[crossfire]

While our votes in Washington State might not count for much in the Presidential Elections, our Congress-critters can still give us a voice.

I'm with you on this one. A religious registry sets a dangerous precedent and could have tragic consequences even in future administrations.

To me, this type of legislation is akin to "repeal Obamacare" without offering an alternative (to the idea that we are at war with no nation states, but are battling radical Islamic Jihadists).

First amendment. Its unconstitutional to discriminate based on religion, or stop and search. The founding fathers were avoiding religious persecution so they wrote this stuff in.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

This isn't the holy wars, we are not in war with Muslims.

True to a degree, but who do you identify as US fighting against?

Terrorism and extremism for humans doesn't really have borders and doesn't have to be religious in nature either.

********, largely, why do you ask?

A Muslim registry wasn't even a campaign promise from Trump. He's clearly moderating on other issues, would be strange for him to push forward with this one. I'm pretty sure he'll drop it, if they are even pushing it to begin with.

Some people we sold weapons too.

It's a nice gesture.
But I'll wager @Quagmire's monkey that the Trump admin will never push it.

You have access to Quagmire's monkey?

He charges only a dollar a minute for access.

Woah. Things have changed!

Well, monkey maintenance has gone downhill lately.

It would a nice safeguard against possible future administrations.

It's not a safeguard when trumped by federal law.
But it sends a peremptory message.....just in case.
States wield some power, as we see with Obama's
stance on enforcing laws against MJ use, ie, he's
hands off where states legalized it.

It's the Federal Congress-critter introducing the Bill to the House, and it would apply to the Federal government and its branches and agencies. (Check the article.)

Oh, I see now.
Would you please slap me?
(Not as punishment, but so that I'll start firing on all cylinders.)
