"Carter orders 50,000 Iranian students in US to report to immigration office with view to deporting those in violation of their visas. On 27 December 1979, US appeals court allows deportation of Iranian students found in violation."
Can you imagine the outcry if Trump suggested such a thing today?
Whether now or in a few years after many more attacks, America is going to have an even more difficult hurdle to deal with. First Amendment religious protection for a religion that is doubling as a political movement that is openly working for the destruction of the nation, from within the nation and from without. Most Americans, almost all I would venture to guess, would not agree to the Constitution as a suicide pact. Most who are arguing in favor of it now are merely arguing against a candidate that they hate - for whatever reasons they hate him. I hope that when this far tougher, more difficult issue is faced, that we are past all this Trump stuff - derangement or madness or justified hatred - whatever position you are occupying today. Because the fate of America may well depend on unity.
