Trumps Muslim comments could haunt him in travel ban appeal

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — The first federal appeals court to hear a challenge to President Donald Trump’s revised travel ban appeared unconvinced that it should ignore the Republican’s repeated promises on the campaign trail to bar Muslims from entering the country.

An attorney for the president urged the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Monday to focus on the text of the religiously neutral executive order rather than use campaign statements to infer that the policy was driven by anti-Muslim sentiment.

But that idea was challenged by some members of the 13-judge panel, which is examining a ruling that blocks the administration from temporarily barring new visas for citizens of Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen.

“Is there anything other than willful blindness that would prevent us from getting behind those statements?” asked Judge Henry Floyd, who was appointed to the court by President Barack Obama.

1. Looks to me like Trump's going to be DENIED again.

That's going to sting a bit. But, that's what you get when you do unconstitutional things, dude. Too bad. Stop doing those things.
