Its so obviously not a Muslim ban it's painful to watch hacks try and tell me that it is.  It might be stupid, but it aint a Muslim ban!

We'll have to await the conclusion of the review process before we can celebrate anything, but things are certainly looking good. Whether or not this truly amounts to a "Muslim ban" is debatable, but Trump didn't help his case by campaigning on the promise of a Muslim ban. Now any proposal to limit travel or migration from a Muslim majority nation will be immediately viewed as a ban on persons of the Islamic faith, which is exactly the perception the courts and American public should maintain.

Absolutely not , unless it has religious exemptions the order is not a religious ban and it should not be overturned.

The intended target of the ban is implicit in the law by its application solely to Muslim-majority countries. If this ban was truly intended to target countries that are exporters of alleged terrorists, then why does it not even include Saudi Arabia - the home of numerically and proportionally more terrorists than any other? If we cannot trust the law to include the country most responsible for terrorism, including those responsible for the 9/11 attacks, then how can we trust that it's stated purpose is its actual objective?

So if the ban also targetted Saudi Arabia, one of the most Muslim countries in the world, it would no longer be a "Muslim Ban" to you?  LOL!

No, it would remain a Muslim ban. I was specifically pointing out the failure of this law to pursue its stated objectives of reducing the threat of alleged terrorists entering the United States. If that was truly its purpose, then why would it exclude the country most responsible for terrorist attacks on American soil?

Because Saudi Arabia is an "ally" obviously.  The others are not.
