led a federal judge to issue a nationwide block March 15 against Trump's revised travel ban. A similar ruling in a Maryland case was upheld last month by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit in Richmond, Va.

And hasn't more than 90 days passed? Whatever they had initially hoped to resolve within 90 days should be resolved by now... Right?

Being publicly bitch-slapped again and again arouses his tiny pecker.
