    Many people incorrectly think the underlying law provides for waivers. It doesn't.https://twitter.com/justinamash/status/820019748591247361 …

    It violates the Rule of Law. Laws must apply equally. If Congress doesn't like a law, then that law should be changed, not waived. https://twitter.com/pat_defdaily/status/820017755168657409 …

        Won't be the last time the law proves to be barely a speed bump in post-truth, no-ethics America.

        if it's a bad law, we ask the govt to change it. I agree that if a law tells us to do evil,we should still do good

        you ask for freedom? Slavery is slavery regardless of how you dress it up. We should not follow bad laws.

        We need to change the law and not grant waivers if we disagree with it.

        The House and Senate passing it and a Presidential signature counts as a new law no?

        Does a different law allow for waivers of this law? Is there any legitimate basis for the waiver? I'm guessing no.

        FYI. Not saying you'd ever go but there is a counter party to the inauguration I think in Miami. I'll probably go!
