Trump lauds Supreme Court order on travel ban as 'clear victory'
BY JORDAN FABIAN - 06/26/17 12:21 PM EDT 726
President Trump on Monday hailed a Supreme Court order allowing a limited version of his travel ban to take effect as a “clear victory for our national security.”
Trump said in a statement that his “number one responsibility” is “to keep the American people safe,” adding that the court’s ruling allows him to do just that.
“Today's unanimous Supreme Court decision is a clear victory for our national security,” the president said.
“Today's ruling allows me to use an important tool for protecting our nation's homeland,” he added. “I am also particularly gratified that the Supreme Court’s decision was 9-0.”
The high court on Monday morning partially reinstated the travel ban on people from six Muslim-majority Muslim countries and said it would hear arguments in a lawsuit against the controversial policy in October.
Travelers from Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen will not be allowed to enter the U.S. unless that can prove they have a “bona fide relationship with a person or entity” in the country.
Monday’s order was issued in an unsigned opinion on behalf of the entire court. Justices were not required to reveal their votes, so it is unclear if the ruling was truly unanimous. A majority of the court was needed to reinstate the ban in part and hear arguments in the fall.
Three conservative justices on the court — Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito and Neil Gorsuch — signed a separate opinion stating they wanted the travel ban fully reinstated.

Trump lauds Supreme Court order on travel ban as 'clear victory'
such a stupid piece of shyt
Imagine being mad at this ruling...the US literally bombs or undermines every country on this list Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen but a travel ban upsets you liberals?
they cant even pass a travel ban, and you think they're gonna pass a law that says "guess what, every pig in the country can stop and frisk every person in the country"?
it seems like it would be a political nightmare to impose, and a legal impossibility to pass

Yes, I see that as a possibility. If you told me Republicans would find a way to control local and state elections by drawing lines on a map, I wouldn't have believed you until I saw it with my own eyes.they cant even pass a travel ban, and you think they're gonna pass a law that says "guess what, every pig in the country can stop and frisk every person in the country"?

Can't tell if this is sarcasm or not (in HL the stupid is oft-blatant), but Merrick Garland is in the cut looking like the choice of the centuryOP when will you realize your girl Hillary would have appointed the same type of judges, or even worse!
- you know who
Wait till Trump selects Ted Cruz when RBG kicks the can.Can't tell if this is sarcasm or not (in HL the stupid is oft-blatant), but Merrick Garland is in the cut looking like the choice of the century
The fact he has increased American escalation across the mideast is a sign of Imperial overreach. There was report where US spec ops are stretched thin,exhausted and increased suicide is eroding their effectiveness. These nikkas have been in combat non stop since 2001. I said it before Trump's election is going to accelerate America's decline. He has increased American power in the region but has no strategy which will lead to more war,crisis etc. And this nikka wants to go to war with Iran and North Korea on top of this. I wouldn't be surprised if his dumbass did that. He acts like an incompetent World War 1 general. Which will lead to American humiliation.You people can't see that this is just setting the ground work for war with these seven countries. Trump just wants to make sure none of these people can come in and blow shyt up after he starts dropping bombs over there.
This blueprint existed long before Trump decided to run. It was going to happen eventually.
**Insert Wesley Clarke video**
There supreme Court never was not this"Thomas said the government's interest in preserving national security outweighs any hardship to people denied entry into the country."
this is bad precedent. when the supreme court starts allowing the constitution and law to be usurped by any subjective "interest" we're getting into uncharted shyt. nationwide stop n frisk on deck.
Non sequiturImagine being mad at this ruling...the US literally bombs or undermines every country on this list Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen but a travel ban upsets you liberals?
