quote:"Muslim ban", in quotations, is to suggest that even though that's not exactly what's going on, that's what it is in all intents and purposes. Which is true, as the stated goal from Mr. Trump is to stop Islamic terrorists. Never mind that not a one terrorist attack has been perpetrated by any citizen of the affected countries to date. So, I think the plan itself is what deserves the "epitome of ignorance" slight.

However, I think Hawaiian lawmakers should just make a statement in protest of this stupidity, rather than fight it legally.
I am amazed how people of such low information, i.e. situational awareness, such as yourself and others in the general public, would second-guess those who not only have infinitely-more information available to them, as well as the actual responsibility for protecting the people of Puna and beyond. Your parroting of snippets and factoids doesn't qualify as rational decision-making. If constitutes nothing but background jabber.
The government and people, of, Hawaii should let those far-better qualified and positioned than themselves, carry out the responsibilities assigned to them by the Constitution by virtue of the Office they hold.
