According to CNBC only two members of the Supreme Court, Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Sonia Sotomayor, dissented yesterday on the case of the President’s travel ban on people coming from Chad, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Syria and Yemen.
This is not a final ruling on the travel ban: Challenges to the policy are winding through the federal courts, and the justices themselves ultimately are expected to rule on its legality.
But the action indicates that the high court might eventually approve the latest version of the ban, announced by President Donald Trump in September. Lower courts have continued to find problems with the policy.
[…]
In lawsuits filed in Hawaii and Maryland, federal courts said the updated travel ban violated federal immigration law. The travel policy also applies to travelers from North Korea and to some Venezuelan government officials and their families, but the lawsuits did not challenge those restrictions. Also unaffected are refugees.
So, it’s anti-Muslim, well, except for North Koreans and some commies from Venezuela – none of whom are Muslims. Just people who might be a threat to our national security – you know, like people from these six countries might be a threat.
And didn’t The One do the same thing? I didn’t hear anyone whining about it then.
It’s not what he or Trump did, it’s how the progs feel about what was done, and who actually did it. That’s what’s important.
That sound you hear off in the distance is Liberal heads exploding.
It’s almost Beethoven in impact … with a little Mozart tinkling in the background.
I love the noise made when proglodyte heads explode, it sounds like victory!
Well, this is good news for the nonce.
Ask most cities like say, Dearborn, if they need more Somalis.
Dearbornistan doesn’t want more Somalis, they want more Iraqis, Saudis, Pakis, and Syrians. Just to name a few.
MAGA 2020!
Actually the two who dissented, according to Tucker Carlson, are Soda Sotamayor and Ruth Gator Binsburg as he slipped up in his introduction to his segment with Mark Steyn yesterday evening.

How come the dem libs were not screaming when Der Herr
King 1 obama brought the same countries up.
I’m surprised that Ginsburg was sober long enough to cast a vote.
I want a pulse check. I wouldn’t be surprised if she’s a weekend at Bernie’s puppet.
Ginsberg is on life support like Stephen Hawkings. They are trollied out on remote controlled chairs and have “spokespersons” interpret or make statements for them. Hawkings has a defective Speak ‘N Spell. Ginsberg has a scratchy burlap table doily disguising a breathing tube.
I wonder where Kagen was?
The problem is that The Progressives want rule by Government and when that doesn’t work out, rule by the Judiciary. Rule is the key word here. This is why Obama spent 8 yrs frantically stuffing the Judicial System with fellow travelers.
I’d like to see a “loser Pays” system in place to stop these frivolous lawsuits and SCOTUS review obviously politically motivated rulings by out of control judges such as those in the 9th Circuit including that fool in Hawaii and throw them off the bench.
If you read the Supremes’ 5-4 decision upholding the travel ban, you will probably do a great deal of head scratching. Read and scratch, if you like. My take is that the whole thing pivots on whether the president had a rational basis to establish the ban, and the majority concluded that he did. [De]Sotomoyer went off the deep end, railing in her dissent about Trump’s off-the-cuff comments about Muslims and the need for the judiciary effectively to wrest policy setting from the president, if not lawmaking from him and the Congress. Her dissent is precisely why the Supreme Court can be the most dangerous threat to our republican democracy. Thank goodness Trump’s immediate predecessor in office did not have another appointment to make. He did more than enough damage with OJT Kagan and De-Sotomayor. By the way, have you seen a pic of Sonia lately? Whoa Nellie.
