The high court allowed President Donald Trump’s travel ban to take effect in June, but required that the government continue to admit individuals from the six countries named in the order who have a significant connection to the United States.

The Department of State originally concluded that certain relatives of U.S. citizens from the affected countries possessed a “significant connection” but that others, like grandparents and cousin, did not. U.S. District Judge Derrick Watson, the same judge that stayed the revised order in March, modified State’s guidance and required consular officers to admit any person from the affected countries with a first-degree relation in the United States.

Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, and Neil Gorsuch noted they would have stayed Watson’s order in its entirety.

Trump really effed up and weakened the president's authority to control the borders and exclude people from entering.

I guess that how one reads such issues, depends on if their principle interest is national security, or finding fault with our President.

The ban stands, save for some specific exceptions. Mark one down for national security, residents' safety.

[To-Whose-Benefit?]

Trump really effed up and weakened the president's authority to control the borders and exclude people from entering.

Excuse me?

By acting within the scope of the Law to EO the Travel Ban?

And then an Activist SCOTUS decides their Agenda over rides the actual Law?

[INVAR]

I'll ask this question again (although it is becoming rhetorical) - does Trump NOT have CINC Authority to declare those areas national security threats and close all immigration from those nations?

Where does SCOTUS get authority to decide matters of national security not legislated from Congress?

Or do we only accept the existence of an Imperial Presidency when Liberal policies and agendas are pushed through by E.O.?
