It's pretty scary that this wa a 5-4 decision. It proves that the libs on the court have now completely abandoned the law and Constitution and are ruling purely on agenda.
The President clearly has this power. It's not even vague. The only way it could have been struck down would be if it did ban all muslims. That would have brought the first amendment into play. But they re-wrote the order so the basis was country of origin not religion. And the list of countires were not randomly chosen. They are countries identified by the UN as not having the infrastructure to complete a background check.
To rule against this ban is to willfully ignore the law and to play ignorant to the actual reason why the countries were chosen. muslim nations that have their **** together and can verify the identities of travelers from their country are NOT on the list. Only those being selectively ignorant will make the case that the basis is religion.
I expect ignorance from the media, but it's damn scary to come from the supreme court.
And what is conveniently forgotten is that Venezuela and North Korea are also on the list. Not sure, but I don't think there are many Muslims in either place.
