Victory for President Trump:
President Donald Trump won a big victory Monday in the Supreme Court, which upheld his “extreme vetting” on immigration into the United States. The dispute over the policy stemmed from its application to six majority-Muslim countries. Lower federal courts in California, Hawaii, and Maryland ruled the ban was unconstitutional.
The ban was originally aimed at Sudan, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Syria, and Yemen, all states with serious terror-related issues. In September, however, the White House reversed the policy by taking Sudan off the list, and adding North Korea, Venezuela, and Chad to it.

All in all, seven SCOTUS members voted to uphold the ban while only two voted against it: Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Sonia Sotomayor. In other words, it was as unanimous a decision as possible with a court that's internally so divided between liberals, conservatives, and moderates.

But I'm beginning to believe that the message is being sent to the lower courts that the SCOTUS is on the President's side in this matter and any attempt to interfere with the POTUS' authority will be smacked down. Please stop wasting the Court's time!
Fake News. Only the INJUNCTION against Trump’s ban was affected, not the legal question it raised. But SCOTUS took command of the case by ‘supervising’ it over the Appellate Court until it can be heard.
Ahhhh....... a truth arises amongst all the hyped cheering
WINNING! Hahaha.
The global communists didn’t make a peep when the Obama Admin put a travel ban up.
