WASHINGTON (AP) — The Latest on an appeals court ruling against the Trump administration's travel ban (all times local):

5:40 p.m.

Attorney General Jeff Sessions says the Justice Department will ask the Supreme Court to review an appeals court ruling that blocked President Donald Trump's travel ban.

The 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Thursday ruled 10-3 against the travel ban. The decision bars the administration from suspending new visas for visitors from Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen.

Sessions says the Justice Department "strongly disagrees" and will continue to vigorously defend Trump's order. He says the court's ruling blocks Trump's "efforts to strengthen this country's national security."

Aye.  I hope they take it up quickly.

The courts don't care about the nations security.  They just care about making political rulings which score them points with the liberal media and their liberal buddies.

Many of the courts have been stacked with liberals over the past several election cycles ... however, SCOTUS is supposed to interpret the law to decide whether or not it is Constitutional...nothing more...it cannot (or at least should not) rewrite law or rule based on partisanship. Hopefully, this is where Gorsuch comes in.  Does the president have the authority under the Constitution to ban travel to the U.S. from particular areas?  At least in my mind that is all ... the law has absolutely nothing to do with religion which is from what I'm understanding the lower courts are objecting to.
