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.

Soreloserman’s are weeping across the nation . . .
How can Hussein Obama's peaceful Muslims kill infidels if they aren't allowed into the US? Europe is already flooded with Muslims, Americans are easy targets for those who want to get Islam's greatest rewards.
Great news-——I never did get how those bastards could stop the President’s order——it made no sense to me.

Chilling
The Trump administration is free to conduct its global review to determine whether foreign governments provide sufficient information about foreign nationals applying for entry to the U.S., it’s free for now to impose its new refugee caps, it’s free to temporarily pause entry from Iran, Syria, Libya, Yemen, Sudan, and Somalia, and it’s free to pause refugee entry (unless refugees and applicants for entry have a “bona fide” U.S. relationship.) That’s a win for Trump.
The court still placed an unwarranted restriction on the president’s constitutional authority.
It is not the court’s constitutional duty to micro-manage the president.
Only to determine the constitutionality of a law or action.

This speaks to DJT’s persistence and drive, and never say die attitude. He’s not afraid of a setback, he just keeps on coming. It’s a great day for a great man.
Maybe many duplicate posts but they are FUN to read as many times as they appear. Big win!!
How is this “chilling”??
WINNING!!!!
Those lower-court liberal judgy-wudgies are totally bogus, and their “Resistance” is futile!!!!
But I still want a REAL muslim travel ban, and want to see the muslim Brotherhood outlawed, and all its mosques and associations (e.g., CAiR) closed!!!!
“Moreover, the only dissenters from the opinion (justices Gorsuch, Alito, and Thomas) wanted the injunctions vacated in their entirety.”
With the hoped-for retirements coming, we may be just two appointments away from returning to the Rule of Law.
Earlieer today I was thinking something similar. He is focused only on the results in everythiing he does. All the crap along the way are minor annoyances; bumps in his road to success.
This is one of those days the Left has to be avoiding the news.
