Default Supreme Court to Rule on President Trump's Travel Ban Today

Apparently the Supreme Court is going to Rule on President Trump's Travel Ban Today.

Anyone want to bet that they will overturn the lower court's or should I say the Liberal court's injunction?

Wouldn't that be awesome.

The president should be able to say who can, and cannot come into their country

Sure would. I expect it because under the Constitution the President has full desecration in making that decision.

I believe that would be the case in monarchy/dictatorship/etc. Civilized world does not run this way.

Hilariously, mistakenly, a gem of a description. LOL

From Wikipedia:
Desecration is the act of depriving something of its sacred character, or the disrespectful, contemptuous, or destructive treatment of that which is held to be sacred or holy by a group or individual.

Yup, that's Donald.

When Willie Sutton was once asked “why do you pick banks to rob,” he replied “because that’s where the money is.” Not all the money, but enough of it to prioritize banks. Similarly, when asked why these six countries were prioritized, the Trump administration responds, “because that’s where the terrorists are,” — not all of them but these countries aren’t vetting them properly.

The inclusion of the six Islamic countries in the travel ban is rational. It may not be the best list. Perhaps there should be no country list at all. But that is a judgement allocated by Congress and the Constitution to the executive branch. It is subject, of course, to the constraints of the Constitution. But the judicial branch will generally defer to the executive branch on matters involving national security, unless there is a clear violation of the Constitution.

In my opinion, that high threshold has not been reached in this case. So I predict the Supreme Court, if it gets the case, will find the new executive order constitutional.

Except monarchs/dictators are not usually elected to lead their country.

All I am saying is that it is funny that you think the ban will be put in place.

Is the ruling (by Supreme Court) even supposed to take place today?

No ruling today. Hence, whatever wag had posted is what I though you were talking about.
Quote:
Those opposed to President Trump's travel ban have until Monday afternoon to file responses to a petition filed with the Supreme Court, according to CNN.

Currently, justices are deciding whether they will take on the Trump Administration's appeal on his travel ban. As they do that, the Trump Administration is asking the Supreme Court to let his travel ban go into effect.

Monday's deadline comes about two weeks before the Supreme Courts' term is scheduled to end.
