Donald Trump, extreme vetting, Supreme Court Ruling, Travel Ban


UPDATE: The President tweeted the following just moments ago.

Very grateful for the 9-O decision from the U. S. Supreme Court. We must keep America SAFE!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 26, 2017

ORIGINAL POST:
Last week was a bad week for Progressives and it seems that this week may be more of the same. Progressives, especially the hens on The View are freaking out.

Fox News

In a victory for the Trump administration, the Supreme Court on Monday lifted key components of an injunction against President Trump’s proposed ban on travel from six majority-Muslim nations, reinstating much of the policy and promising to hear full arguments as early as this fall.

The court’s decision means the justices will now wade into the biggest legal controversy of the Trump administration — the president’s order temporarily restricting travel, which even Trump has termed a “travel ban….”

Continue Reading

President Trump issued the following statement.

 

As reported by SCOTUSBlog (excerpt):

Justices agree to weigh in on travel ban, allow parts of it to go into effect

…The announcement came in a brief, unsigned opinion issued by the justices when they took the bench this morning to release opinions in cases argued on the merits earlier this term. The court’s opinion focused primarily on the government’s request to reinstate the ban while the cases are before the Supreme Court. Emphasizing that the purpose of temporary relief like this is “to balance the equities as the litigation moves forward,” the court made clear that it had the authority to “tailor” its ruling so that it applied to some, but not all, of those affected.

That is precisely what it did. The lower courts had considered the hardships that the ban would create for the named plaintiffs in the case: two men with family members who want to come to the United States from the affected countries; and the state of Hawaii, whose state university had admitted students from those countries. But, the court explained today, the lower courts’ orders barring enforcement of the ban “reach much further than that,” because they also apply to people living overseas “who have no connection to the United States at all.” When those people are unable to come to the United States, the court reasoned, their constitutional rights are not violated – because they have no right to come to the United States – and their exclusion from the country does not harm anyone in the United States.

The justices therefore upheld the lower courts’ orders blocking enforcement of the ban with regard to the named plaintiffs and others like them – people who “have a credible claim” of a genuine relationship with someone or an institution in the United States. When that relationship is with an individual, the court made clear, it must be a close family member. And when the relationship is with an institution, the relationship must also be a genuine one, rather than one created just to get around the travel ban.

Justice Clarence Thomas filed a separate opinion, which was joined by Justices Samuel Alito and Neil Gorsuch. They would have allowed the government to reinstate the ban for all travelers from the six affected countries, regardless of any personal connection that those travelers might have with the United States. Thomas complained that today’s order could prove “unworkable,” requiring government officials to try to figure out whether would-be travelers have enough of an connection to the United States to come here, and could “invite a flood of litigation.”

The court combined the two cases for oral argument, which will take place in October of this year…

12 Must-Read Quotes From Scalia’s Blistering Same-Sex Marriage Dissent

gay-marriage, OBERGEFELL ET AL. v. HODGES, same sex marriage, Supreme Court Ruling


BEFUNKY screenshotsupremecourtsamesexmarriage

Handing the LGBT community and Barack Obama a victory, the Supreme Court ruled in a 5 to 4 decision in favor of gay marriage making it legal in all 50 states.

The ruling permits same sex couples to marry in all 50 states and “states must perform same sex marriages. Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote the opinion and Chief Justice John Roberts wrote the dissent, joined by Justices Antonin Scalia, Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas.”

TheBlaze by Chris Field

Anyone who thought Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia’s dissent in Thursday’s Obamacare—which Scalia now calls ‘SCOTUScare’— was intense should read his dissent in Friday’s 5-4 ruling mandating same-sex marriage in all 50 states. In fact, Fox News’ Andrew Napolitano said that Scalia’s Obamacare dissent ‘looks like a Christmas card’ compared to his rebuke of the majority today….

Scalia doesn’t hold back in his criticisms of the Supreme Court and the “wisdom” of five robed members of our federal government.

We pulled out a dozen of the best quotes from his blistering disagreement with the SCOTUS majority (emphasis added):

No. 1: SCOTUS Is a ‘Threat’

‘I write separately to call attention to this Court’s threat to American democracy.’

No. 2: Our New Rulers

‘[I]t is not of special importance to me what the law says about marriage. It is of overwhelming importance, however, who it is that rules me. Today’s decree says that my Ruler, and the Ruler of 320 million Americans coast-to-coast, is a majority of the nine lawyers on the Supreme Court. The opinion in these cases is the furthest extension in fact—and the furthest extension one can even imagine—of the Court’s claimed power to create ‘liberties’ that the Constitution and its Amendments neglect to mention. This practice of constitutional revision by an unelected committee of nine, always accompanied (as it is today) by extravagant praise of liberty, robs the People of the most important liberty they asserted in the Declaration of Independence and won in the Revolution of 1776: the freedom to govern themselves…..’

While we’re on the subject, check out Grumpy Opinions post entitled, “5 Justices Just Trashed The Accumulated Knowledge of Mankind, and the Constitution.” Definitely a worth read (excerpt below).

26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as ‘normal, natural, healthy.’ The 45 Communist Goal Necessary To Destroy America.

George Washington, our first President viewed “sodomy” or homosexual relations with “Abhorrence and Detestation.”

As a member of the Virginia Legislature, Thomas Jefferson proposed a law that would punish homosexual males by castration and a half inch hole drilled through the nose cartridge of lesbians. His colleagues disagreed, hanging was faster and cheaper. When our Constitution was written homosexuality was a hanging offense in all thirteen states. For a brief period Pennsylvania experimented with short prison terms, it took them less than 20 years to go back to hanging them.

Needless to say, back then, a discussion about gay marriage wouldn’t have ended well for supporters of the idea….

Finally, Progressives are doing what they do best when a Black person refuses to tend the fields of their plantation. Clarence Thomas is trending on twitter courtesy of foul-mouthed, racists, many self-loathing petards all too thrilled to tote that barge and lift that bail on their Progressive slave master’s plantation.

The ObamaCare Ruling As Legal Gnosticism

King v. Burwell, Obamacare, Supreme Court Ruling


BEFUNKY supremecourt004 original image sourcewikimediacommonscreativecommonslicense
Rhymes with Right

In the early Christian church, there arose the Gnostic heresy. It diverged wildly from the orthodox teachings of the Christian community in a number of ways, among them in the belief that Biblical texts have a deep, hidden meaning which could only be understood by those initiated into the “secret wisdom” to which the Gnostics claimed access. Thus the average believer might understand a scriptural text to have a clear meaning based upon the written word, but those who were initiates would understand the actual meaning which lurked beneath the text because they were “in the know”.

Frankly, I have not thought much about the Gnostics in the two decades since I left the seminary — but that changed this morning after the announcement of the Supreme Court decision in King v. Burwell. Why? Because the majority opinion goes to great lengths to show that the actual text of the statute establishing ObamaCare means something other than what the words clearly state — just trust the enlightened initiates whose special knowledge enables them to see a meaning quite different than what those words actually say!

‘Today’s decision in King v. Burwell is notable in many respects. It is a significant legal victory for the Obama Administration, a victory for purposivist statutory interpretation, a loss for textualism, and a loss for an expansive Chevron doctrine. In these latter respects, the decision is something of a double-loss for Justice Scalia (which may explain the last line of his opinion). King also means that, in many respects, the PPACA is now the law that Chief Justice Roberts wrote as here, as in NFIB v. Sebelius, the Chief Justice has decided it is the Court’s job to determine what the statute means — even if this requires ignoring or rewriting text — if such is necessary in order to save it. The umpire has decided it’s okay to pinch hit to ensure the right team wins….

Affirmative Action Debate – Jennifer Gratz vs. Shanta Driver – Fox News Sunday 04272014

Jennifer Gratz Shanta Driver Univ Michigan SCOTUS ruling ban affirmative action

 

 

Published on Apr 27, 2014 by RightSightings

The Supreme Court delivered a huge blow to Affirmative Action this week by siding with Michigan. FNC’s Chris Wallace hosts this spirited debate between Jennifer Gratz (XIV Foundation CEO) and Shanta Driver (Civil Rights Attorney) as they weigh in with their take on the Supreme Court decision.

 

Let us keep it real, the real racists are those pushing affirmative action in the year 2014 as proven by the civil rights attorney in the video.

Driver has been spinning the bull for so long that she now believes her own propaganda. Jennifer Gratz was not privileged and I am sick of Progressives labeling whites “privileged” in order to rationalize someone else’s shortcomings.

On a personal note.

From one who got her first full-time job as a result of affirmative action decades ago, I assure you that it is not all it is hyped up to be.

Case in point, my first full-time job, at the age of 17 after graduating high school. On day one, my supervisor after welcoming me to the job informed me that I was an affirmative action hire and would have to work harder than other employees did.

Of course, due to my upbringing, it never occurred to me do otherwise but I kept the hurt feelings to myself. One month later, this supervisor informed me that I was doing a great job and then she increased my workload.

I learned a year later that I was earning less ($50.00 a week) than my co-workers, many of whom by had become my underlings.

I started college one year later committing myself to never being an affirmative action hire again. From then on, my qualifications and work ethics were more than enough.

In 5-4 Decision, SCOTUS Strikes Down Aggregate Campaign Finance Limits

campaign donations, McCutcheon v. FEC, Supreme Court Ruling


US Supreme Court

 

Townhall

The Supreme Court today handed down their decision in McCutcheon v. FEC, and the 5-4 decision carried by the Court’s conservative justices has overturned the aggregate limits on campaign contributions to political candidates. Candidate limits will remain intact – so while no individual may give more than $5,200 to a candidate, they are no longer limited in their overall direct contribution limits in each cycle.

As Justice Roberts writes in the majority opinion:

To put it in the simplest terms, the aggregate limits prohibit an individual from fully contributing to the primary and general election campaigns of ten or more candidates, even if all contributions fall within the base limits Congress views as adequate to protect against corruption. The individual may give up to $5,200 each to nine candidates, but the aggregate limits constitute an outright ban on further contributions to any other candidate (beyond the additional $1,800 that may be spent before reaching the $48,600 aggregate limit)…

Harry Reid must be livid.  His fellow Progressives are busing a gut on twitter over this ruling yet not one has uttered a word about the billions of dollars in union payoffs.
