    Trump breaks world record for unconstitutional travel bans!

    You GO Donnie Dark!

    WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—Notching the first major achievement of his Presidency, Donald Trump has broken the world record for unconstitutional travel bans, the White House confirmed on Wednesday.

    In an official statement announcing the new world record, the White House called Trump’s second unconstitutional ban “especially impressive” because it came only thirty-eight days after his first.

    “In addition to the world record for unconstitutional travel bans, President Trump has also smashed the speed record for signing them,” the statement read.

    Sean Spicer, the White House press secretary, touted the new world record in a press briefing that sometimes resembled a victory lap.

    “After the first unconstitutional travel ban, a lot of people questioned whether the President could follow it up with another unconstitutional one so quickly,” a gloating Spicer said. “I think he silenced a lot of doubters today.”

    In a tense moment, Spicer lashed out at a reporter who claimed that, by issuing two unconstitutional travel bans in less than two months, Trump had “set the bar too high.”

    “The travel ban he is planning to sign tomorrow will be more unconstitutional than the first two travel bans put together,” Spicer snapped.

    That doesn't go along with the narrative so you will be ignored!

    It is time for a Constitutional crisis. President Trump needs to thank the federal judges for their opinions. Then continue on with the pause.
    Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.


    I pledge allegiance to the Constitution as written and understood by this nation's founders, and to the Republic it created, an indivisible union of sovereign States, with liberty and justice for all.

    I'm sorry, I don't see the temporary halts as bans or as unconstitutional. IMHO, neither will the USSC.

    Bo just wants to promote a "gotcha" thread, the constitutional aspect is irrelevant.

    Clearly these are activist judges. If what I heard earlier today, one of the judges based his "opinion" on something Trump said during his campaign?

    Yeah, I dunno.

    And, again as I've said before, I think travel bans are stupid. They symbolize fear. I think one thing we have done right, in part - not in totality during the terrorism age is not submit to fear tactics which plays into terrorists hands. So I don't care that the bans are thrown out in that sense but the constitutionality of the issue is a different story.
