Supreme Court on Donald's Muslim ban:

The announcement came in a brief, unsigned opinion issued by the justices when they took the bench this morning to release opinions in cases argued on the merits earlier this term. The court's opinion focused primarily on the government's request to reinstate the ban while the cases are before the Supreme Court. Emphasizing that the purpose of temporary relief like this is "to balance the equities as the litigation moves forward," the court made clear that it had the authority to "tailor" its ruling so that it applied to some, but not all, of those affected.
That is precisely what it did. The lower courts had considered the hardships that the ban would create for the named plaintiffs in the case: two men with family members who want to come to the United States from the affected countries; and the state of Hawaii, whose state university had admitted students from those countries. But, the court explained today, the lower courts' orders barring enforcement of the ban "reach much further than that," because they also apply to people living overseas "who have no connection to the United States at all." When those people are unable to come to the United States, the court reasoned, their constitutional rights are not violated - because they have no right to come to the United States - and their exclusion from the country does not harm anyone in the United States. The justices therefore upheld the lower courts' orders blocking enforcement of the ban with regard to the named plaintiffs and others like them - people who "have a credible claim" of a genuine relationship with someone or an institution in the United States. When that relationship is with an individual, the court made clear, it must be a close family member. And when the relationship is with an institution, the relationship must also be a genuine one, rather than one created just to get around the travel ban."

"It's hard to say how the legal case will shape up. But as the Court deliberates, it's worth noting that the policy justification for this ban - terrorism - is complete hogwash.
No person from the six targeted countries has committed a deadly terrorist attack inside US borders. The Trump administration has not offered any compelling reason to believe that citizens of those countries pose any kind of special terrorist threat going forward. The odds of being killed by an immigrant terrorist of any kind, let alone a Muslim immigrant, are one in 3.6 million. Former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani, of all people, admitted the real thinking behind the ban. In a January interview, he said that the president had asked him and others about how to do a ban on Muslim immigration "legally" - and that this ban was the result of that process. It all goes back to what President Trump said back in December 2015 when he first announced the ban proposal: that the US needed "a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States" because there is "great hatred towards Americans" among Muslims. The thinking here is quite clear - Muslims are an enormous threat to American lives, and that the federal government needs to stop more Muslims from coming to the US by whatever means possible. This is bigoted - and, according to the best data we have, empirically false. A January study from University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill sociologist Charles Kurzman that tallies up the data on terrorist attacks committed by Muslim Americans shows why. The study found that only 46 Muslim Americans (defined in the study as "Muslims who lived in the US for an extended period") were linked to violent extremism at home or abroad in 2016. The total Muslim American population is 3.3 million. Of those 46, only 24 were actually implicated in a concrete terrorist plot; the others did things like attempting to travel to Syria to join ISIS. Those plots claimed 54 lives, the vast majority of which (49) came in a single attack - the Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando. Kurzman also looked specifically at immigrants and Muslims whose families hail from the countries targeted travel ban - and, you guessed it, found no special propensity for terrorism." ------------------------- "The truth is incontrovertible. malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is." -Sir Winston Churchill |

LOL, they just agreed to hear it.
The ACLU was hoping that this would get to the Supremes. But I doubt that the legal discussion will ever get to the part of how stupid and non-functional the idea is. ------------------------- "The truth is incontrovertible. malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is." -Sir Winston Churchill |

Dang, all those tourists from Yemen and Somalia who were coming to Disney this summer...
I wonder if it occurs to them that had the ban not included those now excepted, the outcry and the lawsuits might never have happened? People traveling on valid VISAs where detained and sent back. Students, families, employees; that shit don't fly in our America. If those legitimate travelers aren't affected, I'm not worried about it. But it's a temporary thing anyway, is the trump government even going to exist when this expires? ------------------------- “It is the heart of US policy to use fascism to preserve capitalism while claiming to be saving democracy from communism “ - Michael Parenti |

Actually, you should thank us Trump voters. You guys wouldn't be alive were it not for conservatives. Progs are too dumb to save themselves. Now that this is settled, Congress needs to look into impeaching the judges who halted this up until now. Those partisan idiots have no business being on any court. ------------------------- I :heart; Q |

Doesn't matter. The goal is to keep Muslims out and that is now being accomplished. Another PiC move erased. As soon as we get Clown Care knocked out, we will have just about erased the stain of the PiC from our nation. ------------------------- I :heart; Q |

BTW, this is Trump's first Supreme Court win. He's 100% so far. That's a pleasant change. The PiC had the worst Supreme Court record of any president in our history. That was one Constitution flouting jackass. It is nice to have a law abiding president in charge again. ------------------------- I :heart; Q |

You might have had a point if most of those rulings against the PiC were 9-0. He had 44 unanimous losses. See, lawschool teaches you to research things like that before you shoot off your mouth. Comes in handy in life. ------------------------- I :heart; Q |

The ACA passed, as did things like gay rights, affirmative action and abortion.
And he had a + 50 percent win rate. Trump has part of one, I wouldn't get too excited just yet. P.S. We all can read Google. I'm still not convinced you have an actual law degree. ------------------------- I was right. |

Compared to your ding repair degree, his might carry more respect! He regularly deflects or refuses to answer questions from me, a surf bum. If I am mentally challenged as so many of you suggest, shouldn't he be able to shut me down every time? And you always avoid my questions, if I am of a low intellect, why are you afraid to answer? ------------------------- I was right. |

Absolutely. Especially when that court dissolves an injunction. They dissolved the foremost objectionable parts of the order, if trump had issued it the way SCOTUS allowed to proceed temporarily, I would not have objected to it. Maybe it's a win-win.
