So when the executive branch refuses to abide by checks and balances from the judicial branch what then?
Then nothing. See Andrew Jackson.
I hope you don't think that I just come over for the spells and everything. I mean, I really like just talking and hanging out with you and stuff.

OK- I will admit I just don't want to do an investigation. People keep saying this is just Trump enforcing an order that Obama had already on the books. That is BS, right?

Our wings are not tired.
We work regularly with H1 Visa holders. One of our programmers last night was saying that he and a number of his friends are talking seriously about opportunities in Canada. It is colder in Canada than Florida, but living in fear is a chilling experience too.
I am on a more hopeful swing at the moment. There is real resistance from many directions, not just the snowflakes. Republicans, CEOs, and world leaders are pushing back. Maybe dysfunction will keep him from achieving his goals?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I do think it's got to help that this is immediately affecting academics, doctors, other "elites."

All of Homeland Security can't be batshit crazy.
Ahem.
I suspect that the confusion comes from the fact there was no coordination, and it was implemented late Friday, so the people who provide guidance weren't available. And, of course, there are assholes in CBP, and in the WH.

Hard to drag myself out of bed this morning: I may have to get a sunshine lamp just to get me through to spring...

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I cannot possibly believe that calling Ted Cruz and John Cornyn will do anything, but I guess I have to try.
