FUCKTARD Delaware Democratic Sen. Christopher Coons insisted that the travel ban was, indeed, a form of religious bigotry.
It's 'is not only discriminatory and counterproductive,' he said, but also 'stands in direct contrast to the principles embedded in our Constitution and our founders’ vision of a nation where all people are free to worship as they choose.'
New Jersey Democratic Sen. Cory Booker told CNN that other judicial decisions will serve to keep Trump in check.
'Thank God we are not a nation of tyranny,' he said, 'because the president has tried multiple times and his efforts have been diluted by the court system.'
The state of Hawaii, arguing against the travel ban, claimed it was motivated by religious discrimination.
Candidate Trump had at one point called for 'a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country's representatives can figure out what the hell is going on.'
But President Trump's lawyer, U.S. Solicitor General Noel Francisco, argued before the Supreme Court that if his travel ban had been conceived as a ban on Muslims, 'it would be the most ineffective Muslim ban that one could possibly imagine.'
'Not only does it exclude the vast majority of the Muslim world, it also omits three Muslim-majority countries that were covered by past orders, including Iraq, Chad, and Sudan,' Francisco said.
