http://dailycaller.com/2017/09/25/supreme-court-cancels-travel-ban-arguments/The U.S. Supreme Court removed the travel ban case from its October oral arguments calendar Monday, after President Donald Trump issued a proclamation implementing new travel restrictions.
Trump’s issued his proclamation Sunday, hours before his original executive order on refugees and migrants was set to expire. The directive severely restricts travel from eight countries, including Chad, Iran, Iraq, Libya, North Korea, Syria, Yemen and Somalia.
The justices were originally scheduled to hear the case Oct. 10. Monday’s order cancels the oral argument and orders the parties in the case — the U.S. government and a coalition of Democratic state attorneys general and civil rights groups — to submit new briefs as to whether the original travel ban case is now “moot.” It does not dismiss the case altogether.
