The Supreme Court on Tuesday upheld the Trump travel Ban overturning a liberal judge in Hawaii who was playing pretend president.
Liberals increasingly are in favor of open borders to anyone who wants to enter the United States. The Supreme Court disagreed with this lunacy on Tuesday.
Trump’s travel ban could result in Muslim immigration to the US to be reduced by as much as 21%.
It was a typical 5-4 decision.
More from The Hill:
In a scathing dissent on Tuesday, Sotomayor said the court’s majority, led by Chief Justice John Roberts, blindly accepted the government’s misguided invitation to set aside problematic comments Trump made before and after taking office.
“Ultimately, what began as a policy explicitly ‘calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States’ has since morphed into a ‘Proclamation’ putatively based on national-security concerns,” she said. “But this new window dressing cannot conceal an unassailable fact: the words of the President and his advisers create the strong perception that the Proclamation is contaminated by impermissible discriminatory animus against Islam and its followers.”
Sotomayor described in detail how Trump pledged on the campaign trail to ban Muslims from entering the U.S. and then criticized the Department of Justice for submitting a “watered down, politically correct version” after the president’s first order was struck down by the courts after he took office.
“Instead, he has continued to make remarks that a reasonable observer would view as an unrelenting attack on the Muslim religion and its followers,” she said. “Given President Trump’s failure to correct the reasonable perception of his apparent hostility toward the Islamic faith, it is unsurprising that the President’s lawyers have, at every step in the lower courts, failed in their attempts to launder the Proclamation of its discriminatory taint.”
Ultra liberal Sonia Sotomayor was appointed by Barack Hussein Obama to the Supreme Court in 2009.
In 2001, Sotomayor made a racist statement about being a “wise Latina” while bashing white males:
“I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn’t lived that life,”
Take a seat, Sotomayor, your fellow wise Justice’s have spoken.
Did she go find such a person somewhere?
Nothing in the Constitution precludes the President from keeping members of a death cult out.
However, Sonia Sotomayer should not have to suffer being on a Supreme Court that issues opinions that she hates so much.
Therefor, the dumb ***** should retire.
What a Candidate says when running for Office can affect a Decision by the Republic’s Highest Court?
Sotomayer just proved she is unqualified to Sit on the SCOTUS.
In my best Johnny Carson voice, I did not know that.
She’s not really taking the high road on this one. And she seems to be saying that rhetoric (by POTUS or others, it seems), has an IMPACT on the LAW and the literal interpretation of the LAW.
I don’t think that is what she swore to uphold - “....the law as impacted by rhetoric of public figures as seen through my liberal rose-colored glasses.....”.
She would be wise to shut up, as she risks tainting future cases by her words, in the same way she is suggesting POTUS has done.
JMHO
The wide latina is on the wrong side of history and unAmerican.
I can’t wait for the day Trump gets his next SC pick, and the the Wise Latina will be writing overtime her 6-3 dissents.
So, it was Sotomayor, Kagan, Ginsburg, and Kennedy in dissent?
Why is it when anybody by the name of Kennedy gets anywhere near government, bad things tend to happen.
You could start inferring seriously negative cultural drawbacks to the Irish based on the Kennedy’s performance in government.
Send her back to school, and meanwhile replace her with a judge that at least appears to know the Constitution.
“...Does the President have the Constitutional authority to perform the actions described in the Executive order in question, or not? According to her, he does not. And her reasoning is purely ad-hominem....”
Exactly. Which makes the so-called “Wise Latina” obviously stupid. She’s a SCOTUS post turtle. She has absolutely no business sitting on that post...er, I mean bench.
You stay Classy, Wise Latina!!
“calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States’ “
You would think someone who is a Justice on the Supreme Court of the United States would know enough to quote properly. The always leave off “ until we can figure out what the hell is going on”
One of the biggest lies is being perpetuated by a Supreme Court justice!
There are between 49 and 51 Muslim-majority countries in the world, according to estimates from 2010. The fluctuation is a result of the changing demographics in countries where Muslims comprise around 50 percent of the population.
President Trump’s declaration was to suspend refugees/immigrants from SIX of them!
If you are from Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Algeria, Nigeria, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Jordan, Albania, Malaysia and dozens of more Islamic countries you welcome—providing you fill out the required paper work and do everything legally.
NOT a ban on Muslims, Sonia. It isn’t and all the wailing in the world doesn’t make it so.
who gives a crap
“This woman is not qualified to be on The Supreme Court. “
This ‘woman’ is not qualified to change bed sheets at a roach motel.
“Ultimately, what began as a policy explicitly ‘calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States’
the sheer ignorance of this statement is astounding...
Remember, that epochal decision gave us the riveting "Al Capone's Vault," which, like it's pseudo-Hispanic creator, wound up being a phenomenal dud.
Kind of like Mizz Sottedmayor.
How very civil and adult like....
If you are incapable of writing your decent and letting that speak for you, and instead, insist on a video rant, perhaps you lack the maturity to sit on the highest court of the land?
Who gives a crap!!!
Left wing Justice doesn’t like Constitution.
That’s not news.
The “wise latina” has faulty logic.
