Today, in a per curiam ruling, the Supreme Court restored the vast majority of the Trump administration’s temporary travel ban — including the temporary ban on refugee entry. The lower courts’ injunctions remain only in the narrowest of categories — where the person seeking entry has a “bona fide relationships with a person or entity in the United States.”
And what is a “bona fide relationship?” The court’s guidelines were strict: For individuals, a close familial relationship is required. A foreign national who wishes to enter the United States to live with or visit a family member
Notably absent from the court’s decision is any analysis of Trump’s campaign statements. Moreover, the only dissenters from the opinion (justices Gorsuch, Alito, and Thomas) wanted the injunctions vacated in their entirety.
For now, the constitutional and statutory primacy of the executive and legislative branches over national security and immigration has been restored.
The judges in the courts below have been celebrated as heroic resistance figures. Yet now even the Supreme Court’s most liberal justices have rejected the lower courts’ overreach.
The resistance’s greatest legal victory has been gutted, and not even Ruth Bader Ginsburg accepted its most extreme arguments.

It’s like the guy who called the probate lawyer’s office to confirm that he was representing the estate of a certain woman, deceased.
After several weeks of this, the lawyer finally had enough: “You’ve called several times. Each time you call I confirm she is the deceased, my client.
What’s your game pal?”
“I’m her ex-husband. I just like hearing it.”
It’s like President Trump.
We all know that he’s President Trump.
We just like saying President Trump.
President Trump.
Do we get to boot the flood of refugees who have entered from the day of the Ninth Circus ruling until today?
I do not understand the “close familial relationship” loophole.
So if a terrorist slipped through the cracks during the Bush/Obama administrations (highly probable), they can sponsor their terrorist brother, sister, cousin, etc.?
Same here, this will do just fine.
The fact that people ignore such blatant hate and violence disguised as a religion.
I’d never read those words before with attribution and my blood ran cold. The layout of the graphic is very effective.
what was the vote?
Starting the week with yet another WIN. Liberal heads will be spinning and may explode soon. Suicide watch for CNN, MSNBC, Hollywood??
Tune in for the next Ramadan Bombathon next year.
Guaranteed to be a killer!
No problem.
This is a great news story to be breaking FR records.
“You got a problem with that?!”
That sounds like a line Robert Dinero would say if he joined Anfifa. :-)

Not even close. Do you not remember how many times Arafat “died” on this forum?
Then he really did die and there were 30 or 40 more.
Yay!
