So when are you leaving for New Zealand, your Honor? What does New Zealand have to say about this, they have pretty strict immigration laws and might not want you after all? Do you believe that people who do not support freedom of religion ought to be allowed to take up residence in the USA? Do you think that Muslim majorities should have a right to impose Sharia Law on non Muslims? Wouldn’t it be a prudent policy to keep people out who belong to a group that has a long history of not respecting other peoples’ civil rights and property rights?
Whatever else Donald Trump might do or fail to do as president if he really could cause all these Liberals to leave the country it would be worth it! Trump could be America’s “Saint Patrick”, driving all the Leftist snakes out of America!

Notably, she didn't apologize to the businessman himself.
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has regrets about her recent comments on Donald Trump, whom she hasassailed as a “faker” and a potential threat to the nation and the Supreme Court.
“On reflection, my recent remarks in response to press inquiries were ill-advised and I regret making them. Judges should avoid commenting on a candidate for public office,” Ginsburg said Thursday in a statement provided by a court spokeswoman.
Notably, this statement isn’t exactly an apology. Nor was it directed at Trump himself, who on Wednesdaydemanded contrition from Ginsburg via his bully pulpit on Twitter.
“In the future I will be more circumspect,” Ginsburg added.
It’s uncommon for the Supreme Court to issue a response to media reports from an individual justice, so it is likely Ginsburg felt compelled to address the Trump controversy out of deference to the court, which has been under fire from editorial boards and judicial observers from across the political spectrum on the ethics of a justice speaking out against a candidate for the highest office in Washington.
The spat between the 83-year-old justice and Trump began last week, when The Associated Press asked her about the prospect of a Trump presidency and what it might mean for future appointments to the Supreme Court.
Ginsburg responded with remarkable candor.
“I don’t want to think about that possibility, but if it should be, then everything is up for grabs,” she said. A day later, she told The New York Times, “I can’t imagine what this place would be ― I can’t imagine what the country would be ― with Donald Trump as our president.”
Ginsburg piled on in a CNN interview on Monday, pointing out the presumptive Republican nominee’s habit ofcontradicting himself on various issues.
“He has no consistency about him. He says whatever comes into his head at the moment. He really has an ego,” she said, adding that Trump had also “gotten away” with not making his tax returns public.
Trump reacted with characteristic outrage, at first denouncing Ginsburg’s comments as an affront to the Supreme Court as an institution but later making it about himself.
“I think it’s a disgrace to the court and I think she should apologize to the court. I couldn’t believe it when I saw it,” Trump said, according to The New York Times.
But in a tweet on Wednesday, Trump said he was the one who was owed an apology for Ginsburg’s “misconduct.” Incomprehensibly, he also fired out another tweet where he said that as president he’d “swamp” her with “real judges,” whatever that means.
This is a developing story and will be updated.
Editor’s note: Donald Trump regularly incites political violence and is a serial liar, rampant xenophobe, racist, misogynist
