Quote:Which racist scum bag are you referring to? Trump?

And, I'm sorry to tell you this, but just because a hypothetical law hasn't been ruled upon doesn't make it constitutional!! That's terrible logic! There was a time when segregating blacks was allowed, was it constitutional just because the ruling of brown v board of education hadn't been ruled yet? No. It was legal under our laws, but it wasn't constitutional.
Jurisdiction dictates that the power of the government can be imposed upon a person. Under our laws and constitution, due process is afforded to those which fall within said jurisdiction--this includes citizens and non citizens alike.

As a class, one would look at the hypothetical of banning all blacks from entering this country, and clearly would see this as unconstitutional...

However, when it comes to Muslims, it becomes more difficult for some people. Trump is playing off this fear and bigotry to garner votes. That's the definition of being a scum bag.

We are still dealing with two separate issues here. Constitutionality of banning specific persons from entering our country and who is actually covered by our constitution.


Regarding constitutionality, there is nothing in the constitution that prevents a president from barring anyone from entering our country, and a precedent has already been set for a president banning entry into the country.


Now about who is covered. Jurisdiction also dictates the area of coverage of those laws. Our jurisdiction ends at our borders, everyone within the borders and the borders themselves are covered by our constitution. The BORDERS are our jurisdiction, not the people trying to cross them. People outside our country have no right to our due process until they step foot over that border. You don't suddenly get covered by our constitution just because you want to come in.
