    My snide comment was going to be “Richard forgot to take his meds.”

    I look forward to podcasts which include him, due to his extensive legal background and level-headed presentation.  However, he seemed to get almost emotional in this one.  The word rant seems an appropriate characterization to me.  In the future, I hope he leaves the emotionalism to the Democrats and their media sycophants.

    I think he becomes more unhinged when attacking right-wingers than left-wingers because his entire life is surrounded by leftists.

    Meanwhile, most people like the ban and it won’t likely hurt Trump politically.

    to call for Trump’s resignation is the height of foolishness. His so called Muslim ban  was foolish but not as dangerous as the professor implies. For Trump to resign would add more disrumption to an already disruptive process, and see no gain.

    I’m curious, why is it okay for conservatives to have principles regarding immigration and then stick to them, but with libertarians its always a “rant” or a “screed”?

    Provide proof for the bolded portion, please?
