The U.S. Supreme Court has taken up the case and in the interim, re-instated key components. This and the pending retirement of Justice Kennedy…WINNING
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court is letting a limited version of the Trump administration ban on travel from six mostly Muslim countries to take effect, a victory for President Donald Trump in the biggest legal controversy of his young presidency.
The court said Monday the ban on visitors from Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen could be enforced as long as they lack a “credible claim of a bona fide relationship with a person or entity in the United States.” The justices will hear arguments in the case in October.
My understanding is that the reinstatement until fully ruled was unanimous, which is huge in itself.
Partisan Fed judge rulings aside, there are some thorny issues that if this ruling is blocked will significantly restrict the Executive Branch from similar orders in the future.
Which Cuts both ways, so conjecture is the Supreme Court will handle the final ruling very cautiously.
Handing the White House a huge judicial victory, the U.S. Supreme Court on Monday ruled in favor of President Trump’s travel ban affecting residents of six majority-Muslim countries.
The justices said the policy can take full effect despite multiple legal challenges against it that haven’t yet made their way through the judicial system.
The ban applies to people from Syria, Chad, Iran, Libya, Somalia and Yemen.
My take: bleeding heart pro-immigration wonks are soiling themselves as we speak. Pass the toilet paper.
