[Mrs. Don-o]

Mousing around on google, I was unable to find the info that it was a 7-2 vote. My husband heard it was 9-0, with some concurring justices dissenting only in part, inasmuch as they wanted the WHOLE ban reinstated without conditions.

Can you give me a source? I'm interested.

Thanks.

I’ve read that Thomas, Alison and Gorsuch wanted the whole ban in place because they’re worried what the court has just decided will be unworkable:

Justice Thomas noted that the ruling was difficult to interpret.

“I fear that the court’s remedy will prove unworkable,” he wrote.

“Today’s compromise will burden executive officials with the task of deciding — on peril of contempt — whether individuals from the six affected nations who wish to enter the United States have a sufficient connection to a person or entity in this country.

“The compromise also will invite a flood of litigation until this case is finally resolved on the merits, as parties and courts struggle to determine what exactly constitutes a ‘bona fide relationship,’ who precisely has a ‘credible claim’ to that relationship, and whether the claimed relationship was formed ‘simply to avoid’ the executive order.”

Your husband may be right. The 7 - 2 vote was mentioned on another thread, but the decision posted on the Supreme Court's website is per curium, with the only dissent coming from three justices who would have upheld the ban in its entirety.
