Supreme Court allows full enforcement of Trump travel ban

About fricking time. I'm unsure how it helps at this point, but at least it's on record. This should allow them to make plans on how to enforce such a ruling going forward.

Supreme Court allows full enforcement of Trump travel ban

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court is allowing the Trump administration to fully enforce a ban on travel to the United States by residents of six mostly Muslim countries.

The justices, with two dissenting votes, said Monday that the policy can take full effect even as legal challenges against it make their way through the courts. The action suggests the high court could uphold the latest version of the ban that Trump announced in September.

The ban applies to travelers from Chad, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Syria and Yemen. Lower courts had said people from those nations with a claim of a "bona fide" relationship with someone in the United States could not be kept out of the country. Grandparents, cousins and other relatives were among those courts said could not be excluded.

Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Sonia Sotomayor would have left the lower court orders in place.

The San Francisco-based 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals and the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond, Virginia, will be holding arguments on the legality of the ban this week.

Both courts are dealing with the issue on an accelerated basis, and the Supreme Court noted it expects those courts to reach decisions "with appropriate dispatch."

Quick resolution by appellate courts would allow the Supreme Court to hear and decide the issue this term, by the end of June.

Travel Ban Back in Place, SCOTUS Halts Lower Court Injunctions

President Donald Trump’s travel ban executive order is once again to largely go back into effect after the Supreme Court of the United States stayed two lower courts’ injunctions Monday.

The orders come in response to filings by the Department of Justice Friday asking the Supreme Court to stay the preliminary injunctions in the two main travel ban cases, Hawaii v. Trump in the Ninth Circuit and International Refugee Assistance Project v. Trump in the Fourth Circuit. These cases have been proceeding up and down the federal court system for months.

The district courts, especially that of Barack Obama-appointed District of Hawaii Judge Derrick Watson, have repeatedly ruled that the bans must be blocked from going into effect or must, in the interim, be interpreted in such a way as to have little effect on the list of mostly Muslim majority countries from which travel is prohibited under the orders.

The petitions in the two cases were made to Justice Anthony Kennedy and Chief Justice John Roberts respectively. Only Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Sonia Sotomayor declined to sign on to the orders staying the Fourth and Ninth Circuits.

Completely amazing. Trump's right --- we are going to get tired of him winning.




Not.

Excellent.

And soon, Ginsburg will be put out to pasture and Trump can replace her with a more suitable Justice.
Looking forward to the howls of outrage over that one.

I'm not sure why they didn't just go ahead and rule in whole here. Beyond obvious that Trump had the right to do this.

Because the Dems proclaimed from day one that they would resist and try and stop every little thing Trump does or tries. Hell, and that's even before anything is presented. They are obstructionists and stated they would do so for the entirety of his presidency. All because their anointed one, then committed crimes and cheated, and didn't get the gig that was promised to her years prior.
