Why do some of you guys care if the President is blocking anti-Semitic, anti-Christian, anti-gay, anti-women, Islamists from entering our country?
The law says he can. It's right there in the constitution.
Title 8, Chapter 12, US Code 1182
"Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate. Whenever the Attorney General finds that a commercial airline has failed to comply with regulations of the Attorney General relating to requirements of airlines for the detection of fraudulent documents used by passengers traveling to the United States (including the training of personnel in such detection), the Attorney General may suspend the entry of some or all aliens transported to the United States by such airline."
Seems to me the only ones who have tried to usurp the constitution were the liberal judges who blocked his orders. Good to see the SCOTUS rule by the law and not emotions.
The ruling was 5-4 after a year and half of sheer nonsense and the dissenters even brought up the irrelevant japanese internment history. I was hoping that it would be 7-1 with RBG recusing herself and the unwise latina being a lost cause. Far too optimistic of me to believe that 'liberals' can stop being deranged at some level. The only silver lining was Thomas making a note of national injunctions that stopped travel ban from going into effect all across the country and being put out like candy.
