So... Friday one of the executive orders that Trump whipped out was a ban on allowing refugees into the country, as I'm sure most of us know. Last night, http://www.cnn.com/2017/01/28/politics/ ... index.html]a Federal judge granted an emergency stay on that order.
Just as an added fillip on top, apparently the entire contents of the order were completely hidden from anyone outside the Oval Office until it was signed and disseminated, and as a result of having no outside oversight or advisers, there are parts of the order which are reported to be, well, difficult to understand. And after the DHS finally arrived at what they thought was the proper legal interpretation of the order, the White House promptly overruled them. Meanwhile, in the wake of its surprise release, Trump reported from his personal reality that everything is working smoothly with no snarls or confusion anywhere. People in the real world report different conditions there. At least until the judge granted the stay.
