The U.S. Supreme Court, in a 5-4 ruling, upheld President Donald Trump's restriction on travel to the United States from a handful of Muslim countries on Tuesday, giving the White House its first high court victory on the merits of a presidential initiative.

Trump should send a message to Congress that they can fix immigration laws that he can sign or he will just do it himself. Ban unlawful entry into the U.S. across the board.

“Bomb Hawaii.”

That’s a nice,mature response./s

I agree. Bombs aren’t free, so why waste the money? Can’t we just kick them out and go back to 49 states?

CNN is going nuts. Keep referring to it as a MUSLIM ban. Funny to watch.

I saw that. MSNBC has the exact same narrative. Talking heads are saying “Trump targeted a religious group he clearly hates.” They are also freaking out, hyperventilating that this ruling will “embolden” Trump. They thought they had the President on the run with this “separating refugee families” garbage. If I were the POTUS, I would begin mass deportations this afternoon. Send these Illegal Invaders back to their own countries.

Yes, the president should close the Mexican border, secure it with troops, and say no one crosses until Mexico can control its citizens and guests. The country openly encourages transit and invasion. We need to stop it. Mexico needs us more than we need them. Maybe reopen with condition they pay for the wall, which helps them fulfill their obligation.

Hawaii had asked that the Travel Ban be enjoined during the trial. The District Court (trial) judge did so and the Ninth Circus affirmed. Today’s decision holds that the Travel Ban will be in effect during the trial, because Hawaii is unlikely to win on the merits. This signals that the Supreme Court would reach the same result post-trial that it did today. A trial would be a spiteful act. Even if it happens and even if the trial goes against the Travel Ban, the Supreme Court would likely quickly reverse.

Unfortunately, we will be stuck with the two lesbian activists - Kagan and Sotomayor - for the next several decades.

If the truth about Obama is ever revealed - that he was an illegitimate “president” who was ineligible to serve, and that he also engaged in massive vote fraud - then I would hope that Kagan and Sotomayor would be declared illegitimate as well. Toss them off the court.

For those unfamiliar with classic America Cinema and the Germans who bombed Pearl Harbor.

The interred Japanese in Korematsu v. United States were mostly second generation American-born citizens (nisei) of Japanese immigrants - and those Japanese parents were naturalized U.S. citizens.

However, that is not the situation in this case; and only an obstinate liberal jackass would conflate the two - but then I repeat myself.

The lower courts cannot challenge the Proclamation and the authority of the President. They can only nit pick based on particular circumstances, for example whether or not a specific individual should be banned under this Proclamation. The travel ban is in effect and will be enforced.

The real story is that it was not 9-0.

This is pathetic.

Indeed. The Republic hangs by a thread, in more ways than one.

5-4?

Can’t wait to read the dissent. The legal contortionism should rival the Roe v. Wade. majority comments

The facts don’t matter to these jackasses. How many Muslim countries exist in the world today? And, we have what - ten percent of that number are restricted?

The American media has so damaged its credibility that it will require at least 50 years to restore its reputation - if ever.
