About the "72" and the judges being incorrect. Well, the one judge I saw on video saying that there were no terrorists coming from the seven countries was asking the lawyers to support the order with evidence. How would the judge know? Ok, maybe it would be because the MSM doesn't report terrorism. So, is the argument that,
if the judge knew about the 72 terrorists from the seven countries, he would have approved the order? That's speculation, since we don't know that it was the only reason the order was not supported --by judges at the state, federal and appeals levels. If this were a police shooting trial or presidential election, the argument would be "it went to court; get over it."
But, back to the 72, I read the article you posted from "the federalist." At the top of the page, there's a picture of Tsarnaev, the Boston bomber-murderer, an immigrant, who was a naturalized American citizen. His family did come to the US in 2002 from Kyrgystan --but, for some reason it's not Trump's list. He murdered 4 people and injured more than a hundred. He's the poster boy for "the federalist" argument, but nothing in the defense of Trump's order would have done anything about him. No need to repeat about Saudi Arabian and Pakistani terrorists either. This is an argument about "truth," not about who's telling it. Anyway...
The federalist article goes on to mention that the claim that "right wing terrorists" have committed more terrorist acts (than Muslims) is false. Has to be true, right? I mean, there were 72 attacks by terrorists from Trump's seven, right? Well, no, and the fact that the federalist and Breitbart don't include that is glaring. There may be been 72 people accused or convicted of being associated with a terrorist activity, however.
And since 9/11, no one in the United States has been killed in a terrorist attack by someone from the seven countries, though there have been at least three non-deadly cases in which the perpetrator was connected to Iran or Somalia.
http://www.politifact.com/wisconsin/sta ... ravel-ban/Now, one can say that fact-checking sites are all phony. OR, that Breitbart is just another fact-checker with alternative facts. However, it is easy to check what the majority of the 72 people from those countries were convicted or accused of for yourself. Some were convicted of giving "material support" to terrorist organizations. Otoh, one American terrorist (belonging to America's oldest terrorist organization) walked into a church and murdered 9 Christians in cold blood.
So, to your point about exaggerated stories, isn't it an exaggeration to say that immediately halting immigration from those seven countries would be more effective than immediately halting immigration from countries that we know even from the MSM have sent terrorists here?
