Trump is trying to do some. The 9th Circuit seems to think it can upend all precedent to stop him. Tom Send a noteboard - 24/05/2017 09:46:30 PM

There's little doubt the Supreme Court will overturn the 9th Circuit, but you see how much resistance there is.

We can amend immigration forms without Congressional action to include all sorts of questions about ideology, like "Do you believe that all people are entitled to equal rights regardless of sexual orientation?" (we probably already have that).

The limitation there is that we can only kick them out if we can prove that AT THAT TIME they were lying, which is why you put it in every visa application, every green card application or renewal, and every naturalization application.

Then, if there is evidence they lied, you can get rid of them. Denaturalization is the hardest, but it is possible and can be done. Of course, there's a further problem that often it's the children (as in Manchester) of the immigrants who are the worst. They don't feel at home in their native country and want to prove they're more Catholic than the Pope, so to speak, with respect to their heritage. Not permitting ghettoization might be another step that would help reduce this problem.

Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius

What do you mean, exactly, by "stop making ourselves targets" then? - 23/05/2017 09:47:43 PM 611 Views
First off, we agree completely on one thing - 23/05/2017 10:51:22 PM 672 Views
What hasn't been consistent about our foreign policy in that region? - 23/05/2017 11:13:57 PM 704 Views
I thought it was obvious that I didn't mean consistently shit. - 23/05/2017 11:36:58 PM 656 Views
It's always about us, then, isn't it? - 24/05/2017 02:34:52 AM 642 Views
For me, it is. - 24/05/2017 07:49:03 AM 649 Views

They might have a point with that one. I haven't seen much value from it. - 23/05/2017 09:53:19 PM 594 Views

Aren't there significant differences between the Salafis and the Islamic State? - 23/05/2017 08:58:35 PM 603 Views
All extremists are Salafis, not every Salafi is an extremist - 23/05/2017 09:54:26 PM 760 Views
Yeah, I get that. - 23/05/2017 10:12:45 PM 640 Views
See this seems like some common sense stuff to me. How do we get politicians to make good on it? *NM* - 24/05/2017 05:20:15 PM 389 Views

Picking a concert that would be mostly teenage girls makes it extra disgusting *NM* - 23/05/2017 09:37:25 PM 340 Views
Not really. It's a logical extension of the whole rationale. - 23/05/2017 09:50:30 PM 680 Views
He said 'extra disgusting'. Not 'less logical'. *NM* - 23/05/2017 10:29:21 PM 357 Views
I am not sure logic applies to the issue. - 23/05/2017 10:41:32 PM 588 Views
I can see that - 24/05/2017 11:47:59 AM 647 Views
It makes me wonder about the attacker - 23/05/2017 11:00:40 PM 645 Views

Your errors are legion here. - 24/05/2017 10:03:53 PM 619 Views
Really? I see precisely one point which, according to you, is a factual error. - 26/05/2017 11:41:00 PM 682 Views
You're not looking very hard, then - 27/05/2017 03:23:36 PM 713 Views
At this point we're just arguing about perspective, seems to me. - 28/05/2017 07:11:55 PM 805 Views
No, I think that you're missing the point - 28/05/2017 09:49:34 PM 543 Views

I would prefer to annihilate them, if possible, without boots on the ground. - 24/05/2017 06:03:49 PM 608 Views
I admit my reaction is as much emotional as rational but boots may be needed - 24/05/2017 06:37:51 PM 687 Views
