"The Supreme Court announced Friday it will take up the case against the latest version of President Trump's travel ban, which bars entry in to the United States for residents of six majority-Muslim countries.
The court will hear arguments in April and is expected to issue a ruling by June." http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2018/01/19/supreme-court-announces-it-will-rule-on-trumps-travel-ban.html

It's utterly idiotic to call this directive a Muslim ban when it effectively applies to less than 10% of the global Muslim population.

It is a black powerless surrounded-by-majority-of-mulism ban, to be exact.

It's the PR term that dumbass-in-chief uses to pander to his base.
However, if you post a sign in your store saying "No blacks from Detroit", it's still a ban against African-Americans and you're still gonna get your ass busted.

Is it? Has the President or his staff ever referred to it as a "muslim ban"? As far as I've seen, it's only the mainstream media which uses that term, to pander to their bases.

My apologies, they indeed call it a "travel ban".
In the beginning of his campaign, Trump was calling for a "Muslim ban", which even a moron could see is obviously unconstitutional. So they changed the name to "travel ban", but kept the contents the same. You know, as when you rob a bank, but say you're "taking out the laundry", that makes it legal.

By any other word would smell as sweet"

So he changed his position. When somebody says they want to rob a bank and then later literally takes out the bank's laundry, you don't call that a bank robbery, do you?

Is it? Has the President or his staff ever referred to it as a "muslim ban"?
On Dec. 7, 2015, at a campaign rally in South Carolina, Trump read a statement, “calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country’s representatives can figure out what is going on.” [aclu.org]

Hey now, that was candidate Trump and obviously President Trump is a very different person. You can't expect campaign promises to have anything to do with his actual term in office can you??

People, the lawyers and the courts can call it whatever they want, but I am calling it what we need and what it is, a TRAVEL BAN!
