Supreme Court upholds Trump travel ban
« on: July 26, 2018, 04:31:50 pm »
The Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that President Trump has the authority to ban travelers from certain majority-Muslim countries if he thinks it is necessary to protect the United States, a victory in what has been a priority since Trump’s first weeks in office and a major affirmation of presidential power.

The vote was 5 to 4, with conservatives in the majority and Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. finding that a string of unprecedented comments and warnings from Trump about Muslims did not erode the president’s vast powers to control entry into this country.

The ruling was one of a string of 5-to-4 decisions this term in which the justices on the right reasserted themselves, after the addition of Trump-nominated Justice Neil M. Gorsuch last year restored a conservative majority.

Gorsuch has been such a great addition to the Court.  I think his presence has actually given courage to Roberts to become the Justice we thought he was when he was nominated.

Breyer and the three witches no longer control the Court, which is absolutely fabulous.

Trump did not really need this verdict to protect the US.

He swore an oath to do it, regardless of whatever the judges say.  To do otherwise would make his actions unconstitutional.

I know there are several libs on this site that believe the Supreme Court decisions are tantamount to the laws of God, but patriots know better.

It, the ruling, was the only logical outcome.

How many Months have been wasted, hot air and venom spewed over this which was plainly 100pct legal from the start?

There was never any basis for any Court to block the ban to begin with.

Didn't Trump's travel ban have a limit on it anyways?  If I recall, it was only for 90 days.  Seems to me that time passed awhile ago.

I enjoyed the story so much I forgot the difference between June and July.  I don't know about the limit.

Well no, because the lower court blocked it from implementation.  It never started.
