Trump Administration Petitions Supreme Court to Let Travel Ban Take Effect

28

President Donald Trump’s team has turned to the U.S. Supreme Court to address a leftist-contested temporary travel ban on those from six terror hot spot nations entering the United States.

Specifically, Team Trump’s asked the court to allow the travel prohibition to take immediate effect.

The White House has turned to the U.S. Supreme Court to determine if President Donald Trump’s temporary travel ban can take immediate effect.

The petition to the highest court in the land comes as the bans, put in place by executive order, have been spun — successfully — by the left as religious discrimination orders.

With the newly seated Justice Gorsuch, it’s hoped by the conservative world that sanity will be returned and the ban, which only lasts for a period of 90 days, and is aimed at giving immigration officials time to perform proper safety and security checks, will be upheld.

From Fox News:

“The administration filed two emergency applications with the nine Court justices seeking to block two lower court rulings that blocked President Trump’s executive order.

“In the filing, the Justice Department argued that the appeals court in Richmond, Va. made several mistakes in ruling against Trump’s travel order.

“Sarah Isgur Flores, a Justice Department spokeswoman, said the ban is lawful.

“The Justice Department is “confident that President Trump’s executive order is well within his lawful authority to keep the nation safe and protect our communities from terrorism,” Flores said. “The president is not required to admit people from countries that sponsor or shelter terrorism, until he determines that they can be properly vetted and do not pose a security risk to the United States.”

“The order barred entry for people from six Muslim majority nations, including Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen for 90 days while the U.S. implements stricter visa screenings.

“The 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals called the national security concerns an after-the-fact justification for a policy that was ‘intended to bar Muslims from this country.’

“Rights groups that have been fighting the policy in the courts said the justices should not allow the travel and refugee bans to take effect.

“‘Again and again, our nation’s courts have found that President Trump’s Muslim ban is unconstitutional. We will continue to defend our plaintiffs’ right to live free from fear of discriminatory treatment by the federal government,’ said Karen Tumlin, legal director of the National Immigration Law Center.”

Just call them retroactive-retributive-preadjustmentary-appeasement-justifying actions. I need to get in that line – the romans enslaved my people years ago. Surely someone is paying!

The Dems are getting desperate. Kathy Griffin is their new approach to news management.

– Trying to distract from the Seth Rich murder, and other Dem scandals.
– This photo tells the whole story. Griffin is a Democrat shill.
– Anything for a buck

That’s when she thought he was one of them – a leftist in the limelight. Maybe that’s why she hates him so much. He decided to leave that gang of fools.

I think it’s very simple. The Dems needed a news distraction from the Seth Rich scandal, so they paid Kathy Griffin to do this. And it worked for two days.

It is a distraction but seth rich and kate steinle and other skeletons are not going away. The goal of acts of obstruction and plain stupid hatred by the left keeps backfiring on them as they sink ever deeper.

Steve –
I hope you are right. The Democrats have buried stuff before. It is we who must keep digging, faster than they bury.

The Seth Rich murder is like the root of a weed sticking up. And when you pull, a massive network of other weeds also come up, in an endless tangle. That’s what it’s like. For example, this murder is connected to underground roots to the pedophilia ring, that links to Anthony Weiner, Huma Abedin, Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, and John Podesta.

Yes. You are right. I hope so too that the fight doesn’t stop. I have faith that Trump sees this now as his life’s work in addition to the presidential duties and that is a good thing!

President Trump is well within public law in his travel ban. In addition to his constitutional enumerated powers, there is 8 US Code Section 1182 entitled “Inadmissible Aliens”. Search “Section 1182” and go to Subsection #3 “Security And Related Grounds”, Item B “Terror Activity” and there you will find nine criteria, none dealing with religion.

To say the travel ban is a muslime ban is like saying border enforcement along the Rio Grande is a Catholic ban.

The leftists have no understanding of the difference between “religious discrimination” and national security. The ban was placed on certain countries, not certain cults.

Trash ads get flagged and blocked by me. I recommend everyone flag these turkeys and then block them in that order. First let the blog monitors identify them and then block them so you don’t have to deal with them anymore.

Very true. It should be a ban on the cult as well but Muslims will find a way around that!!!

If he doesn’t get this through SCOTUS then he should just close all immigration down from everywhere, that will fix it for sure. You would think that just watching what is happening in Europe that people would demand that their government close the borders to those coming from radical countries, but I think the problem is that the message is not getting out there. They need to start showing those that are being beheaded, being shot in the head by children trained in the art of “hate”, and show those burned and drowned in cages on TV maybe that would wake them up to this nice peaceable “religion”? It’s not a religiion folks it an evil ideology.

Just ban everyone and charge them huge fees for vetting and send updates to all the federal judges, the nyt, cair and all the other obstructionists who must completely cook their crow before swallowing it.

America should be able to restrict any one from entering period especially with the world wide threat from Muslim terrorists. Let a couple more serious terrorists attacks happen here in America and see what happens. They’ll be an American Jihad for sure right back at the “So Called Religion Of Peace” I really don’t feel sorry for any Muslim any more because this Stupidty has gone on long enough.

There are some things to think over. In the muslim ideologies and traditions The Shias fight against The Sunnies. It has been going on about 500 yrs. How about the Christians 500yrs ago? There was a monk, Martin Luther, who mixed up the Catholic Europe by pointing out the flaws and misconducts of the catholic priests. Either side didn’t give up, so they started a war that lasted for about 100 yrs. It looks like it will take more than that, before the muslims find a way to settle their dispute. But if they do that, will they start some other dispute, united, against all ‘non true believers’…?
