>>If the court’s conservatives can muster five votes, they could put Trump’s order into effect immediately. But doing so would almost surely prompt a sharp dissent from the liberals.

If they decided that Trump was right and 6/22/2017 is a Thursday that would surely prompt a dissent from the liberals.

Elections have consequences.
Good God if Kennedy destroys the president’s ability to control immigration, and in effect creates a liberal “no religion test” for immigrants.
I think Mr. Cocktail party conservative Kennedy will want to rebuke Trump.
So, if this was heard today, have they made a decision?????
I wonder which of Trump’s attorneys is going before SCOTUS. Hope it’s Sekulow. I couldn’t find the info in the article.
The Constitution and law are crystal clear.
Our republic is lost if we must beg the judiciary for what is lawfully the right and privilege of the executive.
I hope one of the arguments was ...
Customized immigration policy, when challenged will be submitted for judicial review, as in the present case.
However, in addition to having broad authority to customize immigration policy, the president also has the clear authority to stop ALL immigration to our country, if he determines that this would be his only recourse to keep the country safe.
And since there is no possible way that an ENTIRE ban on ALL immigration could possibly violate any constitutional challenge, then any judicial attempts at any level to stop the president from banning ALL immigration would simply be ignored as a radical and unconstitutional encroachment on presidential authority.
So while the justices need to consider whether they should supplant their judgment over that of the president in THIS case as to whether this ban is needed to keep our country safe, the president must also consider, if this ban is denied, whether a ban on all immigration must take its place, in order to have a policy that, by its nature, should not and WILL not be subject to judicial review, if that will be the only way he can act quickly to keep out of our country those who want to slaughter us.
If the court rules against Trump carrying out his lawful executive duty, then Trump should declare the court in insurrection and send in the Marines to arrest them for treason.
If the fake Congress objects, declare the fraudulent bastids and witches as illegal, thumb-sucking squatters and ship them to North Korea.
