Court Thumps Pence Over Syrian Refugees



Not only did the US Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit tell Governor Pence his policy of not accepting Syrian refugees is an illegal act but the equivalent of racial discrimination.

The ruling from a three judge panel for the US Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit held that there is "nothing to suggest that Indiana is a magnet for Syrians." The opinion, penned by Judge Richard Posner, is critical at times of the arguments put forward by the state noting that it "provides no evidence that Syrian terrorists are posing as refugees or that Syrian refugees have ever committed acts of terrorism in the United States."

Posner calls the suggestion "nightmare speculation."

In stinging language, the court dismissed the state's argument that it has a compelling interest in protecting its residents. And Posner rejects the idea that the policy is based solely on the threat Pence thinks the refugees might pose to the safety of the citizens of Indiana.

"(Pence) argues that his policy of excluding Syrian refugees is based not on nationality and thus is not discriminatory, but is based solely on the threat he thinks they pose to the safety of residents of Indiana," Posner wrote. "But that's the equivalent of his saying (not that he does say) that he wants to forbid black people to settle in Indiana not because they're black but because he's afraid of them, and since race is therefore not his motive he isn't discriminating. But that of course would be racial discrimination, just as his targeting Syrian refugees is discrimination on the basis of nationality."

He added that the refugees coming from war-torn Syria are required to undergo multiple layers of screening by the federal government.

Well thirty one State don't want these assholes and neither do fifty three percent of Americans.

Douchebag in the WH doesn't appear to care what Americans want so he's going to import more of these assholes. We taxpayers will be supporting these fuckwads for decades.

Hillary agrees with him which just goes to show she couldn't care less what Americans want either.

I think it was you, I could be wrong, but wasn't it you that recently used the term "rule of law' or words to that effect?

The court rules you comply-----you comply until you can get the law changed, anything else would be criminal behavior - do you disagree with that?

The rule of law doesn't sound to great when Douchebag is letting unvetted Muslim into America despite what the citizens and the States want.
