The Supreme Court has cancelled an oral argument hearing, scheduled for October 10, about President Trump's travel ban issued by executive order earlier this year.
The hearing was taken off the schedule after the President issued a new ban and restrictions Sunday night, adding additional countries and laying out specific national security requirements for entry into the United States.
Sudan has been dropped from the original travel ban list, while Iran, Libya, Syria, Yemen, and Somalia remain. Iraq has also been dropped, although increased vetting has been implemented. North Korea, Chad and Venezuela have been added with varying levels of vetting and restrictions for each country. Citizens traveling from North Korea and Venezuela are not affected, only government officials.
“Following an extensive review by the Department of Homeland Security, we are taking action today to protect the safety and security of the American people by establishing a minimum security baseline for entry into the United States,” Trump said. “We cannot afford to continue the failed policies of the past, which present an unacceptable danger to our country. My highest obligation is to ensure the safety and security of the American people, and in issuing this new travel order, I am fulfilling that sacred obligation.”
The case surrounding President Trump's authority to ban individuals from entry into the United States will likely continue when new briefs opposing the ban are filed with the Supreme Court. In other words, this is far from over.
“Six of President Trump's targeted countries are Muslim. The fact that Trump has added North Korea, with few visitors to the U.S., and a few government officials from Venezuela doesn't obfuscate the real fact that the administration's order is still a Muslim ban. President Trump's original sin of targeting Muslims cannot be cured by throwing other countries onto his enemies list,” the ACLU, which opposes the administration, released in a statement.
Omg. You’re right. And Idaho. Liberals keep the f### out!
” ... the real fact that the administration’s order is still a Muslim ban.”
Are these legalists saying that like it’s a bad thing? What’s bad about keeping out murderous Islamacists?
A lot of them act on jihad, thinking it pleases their god, but all of them believe it.
The ACLU is always saying crazy **** like this.
one of the problems is that the judges knowingly make decisions that are not supported by case law or by what has been legislated.
Agreed and I think that’s one of the biggest problems.
That’s funny- NFL fans should wear trump masks to the game to psyche out the liberal snow flakes on the field.
Sudan is the most fundamentalist Islamic country in the world!
The world has gone crazy. Religion should never been protected by the Civil Rights Act.
haha That’s a darn good idea. Make that idea viral.
Sounds like an excellent idea.
There was another good idea there. One person talked of removing judges for cause, if they couldn’t conform to settled law.
I don’t think we should always buy off on settled law, but certain things are more concrete than others.
You’ll know what I mean.
I don’t like that other idea because it doesn’t seem likely. On the other hand your idea does.
Thanks. I don’t care how we do it, but the 9th needs to be addressed. Other judges too.
We have some folks out there that are clueless.
They’re doing damage.
Let the communist scream, take it to the communist plants in the courts but our President has the authority to do it under the law. DO NOT BACK DOWN...ef them and protect our Nation by doing the right thing.
Appeasing the Communists among us and their Islamic allies will only get us killed.
Damn straight he does and he needs to show them that he can rule with an iron fist when he has the authority to do so. Do not let these communists make him crawfish one inch
