Donald Trump’s travel ban on Moslem-majority countries has been upheld by the Supreme Court today. This is definitely good news.
The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday handed Donald Trump one of the biggest victories of his presidency, upholding his travel ban targeting several Muslim-majority countries and rejecting the argument that it represented unconstitutional religious discrimination.
The 5-4 ruling, with the court’s five conservatives in the majority, ended a fierce fight in the courts over whether the policy amounted to an unlawful Muslim ban. Trump quickly claimed “profound vindication” after lower courts had blocked his travel ban announced in September, as well as two prior versions, in legal challenges brought by the state of Hawaii and others.
The court held that the challengers had failed to show that the ban violates either U.S. immigration law or the U.S. Constitution’s First Amendment prohibition on the government favoring one religion over another.
The entire legal challenge was always a joke. The fact that this had to go all the way to the Supreme Court and only get upheld by a 5-4 vote is ridiculous. Immigration laws passed by Congress give the President enormous discretion over who is and isn’t allowed into the country. This is just a basic fact.
SUPREME COURT UPHOLDS TRUMP TRAVEL BAN. Wow!

And besides, Trump’s travel bans were against individual countries. Yes, these countries have large Moslem populations but not every person in them is a Moslem. And he didn’t order bans against all countries that have a majority-Moslem population. So the entire legal argument has always been an insane joke. The lower court judges that overturned Trump’s travel ban did so because they are Communists and are engaging in activism from the bench.
So yeah, the Moslem ban is and always has been Constitutional. All you Jews and leftists who want America turned into a brown shithole can choke on your tears for all I care. That includes you Chuck!
