Supreme Court allows President Trump's travel ban to go fully into effect

If you could actually forum shop a judge to countermand an executive order, any number of Obamacate orders that were contrary to the language of the ACA, a Texas Federal judge cpuld have brought it to a halt.
 
I'm not really surprised. As I said long ago, the ban is based on nationality, rather than religion, which would have been contrary to the Constitution. The US has had restrictions on immigration based on nationality for over a century.

Maybe Obama wouldn't be so agreeable to obeying such an order.
 
Remember how this was only going to be a temporaty emergency ban until they would improve the vetting process, or in The Donald's words "figure out what the hell is going on".

Are they saying that they haven't been able to "figure out what's going on" for nearly a year now?

Gee, it's almost as if it wasn't about security at all.

He could put it in place for as long as "he" feels there's a threat to the nation. It's in the law.

Yeah. I'm not saying he can't do it.

I'm saying the official line for why he's doing it is a bunch of bovine manure.

Did you know that federal law requires the President to take religion into account when considering which refugees to allow into the country?

No, and niether do I give a damn. Cause it has no bearing on my point.

The real point is the President thinks refugees from these countries pose a threat and that is all it takes under the law, your feelings and those of liberaldom notwithstanding.

The religious test restriction in the Constitution only applies to the appointment of officers in the government. 8 USC 1158 requires a religious test in regard to the admission of aliens:

"must establish that … religion [among other things] … was or will be at least one central reason for persecuting the applicant."

To apply for asylum a refugee must be a refugee as defined by federal law in in 8 USC Section 1101(a)(42)(A) which also requires the Executive Branch to take an alien's religion into account:

"The term “refugee” means (A) any person who is outside any country of such person’s nationality … and who is unable or unwilling to return to … that country because of persecution or a well-founded fear of persecution on account of … religion [among other things] …[.]"

That's because asylum exists to address "persecution" our heartstrings.:)
 
The REAL story here is that with all the politically-partisan negativism she's intentionally opined of the Tool...

...Ginsburg proves she no longer hosts an iota of judicial integrity when she can't naturally recuse herself from ANY case that involves ANY decision regarding ANY thing he's involved in.

There is absolutely, unarguably no better proof for how repugnantly politicized the highest Court in the land is.

A nation of law cannot survive the partisan rule of a nation of deceitful wo/men.

Are you a broken chat bot or something? I said he can do it. And you argue against that I said he can´t. :confused:

My feelings have nothing to do with this. Trump's words do. Trump said that they'd fix a better vetting system, and the ban was a temporary fix until that was implemented.

They have not fixed a better vetting system, anthough nothing have stopped them from doing so. If they did, they wouldn't need the ban now.

So, Trump can claim whatever reason for having a ban that his little cotton socks desire. Doesn't change the fact that his original claimed reason for a ban was a load of crap.
