Trump wins the right to enforce 'Muslim' travel ban NOW against people without U.S. ties - ahead of Supreme Court showdown in fall

The Supreme Court will decide in the fall whether or not President Donald Trump's travel ban affecting people from six Muslim-majority countries is constitutional. In the meantime, however, the administration can enforce the executive order against anyone from those nations who doesn't already have a 'bona fide relationship' with a U.S. citizen or legal resident. The stopgap measure, announced Monday morning, is largely a victory for Trump, who will be allowed - at least temporarily - to stem the flow of immigrants and refugees from Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen.

The Supreme Court will decide in the fall whether or not President Donald Trump's travel ban affecting people from six Muslim-majority countries is constitutional.
In the meantime, however, the administration can enforce the executive order against anyone from those nations who doesn't already have a 'bona fide relationship' with a U.S. citizen or legal resident.
The stopgap measure, announced Monday morning, is largely a victory for Trump, who will be allowed – at least temporarily – to stem the flow of immigrants and refugees from Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen, all terror-prone countries.
Trump has said he would put his ban into effect 72 hours after the Supreme Court gives him a green light.
Technically, the justices left a lower court injunction in place, but only for people whose cases mirror those of the original plaintiffs – meaning 'foreign nationals who have a credible claim of a bona fide relationship with a person or entity in the United States.'
'All other foreign nationals are subject to the provisions of [the executive order],' the court ruled.

President Donald Trump won a major victory – at least for now – on Monday, as the Supreme Court allowed him to enforce most of his travel ban against people from six terror-prone and Muslim-majority countries

+9

Supreme Court justices decided to limit the reach of a lower court's injunction against Trump's travel ban, allowing much of it to take affect – at least until the high court hears the case formally in the fall

There are rumors that Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy, 80, could announce his retirement from the bench as soon as this week

The Trump administration has said the ban was needed to allow an internal review of the screening procedures for visa applicants from the six countries.
That review should be complete before October 2, the first day the justices could hear arguments in their new term.
The Supreme Court could have a vacancy by the time that autumn session rolls around, if Justice Anthony decides to retire as some expect.
Kennedy did not use the occasion of Monday's scheduled high court announcements to say he would be stepping down.

Trump launched a nationwide controversy by signing an executive order a week after his inauguration, barring the entry of refugees and other travelers from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen; Iraq was removed from a second version that the high court will review

But if he does, President Donald Trump will have a second pick in the first months of his administration. Kennedy's departure could also allow conservatives to take firm control of the court.
Kennedy turns 81 next month and has been on the court for nearly 30 years. Several of his former law clerks have said they think he is contemplating stepping down in the next year or so.
Washington was abuzz with talk this weekend that President Donald Trump may soon have another chance to nominate a judge to the highest court in the land.
If the speculation pans out, that would give Trump his second high court pick in the first months of his administration.

Kennedy did not address the retirement rumors when he and his clerks gathered over the weekend for a reunion, according to three clerks who were there. The decision to push up the reunion by a year helped spark talk he might be leaving the court.
Kellyanne Conway, senior counselor to President Trump, declined Monday to join in on the conjecture.
'That is totally Justice Kennedy's decision and he has served for 30 years, almost 30 years, with distinction and care on the Court and that is entirely his decision,' she said on Fox & Friends.
'I do know that the president, when he appointed Neil Gorsuch, made very clear that at any time that he gets a federal appointment, whether it's the Supreme Court level of the District courts the circuit courts, he will appoint people who have fidelity to the Constitution, they won't legislate from the bench, make it up as they go along.'
Conway had declined to say in a Sunday interview whether the president and Kennedy had discussed retirement.
'I will never reveal a conversation between a sitting justice and the president or the White House, but we're paying very close attention to these last bit of decisions,' she said on ABC News.

If Kennedy does retire, that means President Donald Trump would be able to nominate a second justice to the bench. Trump is seen above during the swearing-in of his first nominee, Neil Gorsuch, at the White House on April 10, 2017

Justice Kennedy, who is known as a moderate Republican, was nominated by then-President Ronald Reagan in 1987.
Since Sandra Day O'Connor retired in 2006, Kennedy has been the key swing vote on a number of 5-4 decisions.
In 2015, Kennedy wrote the majority opinion in Obergefell v. Hodges, the landmark case whose ruling mandated that same sex marriage be made legal nationwide.
The concluding paragraph of Kennedy's 28-page majority opinion was even used by many same sex and heterosexual couples alike as their wedding vows.




'No union is more profound than marriage,' Kennedy's opinion says, 'for it embodies the highest ideals of love, fidelity, devotion, sacrifice and family. In forming a marital union, two people become something greater than once they were.'
Several of his former law clerks have said they think he is contemplating stepping down in the next year or so.
Kennedy and his clerks were gathering over the weekend for a reunion that was pushed up a year and helped spark talk he might be leaving the court.
'Soon we'll know if rumors of Kennedy's retirement are accurate,' one former Kennedy clerk, George Washington University law professor Orin Kerr, said on Twitter Friday.

And the thing is Karis, what Paul and his kind fail to understand is it's not even meant to be permanent, it's meant to fix our system of vetting people, to replace the spaghetti strainer process that the dems allowed.

unanimous decision to allow the vast majority of the bill

not at all surprised by the court's ruling, which is how they ALWAYS have ruled on matters of national security

glad to see it was a unanimous decision

still think the lower courts need to be reprimanded for overstepping their constitutional authority on national security issues, they have to access to Intel and thus are in over their heads when making their rulings, while their justification for such rulings is so damn libtarded

 

[Willie99]

^^^^^

should read they have NO ACCESS to national security data

so they should know better
