The ACLU said they'd sue, then saw the order and said it was meaningless and that they weren't even going to bother taking time to type, which I found kind of hilarious.
Executive orders are the one thing he's actually done so far and he's now doing them SO wrong the ACLU is like 'yeah, we're not even getting up from our chair that one is so dumb and ineffectual.'

I thought the president couldn't be sued for actions taken during his presidency. Or is that just criminal charges couldn't be brought against him?
It seems that Trump is stretching the "freedom of religion" clause of the 1st amendment at the expense of that amendment's "establishment" clause. Hobby Lobby expanded this type of concession, and with Neil Gorsuch sitting on the court, no telling what new "freedoms" the religious right will get.
Edited to correct spelling of Gorsuch's last name.

The Christian Right is fond of accusing science of being a "religion", in order to promote the idea of Biblical creationism being taught in public school science classes. So, how about we scientists accept that idea, and claim exemption from taxes for religious purposes?
