It will be interesting to see if this one actually holds up in court.

The problem with the old one was the banning of people who had already gone through vetting and had valid visas. It also addressed the Syrian ban which if anyone knows anything about refugeee vetting for the US is still completely unnecessary but it's no longer indefinite.
This does target Muslims for sure but ultimately in this case they aren't affecting the lives of current citizens or residents so it will likely be OK. Completely pointless but fine.
