00:04:28 Retweeted @KarenTumlin 2017-03-15 23:46:05 Legal breakdown of the reasonable person standard part of the HI TRO: any fool on the street knows it’s a #MuslimBan & that’s illegal, yo.
00:09:20 As delicious as reading that order was, I actually am uncomfortable using motivation/intent as the logic rather than text/implementation.
00:20:59 Retweeted @imbou 00:20:27 @abulsme there is plenty of clear evidence in intent I don’t see the issue in this case in reply to abulsme
00:23:25 .@imbou In general, outside of this particular case, is if text/impact are OK, why should motive matter at all? It should be irrelevant. in reply to imbou
00:26:41 .@imbou In this actual case seems like plenty is wrong without going to motive. Actual discriminatory impact. So no need to dig into motive. in reply to abulsme
00:27:43 Retweeted @imbou 00:27:27 @abulsme precedent is not on your side on this in reply to abulsme
00:28:51 .@imbou I know. I’m talking how I think things should be. Not how things are. As order cited, plenty of precident for considering motive. in reply to imbou
00:34:52 Trump is giving even more ammo against the ban in at this very second with every word out of his mouth if logic in today’s order holds.
00:46:54 Retweeted @KarenTumlin 00:45:01 And, the 9th circuit is in on the action today. They just denied an en banc request on the order to vacate the WA v. Trump prior decision.

03:33:53 .@imbou There are many many openings right now though since R’s weren’t letting lots of O appointments go through. in reply to imbou
03:34:02 Retweeted @imbou 03:32:50 @abulsme they were more trying to see what they could get away with by exec power, so far, not as much as they thought in reply to abulsme
03:34:58 .@imbou I’m betting they actually gave very little thought to it. Just doing stuff. Not thinking about what happens next at all. in reply to imbou
03:35:58 Retweeted @imbou 03:34:57 @abulsme still not enough to stack that quickly and a lot of these judges that agreed with ban were appointed by R’s in reply to abulsme

00:04:29 Will be interesting to see if there really is anything in there, or if it turns out to be a big nothing.

Curmudgeon’s Corner: The Red Button is Bad

On this week’s Curmudgeon’s Corner Sam and Ivan hit three big issues: Trump’s accusation that Obama ordered wiretaps, the new Executive Order on immigration, and the plan to replace Obamacare. Along the way we also touch on an odd constitutional edge case, how Priebus is doing as Chief of Staff, and the usual weekly Russia updates.
