Time to remove four activists from this court and replace them with actual judges.
The biggest decision is yet to come. If SCOTUS rules against compulsory union dues for public employees, the Dems will lose a huge revenue stream and the unions will be weakened.
MAGA!
This issue is not "travel". The issue is invasion. This is a most basic constitutional issue that mandates the federal government stop invasion.
The United States...shall protect each [state] against invasion
U.S. Const. art. IV, sec. 4.
Trump's argument is first and foremost a Constitutional argument, not a federal statute argument. Illegal immigration and immigration of our enemies are INVASION which the Constitution specifically mandates the federal government to prevent. Don't repeat the Lying Leftists Labels. This and related articles should be posted as an Invasion Ban Order.
The best thing Mitch ever did was hold up the supreme court pick of Obama.
The upshot of our cases in this context is clear: Any rule of constitutional law that would inhibit the flexibility of the President to respond to changing world conditions should be adopted only with the greatest caution, and our inquiry into matters of entry and national security is highly constrained. Mathews, 426 U. S., at 8182. We need not define the precise contours of that inquiry in this case. A conventional application of Mandel, asking only whether the policy is facially legitimate and bona fide, would put an end to our review. But the Government has suggested that it may be appropriate here for the inquiry to extend beyond the facial neutrality of the order. See Tr. of Oral Arg. 1617, 2527 (describing Mandel as the starting point of the analysis). For our purposes today, we assume that we may look behind the face of the Proclamation to the extent of applying rational basis review. That standard of review considers whether the entry policy is plausibly related to the Governments stated objective to protect the country and improve vetting processes. See Railroad Retirement Bd. v. Fritz, 449 U. S. 166, 179 (1980). As a result, we may consider plaintiffs extrinsic evidence, but will uphold the policy so long as it can reasonably be understood to result from a justification independent of unconstitutional grounds..
And in a footnote to this section writes:
The dissent finds perplexing the application of rational basis review in this context. Post, at 15. But what is far more problematic is the dissents assumption that courts should review immigration policies, diplomatic sanctions, and military actions under the de novo reasonable observer inquiry applicable to cases involving holiday displays and graduation ceremonies. The dissent criticizes application of a more constrained standard of review as throw[ing] the Establishment Clause out the window. Post, at 16, n. 6. But as the numerous precedents cited in this section make clear, such a circumscribed inquiry applies to any constitutional claim concerning the entry of foreign nationals.
It was 5-4. It is time to get rid of Kennedy and Ruthie.
Liberal heads will be exploding all over the world on the heels of this ruling.
...which of course is better than suicide vests exploding all over the U.S. if the SCOTUS struck down the ban.
That this even went through the federal courts is ridiculous. The President has this control. Remember? Co-equal branches?

The purpose of my careful reading of the decision was to confirm the Presidents statutory and constitutional authority is absolute on ant immigrants he deems necessary, That authority is absolute without equivocation and that is the bombshell that just went off on our Southern Border. There is no need for further delay.
n In page 10 and 11 the court states this with no ambiguity what so ever.
Quoting from the Court:
“By its plain language, §1182(f) grants the President broad discretion to suspend the entry of aliens into the United States. The President lawfully exercised that discretion based on his findingsfollowing a worldwide, multi-agency reviewthat entry of the covered aliens would be detrimental to the national interest. ...
The text of §1182(f) states: Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate.
By its terms, §1182(f) exudes deference to the President in every clause. It entrusts to the President the decisions whether and when to suspend entry ([w]henever [he] finds that the entry of aliens would be detrimental to the ( national interest); whose entry to suspend (all aliens or any class of aliens); for how long (for such period as he shall deem necessary); and on what conditions (any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate). It is therefore unsurprising that we have previously observed that§1182(f) vests the President with ample power to impose entry restrictions in addition to those elsewhere enumerated in the INA.” End
The illegal entry of individuals is a per se violation of law and detrimental to the national interest”. if the president that was duly elected says so but add to that the criminal illegal aliens, the welfare in the $billions The cost of childcare and education at $ 38,000 per child per year ( MORE BILLIONs) . free health care ( more billions ) and oh yes illegal drugs and sex trafficking and we have BINGO.
Trump may now take immediate action to catch and RETURN. I believe he can now build the wall with defense funds. Let me as an aside tell you that the leftist anti sovereignty thugs and the Chamber of Commerce will now run at Trump to bargain this power away. I am telling you that this power is unfettered and must be retained by Trump throughout his 8 wonderful years and his anointed successor.Not only must Trump NOW take immediate action to stop illegal; entry in this country as detrimental to the national interest in his sole opinion but he must NEVER bargain away this power for ANY offer by the leftist and GOPe Rinos. This is the largest WIN by Trump EVER!!
better yet, deport their membership to their ancestral homes.
Winning!
