The Supreme Court has cancelled an oral argument hearing, scheduled for October 10, about President Trump's travel ban issued by executive order earlier this year.
The hearing was taken off the schedule after the President issued a new ban and restrictions Sunday night, adding additional countries and laying out specific national security requirements for entry into the United States.
Sudan has been dropped from the original travel ban list, while Iran, Libya, Syria, Yemen, and Somalia remain. Iraq has also been dropped, although increased vetting has been implemented. North Korea, Chad and Venezuela have been added with varying levels of vetting and restrictions for each country. Citizens traveling from North Korea and Venezuela are not affected, only government officials.
“Following an extensive review by the Department of Homeland Security, we are taking action today to protect the safety and security of the American people by establishing a minimum security baseline for entry into the United States,” Trump said. “We cannot afford to continue the failed policies of the past, which present an unacceptable danger to our country. My highest obligation is to ensure the safety and security of the American people, and in issuing this new travel order, I am fulfilling that sacred obligation.”
The case surrounding President Trump's authority to ban individuals from entry into the United States will likely continue when new briefs opposing the ban are filed with the Supreme Court. In other words, this is far from over.
“Six of President Trump's targeted countries are Muslim. The fact that Trump has added North Korea, with few visitors to the U.S., and a few government officials from Venezuela doesn't obfuscate the real fact that the administration's order is still a Muslim ban. President Trump's original sin of targeting Muslims cannot be cured by throwing other countries onto his enemies list,” the ACLU, which opposes the administration, released in a statement.
Yes I know.
Thank you henkster for your cogent response, but my simple mind wants to know, can our POTUS ban these terrorists or not.
Not sure if this was Madison or Hamilton.
Yes. If five people in black robes say he can.
I don't see Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Pakistan, or Indonesia on the list... for starters. Guess he whiffed on a whole lotta Muslims in this Muslim ban.
>> Any Islamic nation should be BANNED.....period. We want our nation secure that is the way to do it.
Let the communist scream, take it to the communist plants in the courts but our President has the authority to do it under the law. DO NOT BACK DOWN...ef them and protect our Nation by doing the right thing.
Appeasing the Communists among us and their Islamic allies will only get us killed.<<
Well and truly said, and needs to be put on billboards all across the country.
Yes, he shot himself, but did not kill himself.
He may still be taking up space in the local hospital.
It would be ‘terrible’ if his plasma intake bags somehow got ‘mixed up’ with his roommates colostomy bags.
BOOM! That’s all I really need to know. Good news.
We should break up the 9th Circuit into 2 courts. More reasonable rulings by a new, less liberal court.
The problem is SCOTUS and often the circuit courts are the ones spewing the new and crazy unconstrained rulings, not so much the district courts.
The ACLU needs to mutilate the genitals of more girls?
