Federal appeals court orders dismissal of challenges to what fake media refer to as Trump’s “Muslim travel ban”

Of course, it wasn’t a Muslim travel ban - although it should be, including Saudi military trainees - because Muslims have been entering the country since the supposed ban went into place. In fact, during the Wuhan China virus lockdown alone, hundreds of Muslims were brought into the U.S.

Here’s the title from the Associated “with terrorists” Press.

Court orders dismissal of Trump Muslim travel ban challenges By DENISE LAVOIE Associated Press

RICHMOND, Va. — A federal appeals court on Monday tossed out three lawsuits challenging President Donald Trump's ban on travelers from predominantly Muslim countries, a victory for the Trump administration in its yearslong defense of the ban.

A three-judge panel of the Richmond-based 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals found that a federal judge in Maryland made a mistake when he refused to dismiss the lawsuits after the Supreme Court upheld the ban in 2018 in a separate legal challenge filed in Hawaii.

The ban, put in place just a week after Trump took office in January 2017, sparked an international outcry from Muslim advocates and others who said it was rooted in religious bias.

"We conclude that the district court misunderstood the import of the Supreme Court's decision in Hawaii and the legal principles it applied," Judge Paul Niemeyer wrote in the unanimous decision.

Justin Cox, an attorney with the International Refugee Assistance Project, the lead plaintiff in the case, said the groups who sued are considering their legal options, which could include asking the panel to reconsider its ruling, appealing to the full 4th Circuit court of 15 judges or asking the Supreme Court to hear the case.

"The panel definitely got the legal issues wrong. It seems unlikely that this will be the final word," Cox said.

"Basically, it comes down to can the president shield obviously bigoted actions by essentially laundering them through Cabinet officials coming up with neutral-seeming criteria?" he said.

The U.S. Department of Justice declined to comment on the ruling.

During a hearing in January, Mark Mosier, an attorney representing U.S. citizens and permanent residents whose relatives have been unable to enter the U.S. because of the ban, asked the court to allow the legal challenges to proceed.

Mosier argued that the Supreme Court — in the Hawaii case — rejected a preliminary injunction to block the travel ban, but did not decide the merits of the constitutional claims made in the lawsuits. The plaintiffs argued that the travel ban violates the First Amendment's Establishment Clause, which prohibits the government from favoring one religion over another.

Mosier said the lawsuits should be allowed to proceed so the plaintiffs can gather evidence on their claim that the travel ban is rooted in anti-Muslim bias and that the Trump administration's claim of national security concerns is a pretext for the policy.

But the three 4th Circuit judges who heard the case — all nominated by Republican presidents — repeatedly questioned Mosier about the Supreme Court's finding that there is a plausible rationale to support the travel ban.

The ban applies to travelers from Iran, Libya, Somalia, Syria and Yemen. It also affects two non-Muslim countries, keeping out travelers from North Korea and some Venezuelan government officials and their families. In January, the administration imposed new entry restrictions — but not a total travel ban — on travelers from six additional countries, including Myanmar, Eritrea, Kyrgyzstan, Nigeria, Sudan and Tanzania.

Trump has said the ban is aimed at making the U.S. safer from potentially hostile foreigners.

Joshua Waldman, an appellate attorney with the U.S. Department of Justice, argued that the Supreme Court "rejected precisely the same arguments" being made by the challengers in the Maryland cases.

U.S. District Court Judge Theodore Chuang had ruled that the lawsuits should move forward to the discovery phase, when the plaintiffs have said they would seek records from the Trump administration on the origins of the ban and how it has been enforced over the last three years.

Federal appeals courts — including the 4th Circuit — had upheld rulings from federal judges who blocked the travel ban from taking effect. But the Supreme Court came to a different conclusion.

In a 5-4 ruling, Chief Justice John Roberts wrote that the travel ban was well within U.S. presidents' considerable authority over immigration and responsibility for keeping the nation safe.

E97 Show Notes: Free Cities aren’t free (they cost a buck ‘o five)

Welcome to SHOW NOTES, where we provide you with links and other info regarding some of the ever-important side topics we discussed on the show. Check them out here at davosfingers.com after every episode!

TEAM AMERICA: WORLD POLICE

Most of you are hip enough (unlike Matt) to know where “Freedom isn’t free, it costs a buck o’ five” comes from. A crude, marionet-wielding satire created by the South Park guys? Sign me up yesterday! Errr… in 2004… which was when I was living in Brazil. That partly explains why I had never heard of it. Or I’m just making excuses at this point. Either way, I can’t get that blasted “freedom isn’t free” chorus out of my head now. Curses. CURSES.

TUSK

For the first 15 years of his career, Kevin Smith found his lane and mostly stayed in it. Then came Red State, which Scad and I both consider a major win. But then, out of the depths of an off-the-rails conversation between Kevin Smith and Scott Mosier on SModcast, Tusk was born. The comedy-horror about a young man discovering his inner walrus (okay it’s a lot darker than that) is unsettling and somehow awesome, anchored by the enchanting performance of the late Michael Parks. In the end, it’s a theory you can take to the bank: the mazemakers of Lorath were destroyed by a Justin Long-led contingent of walrus-men.

OF COURSE! BUT MAYBE...

Feel like cringing today? Watch this Louis CK bit from his 2013 special Oh My God. One reason I’ve always been a fan of CK’s comedy (if not him as a person) is his crude way of making points that make you go, “huh…”. If the Valyrians (and their descendants) ever heard, “How did they build those pyramids? They just threw human death and suffering at them until they were finished”, they’d either be nodding vigorously, or looking slightly uncomfortable.

BILLY ON THE STREET

Thanks to a delightful question from Bloodrider Linsea, we spent a probably-too-long-but-not-surprising-for-us amount of time talking about Parks & Recreation characters, with Scad recommending the hilarious Billy on the Street series by the Craig Middlebrooks-portraying Billy Eichner. In the show, Billy walks around the streets of New York asking questions to randos, like if they’d have sex with Paul Rudd (you know what Matt’s answer would be).

Was there anything else we talked about on the show that made you throw the “WTF” flag? Drop us a line and let us know!

RECIPE: Sausage & Mushroom Stuffing/Dressing (from The Short Stack Cookbook by Nick Fauchald and Kaitlyn Goalen)

Stuffing is like pizza (and some of life’s other great pleasures): There’s an endless supply of perfectly decent encounters, very few “bad” ones, and even fewer that are “most amazing ever.”

In our attempt to make the best stuffing you’ll ever have, our version pulls a few tricks. We start by making a flavorful soup with double-strength chicken (or turkey) stock and browned vegetables. When it comes time to combine the soup with the bread, we add a little bit at a time to ensure we hit that sweet spot between dry and soggy, then add some brown butter and a mix of sautéed mushrooms to boost the dish’s meaty, roasted flavors. If you’re serving stuffing with roasted turkey or chicken, use as many leftover scraps and trimmings from the bird as you can gather: Leftover fat can (and should) replace some of the butter; freshly made stock always eclipses canned; and sautéed gizzards—if the gravy hasn’t already called dibs—will make your stuffing taste as though it was cooked inside the bird, just like in the old days. (Technically, stuffing is “dressing” if it’s not cooked in cavitatem, but “dressing” has always sounded so WASP-y to us.)

1 1-pound (455-g) sourdough loaf

4 cups (960 ml) chicken or turkey stock, preferably homemade

1 cup (240 ml) dry vermouth or white wine

8 tablespoons (1 stick/115 g) unsalted butter, divided, plus more for the baking dish

1 pound (455 g) Italian sausage (hot, sweet or a mix), casings removed

1 large yellow onion, diced

1 small fennel bulb, diced

3 celery stalks, diced

1 teaspoon celery seeds, optional

3 garlic cloves, finely chopped

1 tablespoon thyme leaves

1 tablespoon finely chopped sage

¼ cup (13 g) finely chopped parsley

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

8 ounces (225 g) mixed mushrooms, stems removed, cut into 1-inch pieces (about 4 cups)

Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C) and grease a 9-by-11-inch baking dish. Using a serrated knife, cut the bottom crust off the loaf and discard or save it and use it to make bread crumbs. Cut the loaf into 1-inch slices, then tear the bread into jagged bite-size pieces (you can also cut the bread into neat, uniform cubes, but we like our stuffing looking rugged). Spread the bread on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until it’s dry and lightly toasted, stirring a couple of times, about 30 minutes. (If you’re making this a day ahead, you can skip the baking step and let the bread dry out on the counter overnight.) Transfer the bread to the largest mixing bowl you own. Turn the oven up to 375°F (190°C).

Meanwhile, bring the stock and vermouth to a boil in a saucepan and reduce by half, about 10 to 15 minutes. Turn off the heat.

Melt 4 tablespoons (½ stick/55 g) of butter in a large skillet over high heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it into small pieces with a metal spatula, until browned and cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the meat to the bowl with the bread. Lower the heat to medium-high and add the onion, fennel, celery, celery seeds, if using, and garlic to the pan; cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened, about 7 minutes. Stir in the thyme and sage. Add the reduced stock, bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and strain the broth into a measuring cup (you should have 2 to 2½ cups/480 to 600 ml at this point) and pour the vegetables over the bread. Add the parsley and toss well. Season the broth with salt and pepper.

In the same large skillet, melt the remaining 4 tablespoons (½ stick/115 g) of butter over medium-high heat. Continue cooking the butter until it just begins to brown and smell nutty, about 2 to 3 minutes, then add the mushrooms. Turn the heat to high and sauté until the mushrooms begin to brown, 3 to 4 minutes; season with salt. Pour the mushrooms over the bread mixture. Add half of the reserved broth and toss well; if the bread soaks up all of the liquid (it should), add a splash more and toss again, adding more broth until the bread stops soaking it up.

Transfer the stuffing to the baking dish, cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking until the top is golden brown and crisp, 25 to 30 minutes longer. Let the stuffing cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Welcome to Poetry Friday, the visual edition!  Do you recognize the photographed pieces above? 

My exploration of grief began with the words that became the title of this poem, which led me to the familiar monopoly game piece.  I thought about incorporating one of the tokens in my poem (wheelbarrow), but decided to cut the stanza out.   

Grief is a house on a cul-de-sac

“Close your eyes and be still, now.  I’m going to give you a memory of a rainbow.” Lois Lowry, The Giver

*****

There is no monopoly

on sorrow.

Its properties are diverse.

 *

A double bind,

misfortune

casts a bittersweet shadow.

 *

There is no “pass go”—

no $200 salary to collect

as you round a corner.

 *

No trade

replaces

the loss.

 *

It is always

there

 *

a memory with many tokens.

Copyright   2017 Lisa Coughlin

The stanza I ended up cutting was:

Grief is carried in the heart:

(a heavy load

                in a wheelbarrow).

I left the wheelbarrow token in my photographs, though, as it brings to mind the stanza I cut and symbolizes how grief can feel.

Thank you for sharing your unique takes on the prompts I shared.  If you didn’t see it mentioned in Mary Lee’s poetry post last week, I encourage you to check out Amy Krouse Rosenthal’s Project 1,2,3.  Amy’s creative work has long inspired me and lifted my spirits.  After her passing, Amy’s daughter, Paris, continued Project 1,2,3.  Amy’s visual poem When Life Gives You Lemon Drops can be found here.

***** You can find more poems elsewhere (nod to The Giver -- I just read this book for the first time, and felt it connected to the subject of grief).

Compelling interviews with notables in avant-garde cinema offer insights into moving image art--its creative processes, formative influences, and hidden psychic effects. Through interviews with George Manupelli, Chick Strand, Tom Gunning, Lynne Sachs, Jay Rosenblatt, Martha Colburn, Evan Meaney, Mike Hoolboom, Robert Nelson, and Nina Menkes,

Strange Questions

links powerful personal stories with the contemporary media-scape.

Questions addressed in this collection include:

What role does the audience play in the creative process?

Can art-making be egoless?

Is perception reality?

What is the role of intention in the creative process?

What counts as storytelling? Are experimental filmmakers telling stories a different way or doing something completely different?

What was the motive of the cave artists?

What is more important: conviction or compromise?

Is ambition based more on fear or joy?

Accolades from award-winning experimental filmmakers:

"Fialka is a damn good interviewer. His questions are sometimes so precise that it tickles and sometimes so grand and thought provoking that one feels on the edge of a new spiritual awareness." --Lynne Sachs

"Fialka asks unexpected Questions about important Ideas, eliciting Answers that can surprise even those doing the answering. My Interview with him taught me something about myself; it was a Gift." --David Gatten"Fialka's was the funniest interview I have ever had. He has developed a very wise way of triggering thoughts in the interviewee." --Leighton Pierce"Fialka's interview had me buzzing inside with thoughts and memories that his engaging questions set in motion. Super stimulation." --Larry Gottheim"I thank Gerry Fialka so much. I really enjoyed his interview with me, especially his unjaded joie de vivre, hearty laugh, and endless pursuit of knowledge sparked by social curiosity." --Phil Solomon."Gerry Fialka is a master interviewer. Working out of his natural sympathies and his erudition, Gerry cannily and cheerfully guides his interviewees along a path of Socratic inquiry that goes far deeper than the average Q & A and possibly deeper than the interviewee thought himself/herself capable of going. With Gerry at the helm, the journey really is about the destination and not just the journeying." --Fred Worden"Fialka is a meteor shower in the contemporary media arts discourse. He's blowing my mind." -- Craig Baldwin
