When is a "constitutional crisis" not a constitutional crisis?



"We're careening, literally, toward a constitutional crisis," Sen. Richard Blumenthal said on CNN Thursday morning....

Thursday wasn't the first time Blumenthal has seen a constitutional crisis on the way in the new Trump administration.

"We are careening toward a constitutional crisis," he said on Jan. 31.

"We are careening toward a constitutional crisis," he said on Feb. 1.

"Our nation is careening toward a constitutional crisis," he said on Feb. 8.

And now, "We're careening, literally, toward a constitutional crisis."

At various times, Blumenthal has been upset by Trump's national security executive order, his firing of Obama holdover Justice Department official Sally Yates, and now, his comments about Blumenthal himself.

The senator is entitled to define "constitutional crisis" as he wishes, but consider one thing. So far, the Trump has been ordered to do something by a federal judge exactly once. And the administration did what the judge told it to do....

A CNN investigation reveals that Venezuela for years may have issued passports to people with ties to terrorism.

Trump Refugee Order Balances Security and Compassion



Read any commentary on the just signed executive order on visa and refugee vetting from several countries in the Middle East and odds are the assessment will tell you more about the writer’s politics than be an analysis of the order.

I confess: I have a perspective as well. Mine comes from working on the presidential team on both foreign policy and homeland security from after the Republican convention up to the inauguration. I can’t share the detailed workings of the team. But what I can share, having worked on the issues, is what I believe guided the work.

And it all started with making America safe.

Not campaign promises, anger at any religion, or prejudice of any kind impacted our thinking on the transition team. What we were worried about were future threats.

As the space for the Islamic State, or ISIS, gets squeezed in the Middle East, the remains of the tens of thousands of foreign fighters will have to flow somewhere. Every nation, not just the U.S., believes they are most likely to flow to the countries cited in the order. That fact, and only that fact, is why those countries are included on the list. Indeed, when it comes to visa vetting, that’s why the European Union has restrictions that are comparable to the United States.

The reason why we all worry is because, from those countries, foreign fighters could well try to flow to the West, principally by using visas or posing as refugees....

A nation 'WRECKED' by immigration: Do-gooding Swedes turn against migrants amid violence



SWEDEN’S open-door policy has 'WRECKED' Europe’s most liberal nation as the Swedes turn against migrants amid an unprecedented rise in violence and sex attacks.

For years Sweden has regarded itself as a “humanitarian superpower” - making its mark by offering refugee to those fleeing war and persecution.

But people’s patience with their visitors is wearing thin following a year of violence, sickening sex assaults and the death of social worker Alexandra Mezher, 22, who was knifed to death at an asylum centre for unaccompanied children at the hands of a Somalian migrant who claimed he was 15.

At the time, her grieving mother, an immigrant herself from the Middle East said: “Immigration has destroyed Sweden.”

The overlooked substance in Donald Trump's speech



Most coverage of Donald Trump's speech in New York Wednesday has focused on his attacks on Hillary Clinton. Or the fact that he read the speech from a teleprompter. Or the fact that it came amid a period of disorder and change in his campaign.

But Trump included actual substance in the speech — new policy proposals and promises — that escaped many observers. In a series of pledges to take action in his first 100 days as president, Trump said he would move on trade, business regulation, energy, and several other topics.

One area in which Trump promised to take extensive and quick executive action is immigration, with a pledge to "change immigration rules to give unemployed Americans an opportunity to fill good-paying jobs."

What Trump meant is that there are parts of U.S. immigration policy — significant parts — that could be changed through executive action, or regulation, or simply enforcing existing law....
