He’s pandering to his uninformed base. They don’t know he has no power to do so. They just see the words and believe them. It happens all the time.

Some polling recently came out showing his approval among white evangelicals and white Catholics is slipping. Probably just a coincidence.

I am sure there is a lot that you don't know. If you are a member of one of those denominations you sure as heck know about it. Days of obligation call for mandatory attendance - like Sundays and special days within the church calendar. The Episcopals believe in that, too.

It’s a shame all the states rights people were silent when Obama was suing Arizona over their immigration laws.

I could be wrong but I think it's been a settled point of constitutional law for around a couple of hundred years that the feds make immigration laws, not the states.

Wrong. This is a health issue. The government absolutely has the right and responsibility to manage any social gathering as it sees fit during a crisis.

Just watch this fall when the 2nd wave hits, Trump declares martial law and postpones the election. 😆

You will have to take that up with the courts bc they ruled that churches couldn’t be shut down..... I don’t really think there will be a huge second wave and if their is..... I hope we are smarter this time and just quarantine the ones that need it and not shut down the world.

No doubt. You’ll never hear me claiming to be the smartest guy in a room.

Arizona was going to enforce federal law as it’s written, which made the Obama administration lose its mind.

I havent been following the court proceedings closely, but I thought there were disparate rulings depending on the court. I'm pretty sure a federal judge in NC recently struck down a ban, but a ban was upheld in CA earlier in the month. I don't know if the rulings were temporary or if they have been appealed.

Extending your line of thought...would not the protection of the Bill of Rights fall under the same authority?

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

I don't think that's entirely accurate. The law actually gave AZ broader enforcement powers than federal agents in some circumstances, allowed them to require separate registration of immigrants with the state, and criminalized some immigration activities that weren't criminal under federal law. Those items in the AZ law were struck down. The court upheld a provision that required state officers to check immigration status during a stop or arrest.

Do you have any idea how well regarded propulica is?

In 2010, it became the first online news source to win a Pulitzer Prize, for a piece[4] written by one of its journalists[5][6] and published in The New York Times Magazine[7] as well as on ProPublica.org.[8] ProPublica states that its investigations are conducted by its staff of full-time investigative reporters, and the resulting stories are distributed to news partners for publication or broadcast. In some cases, reporters from both ProPublica and its partners work together on a story. ProPublica has partnered with more than 90 different news organizations, and it has won five Pulitzer Prizes.

And? The Pulitzer prize is as politically biased as you are.
