Court upholds Trump travel ban,

Recommended Posts

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Supreme Court on Tuesday upheld President Donald Trump's ban on travel from several mostly Muslim countries, rejecting a challenge that it discriminated against Muslims or exceeded his authority.

The 5-4 decision Tuesday is the court's first substantive ruling on a Trump administration policy.

Could his authority extend to the southern border as well?

Now that SCOTUS has ruled in favor of Trump, what is stopping him adding Mexico, Central America, and South America to the list?

The Version 3 travel ban wasn't so bad.

Trade mostly.  Stopping legal immigration, business, and travel from our third largest trading partner would be bad for the economy.

It'd also be harder to do.  Trump got the Supreme Court win because they took it on face value instead holding to his promises of a "Muslim" ban.  If he just arbitrarily added more brown people to the list, it would just go back to the court with more evidence that it was based on a bias than any true security.

Kinda lost me there. Also on a smaller note this would be terrible for UFC/MMA fans.

Actually, they simply recognized the well-established legal power of the office of the president to do exactly what he did.  And they damned took all too long to get to it.  Once again, the Ninth "CIRCUS" bites a biscuit...

SCOTUS ruled in favor of the constitution, not Trump.   A federal judge should not have teh ability to dictate to the 50 states based on his personal feelings and that judge should've ruled on what was in the EO, not what was said by Trump on the campaign trail.  Imagine a coiuntry where you could go backland select something said ny a president a decade ago and overrule his constitutional powers based on said statement.  It is absurd but ten again, so is liberalism.

Saru, I understand that some of these posts were offensive but a primary complaint about this EO is that it is targeting a specific religion (not sure how race ever got into this but is a standard accusation) and shouldn't that be addressed?

All I said was no race baiting (the offending post(s) have been removed), I didn't say that the topic itself was out of bounds.

Congratulations!!! 

You are now up to 6.3 billion per year worse off. According to Trump's own report. That he his because he didn't like what it said.

The case, "raises a number of delicate issues regarding the scope of constitutional right and the manner of proof.  The Proclamation, is also facially neutral towards religion." https://www.cnn.com/2018/06/26/politics/read-scotus-travel-ban-decision/index.html

They opted to accept it at face value.  Trying to use it for methods like ZZ mentioned above would merely bring it right back to court.

I might add, I am fine with v3.0.  The first version would have affected over 100 people in my town alone.  V3.0 directly affects none of them.

Then change the constitution but as written the executive is fully within his rights to limit immigration as has been done many time before.

You missed the part where I said I was fine with this.

He should implement a ban on the boarder now. There is more danger coming across it then coming from those countries. He'd probably get the same ruling I'd imagine

It is amazing how you have to explain that to people, isn't it?

I blame Govt Schools.

I don't call it "Liberalism" any more, and not just because those people live by labels.

Nothing they do has anything to do with anything you could call Liberal anymore. They are all about mob-rule, dictatorship and the abuse of power (see Hilary Clinton). 

And then there is the abuse of the rest of us, as Maxine Waters and everyone making excuses for her has been advocating. 

 

IMHO, its time to step back and get ready for the terminal phase. The Authoritarian Left has worked themselves up to the point of madness. 

Do not engage.

Stay away from crowds.

Stay alert.

It's good but, a year and a half later thanks to the newly selected Supreme Court of Justice  President Trump selected. 

Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the oldest sitting judge at age 85, was appointed by Bill Clinton in 1993.

85 and put there by Clinton...

Progressives now believe Democrats should give any future Trump nominee what has become known in Washington as “the Garland treatment”.

Prominent Democrats have signaled reservations about resorting to the same tactics, which they argue would risk further eroding institutional norms. But Senator Elizabeth Warren, of Massachusetts, suggested an overtly partisan pick by Trump would not receive much of an audience with Democrats.

The question is who you put up,” Warren said in an interview with Pod Save America, a political podcast hosted by former Obama aides.

“The people that George W Bush would put in wouldn’t be exactly the same as the people that Barack Obama would put in. But they’d be along the same road.”

Warren noted that the climate had changed, even as she conceded it was counterproductive to follow in McConnell’s footsteps and state from the outset that Democrats would block any Trump nominee regardless of background.

“I think that’s wrong,” she said. “But I do think you send a Neil Gorsuch to us, and the answer is no. We do hearings, we do it substantively, but the answer would be no.”

Trump has, of course, denied this, saying it was a Chinese conspiracy, not caused by him and even if it was he's not paying anything to deal with it.

The democrat party is definitely shifting to the far-far left.  Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a 28 year old stone cold socialist just kicked Joe Crowley's **** in New York's 14th district. He is a powerful dem leader, 4th most powerful in the house, and out-raised her 10-1 but still lost by 15%!   She believes all the wonderful in completely impossible things like government jobs, universal health care and open borders.   Usually a part rebounds to the center after being so thoroughly trounced the last decade but the DNC seems to be getting dragged further left.

So now it IS possible, all of a sudden. You just don't happen to like it. 

Oh no, you really don't know then do you. 

Even Venezuela isn't 'far far left'. 

But then, the US version of 'centrist' is basically right wing to any other country.
