This issue is not "travel". The issue is invasion. This is a most basic constitutional issue that mandates the federal government stop invasion.
The United States...shall protect each [state] against invasion
U.S. Const. art. IV, sec. 4.
Trump's argument is first and foremost a Constitutional argument, not a federal statute argument. Illegal immigration and immigration of our enemies are INVASION which the Constitution specifically mandates the federal government to prevent. Don't repeat the Lying Leftists Labels. This and related articles should be posted as an Invasion Ban Order.
It’s fine that on 9-11, SCOTUS apparently agreed with this constitutional mandate that Trump is enforcing, but either way, Trump should be (and I think is) proceeding on the basis of the Rule of law of the Constitution which is the Supreme Law of the Land over the federal government including the courts and SCOTUS (U.S. Const. art. VI, cl. 4).
Yep. To rule against him, the SCOTUS would lose any semblence of credibility they still have. The 9th has nothing to lose so they can do what they want. The SCOTUS is a bit more restrained from such foolishness.
Yep
Travel ban is a perversion of the language. The users of the term are perverts
I personally would agree with that on a conceptual level.
I am not anti-immigration. I am simply opposed to immigration the way we are currently doing it. (who is given priority, methods of determining suitability, etc.)
I agree.
