Trump's heartland voters shrug off global uproar over immigration ban

http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trump-immigration-supporters-idUSKBN15E0BH?il=0

Many of President Donald Trump’s core political supporters had a simple message on Sunday for the fiercest opponents of his immigration ban: Calm down.

The relaxed reaction among the kind of voters who drove Trump’s historic upset victory - working- and middle-class residents of Midwest and the South - provided a striking contrast to the uproar that has gripped major coastal cities, where thousands of protesters flocked to airports where immigrants had been detained.

Well, we knew that Trump's hard core people wanted a Muslim ban.

I hate to say this because I've said for years that I hate how the Congress has bottlenecked every single aspect of our government and I also believe presidents should be given deference to cabinet nominees and their SCOTUS picks.

But based on the reporting that has come out of this past weekend, where a federal judge's ruling that detainees held at airports must be given access to lawyers but was not enforced by the Trump administration, tells me that the administration does not believe in the legal system or is unwilling to enforce the law.

Therefore, I do not trust that the President is offering to put someone on the court who will uphold the law and the constitution.

I do hope the Democrats do everything within their ability to block the nominee until such time that Trump shows an understanding of the justice system in the United States.
