When Molly Ivins said that guys who have made a lot of money in business have a very hard time working in a system of checks and balances, this is what she was talking about.<br /> Trump seems to really hate being held accountable for anything. He acts like following the rules really chaps his hide. <br /> I don't actually know anyone who thinks a Muslim ban is constitutional, and most national security experts say that it will mostly be used as a recruiting tool for terrorists. <br /> But, as evidenced by his reaction, he thinks it makes him look strong (strong=gets to tell a lot of people what to do). This is dangerous incompetence bordering on criminal insanity.<br /> Our own intelligence services released a paper stating that country of origin is not a reliable indicator of terrorist activity, and noting that terrorism committed by foreign born individuals here usually occurs after years of radicalization here, not overseas.<br /> So what's the point?<br /> That also seems to be what the judges want to know.<br /> Perhaps if Trump wants it to succeed, he should come up with an answer to the question.<br /> As long as he sticks to his "facts are what I say they they are" act, I don't see that happening any time soon.<br /><br /> -Doug in Oakland dinthebeasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12941071534250216503noreply@blogger.com
