Trump Travel Ban Looks Poised for Victory
Quote:The U.S. Supreme Court appeared poised to uphold President Donald Trump’s travel ban as two key justices used an argument session to aim skeptical questions at a lawyer challenging the policy.

Hearing the last case of its nine-month term Wednesday, the court took its first direct look at a policy that indefinitely bars more than 150 million people from entering the country. Opponents, led at the high court by Hawaii, say Trump overstepped his authority and was motivated by anti-Muslim animus.

Chief Justice John Roberts suggested he doubted that the policy was unconstitutionally tainted by Trump’s campaign call for a Muslim ban at the border. Roberts asked whether those types of comments would prevent a president from taking the advice of his military staff to launch an air strike against Syria.

Another pivotal justice, Anthony Kennedy, suggested he understood Katyal to be asking the court to second-guess the president on whether a national-security emergency warranted border restrictions.

"Your argument is that courts have the duty to review whether or not there is such a national exigency," Kennedy said with a tone of incredulity. "That’s for the courts to do, not the president?"

Hope it's upheld so I can say, "up yours Yates".

RE: Trump Travel Ban Looks Poised for Victory
The general consensus seems to be the travel "suspension" was favorably received by the court, even among some liberal papers. But, not surprisingly, the New York Times tells its readers "Key justices seem skeptical." Doesn't seem like a winning long term strategy for NYT. But then maybe all they want is to keep their readers angry that things always happen the opposite of what they expect. Must be some conspiracy.

Good.

We don’t need 150 million more people here anyway.
