  Re: Legality

  on 162 Tech Companies Tell Appeals Court That Trump's 2nd Travel Ban Is Illegal
  You're completely right. The Constitution does give the President virtually unfettered power in this area. Just about the only thing that fetters the President's power is the Constitution itself.
  
  So consider what it means that the President, twice, managed to foul up that single limitation.

  You might consider that this isn't just about people as it is about government. Specifically, that the government cannot institute policies that violate the Constitution. You might notice that it wasn't in immigrant that brought suit in Hawaii, but someone in Hawaii who had standing by demonstrating harm by the executive order.
  
  So, the first step to understanding what's going on is to stop focusing on the rights of the people, and start focusing on the inherent Constitutional limitations of the government.

  This seems quite easy to resolve

  on Comedian Could Face 3 Years In German (Not Turkish!) Jail For Mocking Notoriously Thin-Skinned Turkish President
  The comedian should be marched out on national television and made to recall all of the things he accuse Edrogan of doing, things like “repressing minorities, kicking Kurds and slapping Christians while watching child porn”.
  
  He should then be required to apologize for accusing Edrogan of watching child porn.

  Re: Of course they have to be printed out.

  That seems unnecessary. Surely their printer will accept black paper.
