The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday dismissed its remaining case against President Trump's travel ban, leaving the court's calendar devoid of travel ban cases until any challenges related to Mr. Trump's third and latest travel ban make their way up to the highest court.
The Supreme Court dropped the case, first filed in Hawaii over the second version of the travel ban, because the Trump administration's 120-day restrictions on travelers from some Muslim-majority nations and on refugees expired on Tuesday.

CERTIORARI – SUMMARY DISPOSITION
16-1540 TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF U.S., ET AL. V. HAWAII, ET AL.
We granted certiorari in this case to resolve a challenge to the temporary suspension of entry of aliens and refugees under Section 2(c) and Section 6 of Executive Order No. 13,780. Because those provisions of the Order have “expired by [their] own terms,” the appeal no longer presents a “live case or controversy.” Burke v. Barnes, 479 U. S. 361, 363 (1987). Following our established practice in such cases, the judgment is therefore vacated, and the case is remanded to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit with instructions to dismiss as moot the challenge to Executive Order No. 13,780. United States v. Munsingwear, Inc.,
340 U. S. 36, 39 (1950).
We express no view on the merits.
Justice Sotomayor dissents from the order vacating the judgment below and would dismiss the writ of certiorari as improvidently granted.
They tossed it but bypassed ruling on the underlying issue.
The wiseass latina was right in her dissent.
I’m not too prideful to admit I don’t get whether this is good or bad? Someone help me cut through the legal jargon.
So it is replaced by extreme vetting...you still can’t vet taqiyya...I sure hope this procedure is bullet proof.
