WASHINGTON (AP) The Supreme Court says the Trump administration can strictly enforce its ban on refugees, but is leaving in place a weakened travel ban that includes grandparents among relatives who can help visitors from six mostly Muslim countries get into the U.S.
The justices acted Wednesday on the administrations appeal of a federal judges ruling last week. U.S. District Judge Derrick Watson ordered the government to allow in refugees formally working with a resettlement agency in the United States. Watson also vastly expanded the family relations that refugees and visitors can use to get into the country.

That’s why they’re judges
Congress needs to pass some laws.
(Ha, who am I kidding?)
This is not a win, it is just a Supreme Court notching out a little more of the Presidents rightful Constitutional power. Trump should stop all immigration until the courts butt out.

Garbage ruling. Roberts is a joke.
Judges increasingly view themselves as wise men who can create the law based on what they think is appropriate.
Most of those “grandparents” are between 35-45 years old.
I assume the Dread Pirate Roberts re-wrote the ban like he re-wrote “CommieCare?
The supreme court justices are actually MAKING LAW. They’re changing the president’s executive order.
Gross error. Either the Executive has authority over immigration policy or it doesn’t (it’s supposed to). As is so often the case the court has reinforced lower courts’ intrusion into areas where they have no authority whatsoever. Chopping the infant in two to please the fainting moralists in the mob.
Lol..what? Congress do something that’s not about lining their donors and their pockets?
In some cities in this country that's the age of the great grandparents.
I suspect Obama managed to get dirt on Roberts years ago and is still able to control him using it.
Start cycling up and down the generational ladder, from one person’s grandparents, to all their grandchildren, to all their grandparents, to all of those grandchildren, and in relatively short order you’ve spanned the entire human race.
Effectively, cousins of cousins of cousins...
ALL immigration? No one from Canada allowed to visit? No one from the UK? Or Germany? Yeah, thats a great idea.
yeah, actually it IS a good idea. There are many immigrants in ALL THREE of those places that want to kill ANYONE who isn’t “them”, or don’t you read or watch the news?
Visitation isn't immigration, though, right?
If the Communadians want to go shopping over the weekend in, say, Fargo, what the heck, ay?
If they try to stay a month---back to hell they go!
