S.CT. HANDS TRUMP PARTIAL, INTERIM VICTORY ON MUSLIM BAN


By Lawrence Hurley and Andrew Chung | WASHINGTON
WASHINGTON The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday handed a victory to President Donald Trump by reviving parts of a travel ban on people from six Muslim-majority countries that he said is needed for national security but that opponents decry as discriminatory.
 
The justices narrowed the scope of lower court rulings that had completely blocked key parts of a March 6 executive order that Trump had said was needed to prevent terrorism in the United States, allowing his temporary ban to go into effect for people with no strong ties such as family or business to the United States.

The court issued its order on the last day of its current term and agreed to hear oral arguments during its next term starting in October so it can decide finally whether the ban is lawful in a major test of presidential powers.

This was a compromise decision among the Justices.  The final decision will come next year.  At this point, this was a good decision. In his first big case, Gorsuch acted like a Trump toady.  I had higher hopes for him.
