SCOTUS 17-965 Trump v. Hawaii June 26, 2018
Breitbart ^ | 26 October 2018 | Windy

Posted on 10/26/2018 4:11:37 PM PDT by Windflier

The Supreme Court ruled in favor of President Trump and his immigration policy across the board in a 5-4 decision on Tuesday, holding that the permanent entry restrictions ... codified in Presidential Proclamation 9645 is fully consistent with Congress’s Immigration and Nationality Act as well as the Establishment Clause of the U.S. Constitution.

"...admission and exclusion of foreign nationals is a “fundamental sovereign attribute exercised by the Government’s political departments largely immune from judicial control..."

The case is Trump v. Hawaii, No. 17-965 in the Supreme Court of the United States.

“8USC 1182(f) and 1185(a) By its terms, §1182(f) exudes deference to the President in every clause. It entrusts to the President the decisions whether and when to suspend entry, whose entry to suspend, for how long, and on what conditions. It thus vests the President with “ample power” to impose entry restrictions in addition to those elsewhere enumerated in the INA.”

A fellow Freeper posted the above quoted text from this decision on another thread today. I thought it was important enough to re-post it as a stand alone thread, due to its relevance to the impending crisis at the border.

Thank you. In case we didn’t understand why the Democrats were behaving like complete idiots over the confirmation of Kavanaugh. They understood that their radical policy would be stopped in it’s tracks if we had a Supreme Court that was willing to recognize the powers of the Executive, the Congress, and the Constitutional framework of the Federal Government. That is anathema to what the Democrats hope to do and we have now put a stop to their insane ideas.

That was before Kavanaugh was on the court, and Trump will likely get three more new Justices approved before he leaves office in 2025.

We'll be alright.

Before him, it would have been a 8-justice court; no?

My purpose for posting this article, is to highlight the fact that the President has it within his discretion and authority, to legally bar the government from granting asylum to the alien horde approaching the southern border.

If he issues an executive order suspending asylum grants, there will be no housing, no food, no hearings, and no ENTRY by the horde, nor any one else our Border Patrol apprehends.

It means the cancellation of ‘catch and release’. It means the US military can turn the invaders around and say, ‘Vamanos Muchachos!’

That is why those justices were appointed. Well, maybe not Breyer, but certainly Buzzy, Kagan,vand Sotomayor.

Because we have 4 ‘Justices’ who rule in favor of their Party, not the Constitution or the Law.

Just goes to show... Democrats are lawless, even at the highest levels of government.

Yes, but this decision was rendered while Kennedy was still on the court, thus 5-4.

Can't be, because Kavanaugh was sworn in Oct. 6th, 2018.

Also the decision would have been a 4-4 decision as Kennedy's last day on the court was July 31, 2018. Even if he had been there, it's anybody's guess as to how he would have voted.

The decision was rendered in June, prior to Kennedy's retirement, hence the 5-4 ruling.

Well I was mislead thinking that this article was posted at Brietbart today, because you supplied today’s date. I see now that you state that in another of your your posts, and in an even later post you state what your intention was for this thread.

Now you see why the Dems and Marxist State Media were so set on derailing Kavanaugh .... without Kavanaugh the ruling would have been 4-4 and the 9th Circus upholding the whacked out Hawaiian judge would have stood .... the same for all other cases for as long as the Dems and Marxist State Media could have delayed.
