A Virginia-based federal court of appeals on Thursday ruled the latest version of President Trump’s travel ban unconstitutional citing that it unlawfully discriminates against Muslims.
In a 9-4 decision, a majority of the judges on the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals said it examined official statements from Trump and other executive branch officials, along with the proclamation itself, and found it “unconstitutionally tainted with animus toward Islam.”
The court is the second federal appeals court to rule against the ban.
The most recent iteration of the ban bars people from eight countries — six of which are predominantly Muslim — from coming to the U.S.
The Supreme Court had decided in December that it would allow the latest travel ban to take effect while litigation ran its course.
In late December, a panel of the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled against the third iteration of Trump's travel ban, saying it goes against federal law.
The Supreme Court last month agreed to review the legality of Trump's travel ban and is expected in April to hear arguments regarding the order.

Of f-—ing course there is animus towards Islam. Is that now unConstitutional?? Puleez.
Many of our federal judges are “tainted with animus towards Christianity.”
A Virginia-based federal court of appeals on Thursday ruled the latest version of President Trump’s travel ban unconstitutional citing that it unlawfully discriminates against Muslims.
I though that the SCOTUS settled this in the president’s favor.
5-4? ..............
Temporarily, but it should have sent a message to the LOWER COURTS, which it did, but apparently they didn’t get it, or did and ignored it.................
We are now a nation of men, not laws.
Well if you are from a country that is majority Muslim and that country has a record of their citizens supporting or committing acts of terror you should expect to get discriminated against by your potential victims. Too bad.
Liberal morons in black robes who are simply apparatchiks of demon craps
Will lose badly
The 1954 decision by USSC is crystal clear
Until they can film flam take over again pres and plant some more buzzy Ginsberg or Sotomayor losers who will lie cheat steal for the demon rats
It’s over
I don’t see any way buzzy makes it through term 1 never mind term two of the TRUMP WINNING EXPRESS
I wonder what part of the Muslim declared jihad on the US these effing judges fail to understand. Like I have expressed before, we don’t need a president, we have judges. My God!
Why do we even have an executive branch?
America was great while it lasted.
Yep. Trump will win...AGAIN!
All these traitor judges are just publicly exposing themselves as they likely figured out they’re toast. They’ve got nothing to lose so they’re going for broke trying to goad Trump into doing something that the Dems and MSMS can try and spin up into an “impeachable offense.”
Since when does the Constitution apply to aliens nor in this country?
Those who crap on the Constitution think Trump is an un-Constitutional President.....ironic and funny in a sad way.
The “legislating by the bench” doesn’t nearly get enough outrage
Just sitting around and bitching about it isn’t enough
The Dimwitz have zero problem calling for the “impeachment” of a duly elected President, with absolutely ZERO evidence
Yet courts routinely overstep their bounds and not a peep from anyone. If there’s justification for impeachment, it’s with these bastards.
And you can start with Ruthie’s biased extra-judicial statements on policy and specifically on Trump, who’s Administration appears before her Court
Muslims - or any other person - who is not yet in the United States, have no Constitutional right to anything! Immigration laws are not subject to a test of racial discrimination. What next, mandates that the US government let in people in equal proportions to race, religion, country of origin?! These judicial fiats have to be stopped.
I assume the talking points and strategy have gone out some weeks ago from the DNC on this, which is why we see a spate of them now.
They are fighting a holding tactic. Just trying to gum up the works until Trump is defanged or impeached.
They hope.
Well, I would say to them, hope in your left hand, crap in the right one, and see which fills first.
