The court said Monday the ban on visitors from Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen could be enforced as long as they lack a “credible claim of a bona fide relationship with a person or entity in the United States.” The justices will hear arguments in the case in October.

Court partly reinstates Trump travel ban, fall arguments set
By MARK SHERMAN, Associated Press, June 26, 2017:Story continues below advertisementWASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court is letting a limited version of the Trump administration ban on travel from six mostly Muslim countries to take effect, a victory for President Donald Trump in the biggest legal controversy of his young presidency.
The court said Monday the ban on visitors from Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen could be enforced as long as they lack a “credible claim of a bona fide relationship with a person or entity in the United States.” The justices will hear arguments in the case in October.
Trump said last week that the ban would take effect 72 hours after being cleared by courts.
The Trump administration said the 90-day ban was needed to allow an internal review of the screening procedures for visa applicants from those countries. That review should be complete before Oct. 2, the first day the justices could hear arguments in their new term.
A 120-ban on refugees also is being allowed to take effect on a limited basis.
Three of the court’s conservative justices said they would have let the complete bans take effect.
Justice Clarence Thomas, joined by Justices Samuel Alito and Neil Gorsuch, said the government has shown it is likely to succeed on the merits of the case, and that it will suffer irreparable harm with any interference. Thomas said the government’s interest in preserving national security outweighs any hardship to people denied entry into the country.
Two federal appeals courts had blocked the travel policy, which Trump announced a week after he took office in January and revised in March after setbacks in court.
The 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond, Virginia, said the ban was “rooted in religious animus” toward Muslims and pointed to Trump’s campaign promise to impose a ban on Muslims entering the country as well as tweets and remarks he has made since becoming president.
The San Francisco-based 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said the travel policy does not comply with federal immigration law, including a prohibition on nationality-based discrimination. That court also put a hold on separate aspects of the policy that would keep all refugees out of the United States for 120 days and cut by more than half, from 110,000 to 50,000, the cap on refugees in the current government spending year that ends September 30.
Trump’s first executive order on travel applied to travelers from the six countries as well as Iraq, and took effect immediately, causing chaos and panic at airports over the last weekend in January as the Homeland Security Department scrambled to figure out who the order covered and how it was to be implemented.
A federal judge blocked it eight days later, an order that was upheld by a 9th circuit panel. Rather than pursue an appeal, the administration said it would revise the policy.

Real Americans took our country back from globalist elite! We wanted our jobs and our nation back! Our healthcare was too expensive. Mine is $700/month now (thanks to Obamacare). My car insurance is still $25 per month (from Insurance Panda), but what are the Democrats plans for that? If you look at Democrat strongholds like Detroit and New Orleans, car insurance will run you $300+ per month!
I don’t care what his taxes are or say. I just want him in office. Bet we will never see all Hillary’s off shore accounts and the records of all the money she filtered through the Clinton foundation. Crook!!

That is much lost time and added danger to the survival of the nation..6 years agoReply to Mark SteinerIts Big first step in the Right direction .
Its Great to know at least SC upholds the Law , Thank god Hillary did not win or SC would have been loaded with Left/Liberal pro-jihadi Loony judges.
But the 90 day ban is absurd. It should be ban on all muslims from all 57 islamic states.
Left/Liberal Loons have bought and sold the “Islam is religion of peace” while ignoring the history of jihad and the present active ongoing jihadi attacks .
While Muslim youths practice the art of torturing and beheading infidels http://bit.ly/2tlUWt3 …. to prepare for future jihadi attacks !
Left/Liberal Loons Run away when they are attacked !

6 years agoReply to Mark SteinerTRUMP supporters need to ask for a Travel Ban on NORTH KOREA (or an executive order re-enforcing it).
WHY??
Because it is a clever strategy to move the debate away from Islam; and refocus it on the powers of the Commander in chief when it comes to issues of national security and war.Do it now before October! spread the idea if you can.
6 years agoReply to TDA Travel ban on NORTH KOREA, strengthens the travel ban on RADICAL Islamic countries like IRAN!
It’s a good political move!Call for it! Ask for it!
6 years agoReply to Mark SteinerWell at least the door was opened…Our president will tread lightly at first but before his term is over we will see a complete ban of all Muslims entering into this country with the backing of the American people. Most in this country do not want them here and all Americans in the know which is about half do not want any Muslims in this country…We need to educate the other 50% on the true dangers of Islam and then we can put a 100% ban on importation…

6 years agoNow it is time to punish every judge which opposed the ban. Who do they answer to for wrong-doing?
They must be disbarred, tried for Treason and convicted.

It’s a good political move! because it takes the debate away from the Islama-phobia crap that left spews out.Trump supporters should Call for it! Ask for it!
6 years agoI’m not sure that there is so much to celebrate here. Clearly, Alito, Thomas and Gorsuch will side with the President when the merits of the case are heard in October. Just as clearly, Roberts and Kennedy may not. Why leave the injunctions in place at all? Few Executive prerogatives are as explicit as the one surrounding immigration, but now it seems that Justice Roberts has added his own personal interpretation, and a “bona fide relationship with a person or entity in the United States” – which is mentioned exactly nowhere in the statute – is suddenly some kind of litmus test. Roberts is legislating with this ruling, and it doesn’t bode well.
6 years agoReply to Deplorable B ChurchExactly right. Roberts proved himself to be a libtard idiot and statist when he said Oblabber care was a tax when, in fact, it did not originate in the house as required for taxes.
6 years agoReply to Deplorable B ChurchThe ace in the hole for President Trump that has not even been hinted so far is that all the countries listed in the ban are classed as failed states with the exception of Iran, and it wouldn’t take much for it to be as well.
6 years agoPresident Trump will achieves the goals he has set out, crushing a lot of democrats and ring’s in the process.
6 years agoReply to Mahou ShoujoA travel ban to NORTH KOREA may be THE KEY to winning the argument over the travel ban to certain Muslim countries!

6 years agoWell, expect the insane leftists to be out rioting in the streets over this for the next several months. As though they really needed an excuse.
6 years agoThis is not a good decision. Thomas, Alito and Gorsuch got it right. The rest of the court created and exception out of thin air. They did not rule on the law, they just made it up.
6 years agoIt is a miserable compromise because this decision compromised the constitutional authority of the President to achieve this large majority, opening the doors to endless motions and suits by leftist attorneys on a case by case basis regarding the special interests exceptions. And after all that we have been less protected for five months. Trump is still limited by the advice of those around him because evidently he believes that he must subject his constitutional authority to what is in truth judicial interference with his policy decisions that are solely within his authority.
6 years agoCarter, Obama, Bush Jr. and other Presidents used the SAME law to ban people from other countries for national security reasons. Yes, even Obama used this during his FIRST term to fool people of his agenda.

We can NOT accept them. There is a HOLD on his CAP on refugees.

6 years agoWith an unanimous ruling by the SCOTUS do not look for an “October surprise” when arguments are heard in the case. What was always known, except to the lower courts, is that the ban complies in every aspect with public law as contained in 8 US Code, Section 1182, entitled “Inadmissible Aliens”.
6 years agoGood news, but the “relatives” point is ridiculous.
They all are inbreeds and each of them is a “relative” to the other.
It’s so dumb. If Syrians arrive with a fake passports, they will find the fake “relatives” the same way. Same apply to the rest of the invaders. This “bona fide” crap should be excluded.6 years agoTitle 8, Chapter 12, US Code 1182:
(f) Suspension of entry or imposition of restrictions by President
Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate. Whenever the Attorney General finds that a commercial airline has failed to comply with regulations of the Attorney General relating to requirements of airlines for the detection of fraudulent documents used by passengers traveling to the United States (including the training of personnel in such detection), the Attorney General may suspend the entry of some or all aliens transported to the United States by such airline.
This is current law. He doesn’t need Congress or the SCOTUS to say it’s OK.6 years ago“Bona fide relationship with a person or entity in the United States.” Does that include suicide bombers?
6 years agoCUT THE CRAP. ISLAM MUST BE EXTERMINATED. HERE’S HOW.
Islam is a political system, NOT a religion, and unless and until humanity wakes the hell up and STOPS referring to it as a religion, there is no hope. Islam is a hyper-aggressive, militaristic, expansionist, totalitarian political system designed to create a super-rich micro-oligarchical ruling class with a massive, destitute, genetically handicapped underclass below.
Here is a quote from Osama bin Laden that sums it all up:
“Our talks with the infidel West and our conflict with them ultimately revolve around one issue; one that demands our total support, with power and determination, with one voice, and it is: Does Islam, or does it not, force people by the power of the sword to submit to its authority corporeally if not spiritually? Yes. There are only three choices in Islam: [1] either willing submission [conversion]; or [2] payment of the jizya, through physical, though not spiritual, submission to the authority of Islam; or [3] the sword, for it is not right to let him [an infidel] live. The matter is summed up for every person alive: Either submit, or live under the suzerainty of Islam, or die.”
–Osama Bin Laden

The Genius of Trump’s Tweets
Rachel Alexander
President Donald Trump frequently comes under criticism for tweeting, even from his own advisers. But tweeting is probably the smartest thing he has done as president. He is able to speak directly to the American people without going through the biased mainstream media filter. The media doesn’t get to ask him slanted questions or pick and choose parts of his press releases to publish. Instead, Trump gets immense control over every single sentence he issues, which are then read by millions of Americans.
!
Mark Levin: Please, Mr. President, Keep Tweeting
“Keep at it, keep at it, keep at it.”
“If he doesn’t tweet, how in the world is he going to get his message out?”
“Thank you for taking on the media. It’s a damn about time somebody did. Don’t stop tweeting. Be more careful with your tweets, but don’t stop tweeting because you’re able to go over the head of the media the way Reagan did with his speeches. Reagan had a unique ability to communicate and he had to go over the head of the media with speeches that he could give. He was a superb communicator. And I got to thinking, Donald Trump does the same thing in his own way. He could be more careful. I don’t care. Are the media careful about what they report? No. In any event, I’m one of those — count me in the minority that says, ‘Keep at it, keep at it, keep at it.’”Petition Title: Please, Mr. President, Keep Tweeting
