Yeah, Dems, show in the law what Trump did in his legitimate authority is “illegal animosity.”

And “illegal animosity” does not mean “do something we don’t like.”

Yes, SCOTUS did hear a case and it came out in favor of Trump.

This is the latest challenge by a commie federal judge.

How many times does this stuff need to go through the courts before enough is enough?

Points I think are important:

1. The travel ban has been used by various previous presidents, including Democrats. The legality of the president issuing travel restrictions by exec order is well established, and explicitly allowed by a law from. 1952, I believe.

2. As far as targeting anyone, Muslims or anyone else, the law also allows the president to restrict entry of “classes of aliens”. So by definition , a president exercising authority under this law will have to define who exactly is being banned from entry.

3. As far as animosity or other legal terms, those concepts apply to American citizens, not foreigners. Foreigners do not have the same constitutional rights that you and I have. So it’s bogus for courts to start from the premise that aliens have some constitutional rights to enter American in the first place.

So, the courts are supposed to be ruling on whether the president has complied with the law, and executed authority lawfully, NOT whether this travel ban is a good idea per liberals. Liberals do not like this exec order. But just because it offends the sensibilities of liberals, hardly means that the order is unconstitutional.

“illegal animosity toward Muslims”

Which law exactly forbids “animosity toward Muslims”?

The Law is an Ass.

We have had a revolution in our misnamed “Justice system” back in 1913 where Just Law is now Positive Law (irrational and evil man-made-up “law”)——no Rule of Law (Higher Law/God’s Law/Science/Reason/Logic/Objective Truth). It is banned for Rule of Oligarchy and the “justices” need to be in prison for treason. They make up words and “good and evil” which is as Nietzsche knew, quite impossible.

Since 1913, Right Reason according to Natural Law was rejected for Austin’s Positive (irrational) “law” where Evil, slavery, baby-killing, sodomy, etc. is “good”. It is all revisionism and destruction of Language (reason) for slavery and inequality.

It is a 2000 year effort of flipping Good and Evil back to the paganism and satanism of the atheist Marxist, sadists, pederasts, collective ideologies which destroy free will and individual Natural Rights from God.

They have gotten away with this complete flip (as Dostoevsky noted and Solzhenitsyn) by killing and banning God (Objective Truth) from our public square and annihilation of Jesus, the archetype of Good, for Satanism (sodomy, baby-killing and degeneracy of the lowest, most vile kind). They condition and brainwash our children through their evil public skool system which destroys virtue formation in children and embeds degeneracy, vice, narcissism and sloth which will collapse civilization—which is their aim—for totalitarian control of the world.

I’d like for the commie judges that came up with that to explain it to all of us, I’d bet SCOTUS is going to shoot ‘em down.

Which laws? None.
It’s not just within the powers of the executive, it’s their duty.
Democrats have sold us out for so long they have forgotten that the salient job of the federal government is to defend the several states from foreign threats.
Jimmuh Cartuh banned Iranians.
We have banned communists and anarchists.
Were there objections? No. Americans understood they represented a clear and present danger.
The genesis of our constitutional convention, May-Sept. 1787, was the havoc Tripoli pirates (muslims) were inflicting on our merchant ships after the British navy cut us loose and we needed a navy.

Most Americans understand this isn’t “illegal animosity”. It is is the Democrats’ colossal butt hurt over their loss of the WH a year ago and inability to continue their hurtful agenda. And they knew that the S woud HTF when they were no longer able to cover up their treason.

You’re thinking about this using logic and common sense. This is politics. None of that applies.

Politics is a scam and we’re suckers for playing.
