I think at this point the political encyclopedias on Nairaland need to explain how on earth these Trump calls are moving swiftly

I thought in a DEMOCRACY the executive, legislators and the judiciary must align before decisions can be SIGNED into law

Ayam not understanding again o

One gets the feeling that Trump's impeachment will come sooner than expected.

lol .. na dream be dis or reality?

President Trump will be there for 8 solid years.

Democrats had better start strategising on how to rebuild the party 'cos the jackass now caters to the coasts - leaving the elephant with the spoils in swaths of the middle.

davidif:


The American constitution provides the President with some few special privileges call temporary executive actions. For it to be permanent, the congress would have to vote on it and pass it which neither seem to have done this time

Clinton News Network is at it again. If she knew she couldn't run with the government's policies, why didn't she honorably resign?
See her face like amoeba.
Stark hypocrisy is when you are soo vocal and expectant about the failure of Trump, someone who doesn't care if you exist or not, while you turn a blind eye to your country's indisputable failings . A government you helped bring to power.
Just take a look at them littering the thread already, busybody zombies being more American than the American while their Nigeria nosedives deeper into the quagmire. Charity they say begins at home.

God bless DT, why complain ...must they live with Infidels? these Animals aren't suppose to live in the same country with humans

That will not happen. He will complete his tenure gallantly.

bezimo:
That's great.All the hypocritical liberals want to frustrate trump.Boot them out and keep the terrorists out of America.
When Obama was oppressing the far right and republicans with his evil policies and taking away their freedom, they were no protest, now the reverse is the case, they no want let us rest.

Nonsense, I hope Trump stand strong and not give in to the demands of a select group of people.


Those liberals are some of the most hypocritical set of people to observe.They are so demented, and act like zombies that feed off the Liberal media of ABC, CNN etc.No sense of rationality, only to oppose Trump that is what they want to do because they can't think for themselves.

If they had mobilised and protested in masse against killing of unarmed blacks, against Islamic terrorism, against women oppression in the middle east, against Obama's frustration of religious freedom, then it would make sense to understand why they are protesting the muslims ban.

CXLVII:



That's certain....cant just tell when and the extent of long lingering damage he would have caused America before then.

Don't worry ehn! Nothing lasts forever. Mid term elections are only two years away and the democrats are going to come back with a vengeance. So let him enjoy the next two years.

Chibydinho:
I am a Christian and also from the east but to be sentimental about some of President Trump's policies would be like feigning to be injured in the field of play because my team is losing.

To put the record straight, not all Muslims are terrorists and making such hasty generalization by trying to place ban on certain countries won't help. Let Him think of better ways to make America great.

pchukwudi:
Hypocrites.

16 countries have a permanent ban on Isreali passport - which affects american citezens too. Ever heard any CNN junk lending their voices to repeal the discrimination?

**** you have no idea what's going on. The liberals are making noise because they need the immigrants (including the illegal ones) to prop up their population so they can keep basterdizing America's founding values, culture and judeo-christian tradition. This is a war for the soul of America. And truth will always triumph over lies, and light over darkness.

The American carnage and wanton bastardization of her scared traditions stops NOW. You guys and your ilks can migrate to the Gambia if you are pissed.

seankay:
At the end of the day, Americans will appreciate Donald Trump.

FBS:
Hypocrites everywhere. The so called " liberal media" should give it a rest.

Trump fires acting AG after she declines to defend travel ban

By Evan Perez and Jeremy Diamond, CNN

January 31, 2017

Story highlights
Yates is an Obama appointee
She is serving until Trump nominee Sessions is confirmed.


Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump fired acting Attorney General Sally Yates Monday night for "refusing to enforce a legal order designed to protect the citizens of the United States," the White House said.

"(Yates) has betrayed the Department of Justice," the White House statement said.
Dana Boente, US attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, the White House said, and was sworn in at 9 p.m. ET, per an administration official.
Trump didn't call Yates to dismiss her, she was informed by hand-delivered letter, according to a different administration official.
The dramatic move came soon after CNN reported Yates told Justice Department lawyers not to make legal arguments defending Trump's executive order on immigration and refugees.

The move set up a clash between the White House and Yates, who was appointed by President Barack Obama and was set to serve until Sen. Jeff Sessions, Trump's nominee for attorney general, is confirmed.
"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," she said in a letter. "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."
Trump's executive order, signed Friday, bars citizens of seven Muslim-majority countries from entering the United States for the next 90 days, suspends the admission of all refugees for 120 days and indefinitely suspends the Syrian refugee program. Yates' decision came amid a flood of protests against the executive order nationwide and after four federal judges ruled against Trump's order, staying its impact on people who were detained at US airports over the weekend.

Trump tweeted his response shortly after the news broke, saying Democrats have stymied Sessions' confirmation, enabling Yates.

"The Democrats are delaying my cabinet picks for purely political reasons. They have nothing going but to obstruct. Now have an Obama A.G.," he said.

"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," Yates wrote.
Yates' decision was always likely to be extremely short-lived as Sessions is scheduled for a vote in the Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday.
White House policy director Stephen Miller, who helped craft the executive order, called Yates' decision "a further demonstration of how politicized our legal system has become."
The US ban: Why these 7?
"It's sad that our politics have become so politicized, that you have people refusing to enforce our laws," Miller said Monday night on MSNBC.
Miller also defended the executive order's legality, insisting that the Immigration and Nationality Act gives the President "the ability to exclude any class of would-be visitors or immigrants to our country based on our national security interests."

But the decision didn't face the same criticism from Rep. Pete Sessions, a top House Republican, who said Yates' decision was likely similar "to an evaluation that we made."
"And that was it did not appear to be specific in nature," Sessions said referring to the executive order. "So it may be a matter of clarity it may be a matter of illegality to him, it may be a matter of several things. It did not look as complete and succinct as what I think I would've wanted."
Rep. Elijah Cummings, the top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, praised Yates for standing up "on principle."
"In all my years as a member of Congress, which now is 21, I've met so many very principled people who truly believe in the Constitution and doing what is right," Cumming said. "There comes a time when people, no matter who may be their boss, they stand upon their principles, so at the end of the day they can look them selves in the mirror and say 'I synchronized my conduct with my conscience.' And Yates is such a person."
Currently, there are cases filed in at least five states including Virginia, New York, Massachusetts, Washington and California that are challenging Trump's order.
The decision effectively grounds the executive order for the next few days until Sessions is sworn in.

"This will be moot. Then we will very much see the Trump Justice Department led by Jeff Sessions defend this executive order pretty vigorously. And then it will be up to the courts," said Steve Vladeck, a CNN contributor and law professor at the University of Texas School of Law.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer told CNN's Erin Burnett Monday the Justice Department decision reflects poorly on the Trump administration.
"When you do something as important as this, it can't be a Twitter-type of activity," Schumer said. "This has to be thoroughly vetted ... and it's a very bad omen for this presidency."
Activists who have led the fight against Trump's immigration ban lauded Yates' action Monday night.
"We took to the court room, people took to the streets and now principled federal officials are drawing a hardline on this shameful and unconstitutional act by President Trump. This is what we rely on the Department of Justice for, to uphold the rule of law no matter how the political wind is blowing," said Karen Tumlin, the National Immigration Law Center's legal director.
Lee Gelernt, the American Civil Liberties Union lawyer who argued against the immigration ban in court in New York, praised Yates' decision and called on the next attorney general to "continue with that policy."
"This ban will do irreparable damage to real people and to American values," he said.
CNN's Kevin Liptak and Theodore Schleifer contributed to this report.
