First: Blocked Travel Bans. Next: Open Borders?

While blocking the temporary travel bans issued by President Trump on foreigners entering the United States from a small number of Muslim nations, the lower federal courts have used arguments that could be adopted by the current (or a future) Supreme Court to reinterpret the Constitution in a way that, effectively, would open the nation's borders to immigration beyond the control of either Congress or the president.

The Supreme Court (following the lead of lower federal courts in some instances; taking the lead in other instances) has a long record of gradually reinterpreting the Constitution in a series of cases over the course of several years. In general, the Court introduces seemingly minor (but in fact, highly significant) changes to constitutional law in a few cases, and the Court then cites those earlier cases (and not the Constitution) as the authority for imposing major changes in a later case. In other words, the Court cites itself as the authority for its decisions. The death penalty, abortion, and gay marriage are three of the more prominent examples where the Court has used this technique to radically transform American law and impose Progressive-liberal ideology on the entire nation, without a shred of support for the change to be found in the Constitution's text or history.

Now, with regard to President Trump's second travel ban (which replaced the first one), the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit has claimed that it likely violates the Constitution; specifically, the First Amendment's establishment clause, which prohibits the government from establishing a religion.

We have to hope Justice Kennedy doesn’t give us another horrible decision before he retires. God help us.

Let this 9th Circus overthrow stand and America is no longer a sovereign nation.

Congress created this court and has absolute authority over it so if you want to correct this travesty, speak to the traitors that created and supports it.
