Supreme Court upholds travel ban by Presidential order.

So... the President really is allowed to do the things it's spelled out in law that he's allowed to do. Imagine that.

THAT'S RACIST!

(Even though Islam is a religion, not a race)

THAT'S RACIST TO POINT OUT THAT ISLAM IS NOT A RACE!

Sad that four of the black robes don't understand the Constitution.

Interesting that in the AP article ( https://apnews.com/3a20abe305bd4c989116f82bf535393b/Court-upholds-Trump-travel-ban,-rejects-discrimination-claim ) they proclaim that the ban was upheld by "the conservative majority." I find it interesting that when Kennedy votes their way he's portrayed as "the swing vote," but when he votes the other way he's a conservative, and part of "the conservative majority."

I don't know why Muslims would want to come here. Don't they know we're mean to the precious little immigrant dreamer children? I heard ICE was eating them.

The sad part to me was that this got all the way to the SC.  That 4 SC Justices voted against it is criminal.

This; it's not even a question of interpretation.  The power is explicitly at the discretion of the Executive.

  • I spent a week in that town one night....
Yahoo news referred to it as "Trump's so-called Travel Ban".   No bias there...nope, none at all.
Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

Fixed all better now.
