The Supreme Court on Tuesday upheld President Trump’s

travel ban affecting several mostly Muslim countries, offering a limited

endorsement of the president’s executive authority on immigration in one of

the hardest-fought battles of this term.

The 5-4 ruling marks the first major high court decision on a Trump

administration policy. It upholds the selective travel restrictions, which critics

called a discriminatory “Muslim ban” but the administration argued was

needed for security reasons.

In a written statement, Trump called the ruling "a tremendous victory for

the American People and the Constitution." As critics continued to decry

the policy as "xenophobic," Trump described the court decision as "a moment

of profound vindication following months of hysterical commentary from the

media and Democratic politicians who refuse to do what it takes to secure our

border and our country."

LT, this is your best ava ever... it reminds me of Livia's for some reason

Glad to hear the ban has passed. I think that the message needs to be sent that security is a priority for us going forward... it is really difficult to screen for these individuals if the countries on the other end are not doing their part. Otherwise I think we could just do per individual-basis...

I don't have much time to read the entire article, but I'm curious the list of countries we are blocking and the actual reasoning behind this... will have to look it up later.
