Mormon polygamists in prison, in 1889. Seated in the middle, with a short white beard and holding flowers, is George Q. Cannon, first counselor in the First Presidency of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It was his birthday.  (Wikimedia Commons public domain)

And yes, I recognize that Mr. Trump’s executive order — especially in its second iteration — isn’t strictly a “Muslim ban.”  But Mr. Trump aspired to the imposition of such a ban, and Rudy Giuliani freely admits that the first version of the executive order was an attempt to move as far in that direction as they thought the Constitution would allow them to get away with.  And this second version is an attempt to get as much of the first version past the courts as possible.
