So, Jeff Sessions made the call today, and it is contentious one certainly. As was stated, you are a nation of laws so nothing being stated should surprise anyone.
This decision was so contentious in fact, that CNN said that it is cowardice for Trump to not make the public announcement, as if the statement from Sessions wasn't appropriate, followed by a Trump statement. Yet, when do they ever ask the Democratic leader about their position on these difficult decisions? They did the same thing with the Paris Accord, because they know that the position in support of the Paris Accord is also contentious, and the ability to defend this Accord was nearly impossible for the Dems, so better to just not have them speak about it publicly. If they had to make a statement in support of the Accord it would never be followed by questions, because the Accord was horrific for the American taxpayer.
Where is Chuck Schumer on this issue? They will all say "this is a heartless decision" yet, they dare not give an alternative. They want these people to remain in limbo until one day they just vote for the Democrats, even if illegally. One would thin he would have an opinion and stand by it publicly. Since they know it would only cost them votes from those they are already unpopular with, they choose not to take a stance publicly.
In the end, if you are going to call someone a coward for correctly something that violated the Constitution, at least have the courage and integrity to have the opposition party stand on the soapbox and give a statement. CNN calling it cowardly to not make a public statement, on the reversal of an illegal E.O is just wrong.
