Supreme Court allows Trump asylum restrictions to take effect, ending 9th Circuit injunctions

n a major win for the Trump administration, the Supreme Court issued an order late Wednesday ending all injunctions that had blocked the White House's ban on asylum for anyone trying to enter the U.S. by traveling through a third country, such as Mexico, without seeking protection there.

The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals – long a liberal bastion that has been aggressively reshaped into a more moderate court by the Trump administration – handed the White House a partial victory in the case on Monday by ending the nationwide injunction. But the 9th Circuit kept the injunction alive within the territorial boundaries of the circuit, which encompasses California, Arizona, Alaska, Hawaii, Montana, Nevada, Idaho, Guam, Oregon and Washington.

The Supreme Court's order was not a final ruling on the policy's merits but does allow the policy to take effect nationwide, including in the 9th Circuit, while the case makes its way through the lower courts.

Excellent. It's good to have a sane SCOTUS again that follows the law, not some agenda.

Fire the 9th circuit judge!

I don’t even want to be cold and cruel anymore and wish for her to succumb to cancer.

I just wish that she would step down and live the rest of her life in comfort with her family.

That’s a FAR KINDER wish than she had for the millions of kids she voted to kill.

Not a great day for NeverTrumpers. Has Bill Kristol commented yet?

[A strike]

In other words, in accordance with international law regarding 'refugees. (Not that we should give any heedence to 'international law').

Haven’t seen much of him in awhile. Appears he’s gone dark. Which probably means he’s up to no good.

Only Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Ruth Bader Ginsburg dissented.

Is it just me or is Elena Kagan a lot more moderate than expected from an Obama appointee?

[Publius]

When Obama had the opportunity for his first Supreme Court nomination, he ran into Antonin Scalia at a black tie dinner. Scalia said to Obama, "If you're going to send us a liberal, send us a smart liberal. Send us Elena Kagan."

That first nomination went to Sonia Sotomayor, but the next one went to Kagan.

Very interesting....

I’ve always wondered, about those who salivate over “international law” ... just how much they approve of Iran’s laws concerning homosexuals.

[miserare]

Good! BTW, how is Ruthie B.G. feeling this week?

[salmon76]

Stop...Just stop...Please stop!!!

I just can't take all of this winning.

If the 9th Circus won’t secede, maybe they can be ejected from the Union?

[A strike]

Exactly. ‘international law’ has NO authority over the U.S. Constitution and the laws of the United States.

[KevinB]

I took an international law class in law school. Several times during each class the professor would say, “Of course, none of this is enforceable.” What a waste of time.

She’s long gone. They have a robot in her place who occasionally pretends to be sick to keep it real.
