The bold is just not true. Even if we don't know what President Obama's vetting process was, we are absolutely in a position to question what President Trump's vetting process is. Because he is the President. And he is the one who put out the horseshit EO.
To be clear, I think there is a constitutional way to ban refugees and visa seekers from any country in the world. I don't think we should do it, but it there are ways to do it that pass muster. The chuckleheads in this administration don't give a shit about that, however.
You and I see the issue of refugees from Muslim countries in starkly different terms. That is fine; the issue has plenty of room for disagreement. The difference is that you hope that Bannon and Miller come up with something that actually meets your needs and wants with respect to immigration while maybe sort-of being constitutional. I don't believe this administration, led by a man who has repeatedly called to ban immigration by Muslims, deserves any benefit of the doubt.
