The problem with these bad rulings is that they produce precedence and they can be used when other times of "emergency and peril" present themselves. Such bad laws are usually not cited because they are generally considered, well, ... bad and anti-canonical. That doesn't stop the Trump administration's clown car of lawyers and his friends on Fox "News" from invoking Korematsu.
Looks like the latest version of travel ban may pass. So what marginal group is next? It could be yours.
Trump Log:
Monday 4/23/18 - If a White House staffer wants Trump to read their briefing, you must put it in very simple terms and visual ... think "see Jane run." (Source: The New Yorker)
Tuesday 4/24/18 - Trump's team is clearly not vetting nominations before they go before the Senate for confirmation. (Source: Washington Post)
Wednesday 4/25/18 - Trump's HUD Secretary, Ben Carson, announces that they are raising the rent on those receiving federal housing assistance, some of their rents will be tripled. Once again, this President preys on the poorest of the poor while cutting taxes for billionaire. Disgraceful! (Source: Washington Post)
Thursday 4/26/18 - What metaphor should I use? The Trump roller coaster? The Trump revolving door? The Trump frat house? Trump nominated the White House doctor, Ronny Jackson, to be head of the VA (Dept. of Veteran's Affairs). This is the second largest department in the federal government with the Pentagon being the largest. If Jackson wasn't a pill peddling, drunk driver with a record of creating a hostile work environment, he'd still be unqualified because he's had no management experience. (Source: Washington Post)
Friday 4/27/18 - Trump uses Twitter to threaten any country that does not support the North American bid for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Wow! (Source: Washington Post)
Saturday 4/28/18 - As Trump claims to want to send US astronauts back to the moon, he cancels funding for the only lunar vehicle they have in production. (Source: Washington Post)
Sunday 4/29/18 - There is new evidence that Trump obstructed justice in the Russian probe, validating Comey's allegations that he was called by the President a number of time and asked to back off. (Source: Slate)
