Yes, the President has the authority to block people from coming into the country
Let's start with this. It was totally expected that the Administration (and Presidential authority in general) would win the day. The only real question was whether or not the ruling would somehow "temper" the travel ban in order to garner additional Justices. Obviously the ruling did not wallow into the areas of grey, but rather stuck with the black and white core of the issue. Ultimately the court upheld not only this particular ban specifically, but also the President's authority to place limits on immigration and travel in general.
This obviously is a bitter blow to those who suggested that Trump should not have the authority to make these decisions, or that he should be required to "run it by a Judge" before making these sort of executive calls. The Justices made it crystal clear (much like other cases this session) that it is not up to the courts to provide personal opinions regarding the merits of certain actions, but rather it is only up to the courts to decide the fundamental legality or constitutionality of an action.

The nutty 9th Circuit Court of Appeals gets overturned.......again.
The 9th Circus is the most overturned Curcuit court in the land.
Ette , Got T-Storms
Yep
Keith Ellison suggesting Gorsuch was bribed. What as *sshole.
Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN) suggested Tuesday morning that Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch had been bribed, after the Court handed down a 5-4 decision upholding President Donald Trump’s “travel ban” as constitutional.
Gorsuch, who joined the Court’s majority, had “done what his paymasters sent him there to do,” Ellison told CNN.
Ellison, who is deputy chair of the Democratic National Committee, had earlier compared the decision in Trump v. Hawaii to the Supreme Court’s infamous Dred Scott decision, which upheld slavery in the pre-Civil War era:
SCOTUS upholding Muslim/Travel ban is reminiscent of Taney Court’s Dred Scott decision, in which an partisan court reached a discriminatory holding to support a futile attempt at suppressing human dignity. The dustbin of history awaits this one too. https://t.co/FVSYJbbFVw

Oh HB, your Rosa Parks Waters is at it again. Handing out more threats and encouraging disorderly conduct.
"I'll tell you stuff only Bob Mueller and I know," Warner quipped to the crowd, according to Politico, referring to Mueller's probe into Russian meddling in the 2016 election and whether President Trump obstructed justice.
"If you think you’ve seen wild stuff so far, buckle up. It’s going to be a wild couple of months," Warner added.
Warner, the top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, made the comments at the DSCC’S annual Majority Trust retreat on Martha’s Vineyard, Mass., on Friday."
The travel ban is expected. It doesn't apply to the asylum seekers at the Mexican border.
His bigotry was ignored by the SCOTUS.
non sequitur
Lol, the defeat is hitting the ever emotional alky hard.

you are a simpleton
In the 5-4 opinion penned by Chief Justice John Roberts, the court found that Trump's immigration restriction fell "squarely" within the president's authority. The court rejected claims that the ban was motivated by religious hostility.
"The [order] is expressly premised on legitimate purposes: preventing entry of nationals who cannot be adequately vetted and inducing other nations to improve their practices," Roberts wrote. "The text says nothing about religion"
Roger is an Open Borders guy , but unwilling to open up his home , same with Janeand Dennis.
Well it would get crowded fast in Dennis’s double-wide.
Joe Biden is an ass.
Any place oPie is is "crowded".
He said he lives here.

You simply don't learn, do ya Rog?
The authority of the President to control the borders and who comes and goes is what was confirmed here with this decision. Their was no legal considerations for the constitutional rights of non-Americans.
The President can issue an executive order to put a temporary halt to any immigration, asylum, and any other travel from non-Americans from any country from Mexico down to Central America.
The exact same legal considerations would exist, and the USSC would ultimately overrule whatever idiot Federal Judge who (once again) chooses to ignore the constitution, federal law, and USSC precedent and rule against Trump as a matter of "resistance".
Impressive. It even has it’s own delux outhouse. Dennis is in the lap of luxury.

geezus alky, trump is basically kicking you guys in the nuts every fucking day.
and if you actually read the opinion, you just can't infer something like bigotry and expect the ruling to have any merit. 5 justices acknowledged this. the other four flunkies think they're social justice warriors, not supreme court justices.

if you possessed the intellect and reading comprehension to understand the actual statute, it applies to whatever country or set of countries trump wishes to ban. including third world shitholes like guatemala, honduras, nicaragua, mexico, venezuela, and wherever the fuck else trump would like to impose a restriction.
your snatch hat resistance is fizzling out alky. that was obvious when you guys were forced to attack trump administration officials in an attempt to remain relevant.
when are you guys going to shoot one, rog? we just know there's another hodgkinson out there. it's just a matter of who, when and where... not if.

CHANGE: Supreme Court Rules For Trump In Travel Ban Case.
Here’s the text of the opinion. And note this from the majority opinion:
Finally, the dissent invokes Korematsu v. United States, 323 U. S. 214 (1944). Whatever rhetorical advantage the dissent may see in doing so, Korematsu has nothing to do with this case. The forcible relocation of U. S. citizens to concentration camps, solely and explicitly on the basis of race, is objectively unlawful and outside the scope of Presidential authority. But it is wholly inapt to liken that morally repugnant order to a facially neutral policy denying certain foreign nationals the privilege of admission. See post, at 26–28. The entry suspension is an act that is well within executive authority and could have been taken by any other President—the only question is evaluating the actions of this particular President in promulgating an otherwise valid Proclamation. The dissent’s reference to Korematsu, however, affords this Court the opportunity to make express what is already obvious: Korematsu was gravely wrong the day it was decided, has been overruled in the court of history, and—to be clear—“has no place in law under the Constitution.” 323 U. S., at 248 (Jackson, J., dissenting).
Ouch. I believe this is also a formal overruling of Korematsu, since it’s signed by 5 justices. Note that FDR’s action is properly characterized here as racist.

alky's hero FDR was a racist. heh.
the USSC bitchslapped liberals TWICE today:
In the pregnancy center case, the court struck down a California law requiring pro-life crisis pregnancy centers to post notices letting their clients know that free or low-cost abortion and other services were available to low-income women. The majority ruled that the law violated the centers’ freedom of speech, overturning a Ninth Circuit decision from October 2016.

But the ruling opens the door for donnie to declare beaners a threat and ban them without question.....Yep, our sycophant friends love donnie authoritarian rule and my guess will never be smart enough to know the peril that involves by giving him the yard...he will take a mile....scary and the idiots like menstral don't know it....BTW, menstral, i'll be shitting in your front yard just for fun....LOLOL
How hard is it for today's Democrat?
It is a crime to ejaculate in a public place into food that will be served in a restaurant, but, now that is what is being advocated by the left.
Judge Roberts thinks this is rational for donnie......I think it is BS and roberts just handed the keys to our democracy to our autocrat in chief....
“the President concluded that it was necessary to impose entry restrictions on nationals of countries that do not share adequate information for an informed entry determination, or that otherwise present national security risks.”
Next, he'll ban jews.....or mexicans....or french...the door is wide open and you all think it is wonderful....Oh well, can't fix stupid!!!
Opie...
Nothing has changed. Every President has had the right to use travel bans and most of them have done so. The idiocy is that four of our USSC Justic es believed that we should effectively ignore the law and constitution (simply because they hate Trump).
This is why it was so important for Trump to win. Neil Gorsuch!!!
We cannot afford more partisan Justices who believe that they are entitled to overturn the constitution and the laws because they "feel" like it.
Don't be so hard on yourself fatty. We try to fix your stupidity daily.
This Court like so many past courts affirmed the rights of the Executive Branch.
I don't agree with Mitch McConnell on much, but, he gave a lot of Conservatives a reason to vote. By voting Trump , we the People assured a strong USSC. Now onto replacing two more US Court Justices.
Gingburg
Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg told an Egyptian TV station that she would not recommend the U.S. Constitution as model for Egypt’s new government.
The problem, you see, is that the U.S. Constitution is “a rather old constitution.” Ginsburg "
