The POTUS has every right afforded to him to ban anyone or any group from entering the United States. Entering the US is a privilege not a right.

He has the right to call his representatives, Press Secretary , and lawyers liars s he just did, but is doing so anything other than idiotic, All those people have been trying very hard to have people and the Courts forget the word ban was every used

In short trump does have the right to verbal shoot himself in the foot

I see your point and yes he has the right to put his foot in his mouth, shoot him self in the foot as well as an any person or group of people from entering the US. Just because people don't like the terminology it doesn't make it any less his constitutional right and obligation.

What matters is the wording of the EO and his legal authority to issue it and enforce it. The argument about what it is called is semantics. The issue with folks on the left is you get wrapped up in the unimportant.

Cpl Jeff N. - You say the court is outside the lines but the history of the US legal system would indicate that they are not. I've found claims of judicial activism to largely be based on one's disagreement with the decision.

As far as is the POTUS "well within the law on the EO." WE can certainly opine about that but we do have a constitutional mechanism for determining that and that mechanism is the Judiciary.

You might think that the reasons for the EO are unimportant, but the courts do not think so.

Cpl Jeff N. - Where are the lines that you think the courts are "outside of drawn,' Specifically where in statutes or precedents do that line you are referring to exist?

Cpl Jeff N. - "The court is outside of the lines. It's job is to look at the legal order and interpret it in accordance with the law. They are injecting other rationale to get them to their decisions because they don't like the order. This is judicial activism."

INTENT is a major component of interpreting the law. Mens Rea is all about intent. Intent can be the difference between 1st degree murder and manslaughter. In the case of Trump he can reword the EO al he wants but he has made in known on multiple occasions what his intent is and unfortunately for him it goes against the United States Constitution.
