"Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me. I lift my lamp beside the golden door." *
We say good riddance to Syrians. Who needs them? It's like who needs an apple a day when you have good old American McDonalds? This country will be better off without any wretched refuse of Syrians polluting our country. What's a Syrian ever done for America?
Consider the disturbing story of Syrian immigrant
Abdulfattah Jandali. Just the name tells you-or certainly our president-that he's up to no good. He came to this country in the early 1950's. He settled in Wisconsin, and then, showing just what these type of immigrants do, Jandali got an American woman pregnant before he married her and before he could support a family. Just another worthless immigrant trying to game the system and not being responsible.
In 1955 Jandali's son was born and he put him up for adoption. An American couple that was childless adopted the baby. They named him Steven. Their last name was ....Jobs.
Yes. The man who changed the world, who brought us Apple, and then rescued Apple, who brought us the Ipod, the Ipad, the Iphone and changed the way the world shopped, communicated, and viewed books and videos was the son of a Syrian immigrant.
Who are the next Steve Jobs that the 45th POTUS has banned? What children who may grow-up to solve the problem of global warming are being banned from this country because of where they were born?
Our loss is Canada's gain, as the PM of Canada has graciously offered to accept all those immigrants banned by a country that now-falsely- has a Statute of Liberty on its shores, no longer to welcome immigrants, but to mock them and turn them away.
For shame.
See You In Court.
*Unless you are from Syria or some other countries in the Middle East, are Muslim, and have a funny sounding name. In that case, then GTFU as you are not welcome in this country and never will be while 45 is president.
ReplyDeleteThere is no global warming. It's a hoax; invented by the Chinese. Get with it Rump.
By the way, it was nice seeing Khurrim Wahid and many other attorneys stepping up and offering, free of charge, to assist those in need over the past 48 hours.
Captain Out .....
Rump I have never written but I enjoy your blog.Today I learned that another veteran of MJB has passed last Christmas day. Michael Cohen who started as an asa in the early eighties and was an excellent dui lawyer died after along bout with cancer. Michael was a MENSCH and he will be remembered. Blecher Catalano Reiff Quirantes and many others saw him every day in the dui wars.I like to think he was my friend.RIP Michael.
ReplyDeleteOn January 27, 2017, the President signed an Executive Order regarding immigrants and refugees from certain Muslim-majority countries. The order has now been challenged in a number of jurisdictions. As the Acting Attorney General, it is my ultimate responsibility to determine the position of the Department of Justice in these actions.
ReplyDeleteMy role is different from that of the Office of Legal Counsel (OLC), which, through administrations of both parties, has reviewed Executive Orders for form and legality before they are issued. OLC’s review is limited to the narrow question of whether, in OLC’s view, a proposed Executive Order is lawful on its face and properly drafted. Its review does not take account of statements made by an administration or it surrogates close in time to the issuance of an Executive Order that may bear on the order’s purpose. And importantly, it does not address whether any policy choice embodied in an Executive Order is wise or just.
Similarly, in litigation, DOJ Civil Division lawyers are charged with advancing reasonable legal arguments that can be made supporting an Executive Order. But my role as leader of this institution is different and broader. My responsibility is to ensure that the position of the Department of Justice is not only legally defensible, but is informed by our best view of what the law is after consideration of all the facts. In addition, I am responsible for ensuring that the positions we take in court remain consistent with this institution’s solemn obligation to always seek justice and stand for what is right. At present, I am not convinced that the defense of the Executive Order is consistent with these responsibilities nor am I convinced that the Executive Order is lawful.
Consequently, for as long as I am the Acting Attorney General, the Department of Justice will not present arguments in defense of the Executive Order, unless and until I become convinced that it is appropriate to do so.

Yes Virginia there are some (if not most) Government Lawyers who still believe in doing the right thing for the right reason even if it pisses a high ranking office holder who's in the wrong off. Certainly I'm not referring to any state officials.

Steve Bannon, Irish-Catholic boozer, is our generation's Joseph McCarthy, and Stephen Miller, self-loathing Jew, is his Roy Cohn.
ReplyDeleteYes, Canada much like Canadians are a gentle & loving country.
ReplyDeleteWho cares what sally has to say. She's out as soon as Jeff is in.
ReplyDeleteElliot Richardson and the SATURDAY NIGHT MASSACRE.
ReplyDeleteIn October 1973, after Richardson had served just five months as Attorney General, President Nixon ordered him to fire the top lawyer investigating the Watergate scandal, Special Prosecutor Archibald Cox. Richardson had promised Congress he would not interfere with the Special Prosecutor, and, rather than disobey the President or break his promise, he resigned. President Nixon subsequently ordered Richardson's second-in-command, Deputy Attorney General William Ruckelshaus, to carry out the order. He too had promised not to interfere, and also tendered his resignation. The third in command, Solicitor General Robert Bork, planned to resign after firing Cox, but Richardson persuaded him not to in order to ensure proper leadership at the Department of Justice during the crisis. Bork carried out the President's order, thus completing the events generally referred to as the Saturday Night Massacre.
Trump just fired Sally Yates. She can happily admit to being the first person to hear Trump utter those famous words: YOU'RE FIRED!!!
ReplyDeleteI want Trump to just sign a full, unapologetic Muslim ban. Why are we tiptoeing around this? They have a totalitarian theocratic political ideology masquerading as a religion. We didn't import communists from Russia during the cold war. Why are we importing people with a terrorist ideology during a war on terror?
ReplyDeleteAlso, let's re-take Constantinople while we are at it.
The United States did not ban the Irish during the IRA’s terror reign, that included bombing Louis Mountbatten, 1st Earl Mountbatten of Burma
ReplyDelete"In 1979, Mountbatten, his grandson Nicholas, and two others were killed by the Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA), which had placed a bomb in his fishing boat, Shadow V, in Mullaghmore, County Sligo, Ireland."

"The Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA or PIRA) is[7][8][9][10] an Irish republican paramilitary organisation that seeks to remove Northern Ireland from the United Kingdom and to bring about an independent republic encompassing all of Ireland.[11][12]... It has been designated as a terrorist group by the United Nations Security Council, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), the European Union, the United States, United Kingdom and various other countries."
