With all due respect you didn't address my main point, which was that this affected people who are already permanent residents of the USA. They live in the U.S. already, have jobs, pay taxes. They went on vacation and when they returned they were refused entry back to their home. That's unfair.
I used myself as a hypothetical example, because you yourself suggested that maybe England could be added to the list.
However the DHS announced earlier today that green card holders are exempt, something which should have been in the original executive order in the first place!
Tiberius,
Thanks for the update. There is a provision in the EO, Section 5(e), that allows entry for people who were already in transit and denying them admission would cause undue hardship. That gave the Judge an out for ruling the way she did.
The problem is that Trump's writers wrote the thing like the Second Amendment (in mud) without specifying all of the fine points. And he was in such a hurry that he didn't have the people charged with carrying it out proofread it and correct the flaws.
If Trump doesn't have some honest critics to review his actions his yes men & women will get his ass burned off. It's like the dummy who misspelled the British PM's name twice on official correspondence. Details matter.
