Supreme Court Partially Revives Travel Ban, Will Hear Appeal (bloomberg.com)

From a report: The U.S. Supreme Court partially revived President Donald Trump's travel ban and said the justices will hear arguments in the fall. The justices said the ban can apply for now only to people who don't have a "credible claim of a bona fide relationship with a person or entity in the United States." From a NYT report: Mr. Trump's revised executive order, issued in March, limited travel from six mostly Muslim countries for 90 days and suspended the nation's refugee program for 120 days. The time was needed, the order said, to address gaps in the government's screening and vetting procedures. [...] The United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, in San Francisco, recently blocked both the limits on travel and the suspension of the refugee program. It ruled on statutory rather than constitutional grounds, saying Mr. Trump had exceeded the authority granted him by Congress. The court agreed to review both cases, and said it would hear arguments in October, noting that the government had not asked it to act faster.

I'll take this over the 'we're all friends, stick my head in my own ass and sing lalalalalala' of the previous idiot in charge. The lunacy of just letting in the bad guys...do you people not watch what is going on over seas? You think that's not going to happen here? Most of these countries despise us and will always despise us - it's in their blood and their religion. They are not coming here to assimilate. They are coming here to supplant. Their values do not mingle with ours - to expect them to drop those values is stupid...and dangerous.

And no one said 'ban travel forever'. What the F is wrong with hitting the pause button and making sure these people aren't bad guys? Seriously? Get your head out of your ass.

So you libtards keep acting like the world is at peace - and when they start blowing shit up here, the blood is on YOUR hands.

Yes, intent does. The Constitution strictly forbids religious tests. If an Administration is attempting to use its powers to implement a religious test, then it has violated the First Amendment.
