Even the President Has to Follow the Constitution

President Trump in effect put a ban on Muslims coming from seven nations: Libya, Sudan, Somalia, Yemen, Syria, Iran, Iraq  This is religious discrimination. This is unconstitutional.  And a Federal judge, US  District Senior  Judge James Robart of Seattle, http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2017/02/03/report-federal-judge-refuses-block-trump-immigration-ban/97466178/ appointed by President Bush in 2003, declared that Trump's executive order is unconstitutional.  So for now, the affected persons can now enter the United States if they have proper documentation. Of course, the Trump administration plans to appeal the ruling http://nypost.com/2017/02/04/justice-department-files-appeal-to-overturn-judges-travel-ban-ruling/.

Even the President has to follow the Constitution!
