WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday formally dropped plans to hear the last remaining challenge to an earlier version of President Donald Trump's travel ban targeting several Muslim-majority countries and a ban on refugees, but a fight over the legality of his latest restrictions still could reach the nine justices.

 

The high court said it will not hear the case brought by Hawaii over the bans, which have expired and been replaced with revised policies. Trump's 120-day ban on refugees ended on Tuesday and is set to be replaced by a new set of restrictions.

 

Two lower courts have blocked Trump's new ban targeting people from eight countries, Trump's third set of travel restrictions, and the issue could find its way back to the Supreme Court on appeal.

 

The court on Oct. 10 disposed of the first of two travel ban cases -- brought by the American Civil Liberties Union and others in Maryland -- after Trump's earlier 90-day ban on people entering the U.S. from six predominantly Muslim countries expired on Sept. 24. It was a replaced with a modified, open-ended ban involving eight countries.

 

The justices had been scheduled to hear arguments in the two consolidated on Oct. 10.

 

Among the issues raised by challengers was whether the travel ban discriminated against Muslims in violation of the U.S. Constitution's prohibition on the government favouring or disfavouring a particular religion. The same arguments are being used against the new ban.

 

Trump has said the restrictions were needed to prevent terrorism in the United States.

 

The expired ban had targeted people from Iran, Libya, Syria, Yemen, Somalia and Sudan. The new ban removed Sudan from the list and blocked people from Chad and North Korea and certain government officials from Venezuela from entering the United States.

 

If the new restrictions go into effect, they could block tens of thousands of potential immigrants and visitors to the United States. Trump had promised as a candidate "a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States."

Excellent news! Trump is on it!

[boomerangutang]

Dangerous dufus Trump is not only planning to lean the Supreme Court toward brain-dead callous decisions for decades to come (Note: Thomas has only spoken once, a few words, in all the years he's been on the court).

 

Perhaps just as dangerous:   Trump is personally vetting lower-down federal judges - something that no other prez has done.  He's micro-managing only for those circuit court judges who may stand to rule on his personal law-breaking in NYC and Wash DC - those are the only two regions, out of hundreds, where Trump is interfering.  In sum: Trump is vetting judges who will rule on Trump legal issues.

 

Of all the illegal things Trump is doing, that's got to be up there in the top 5.

JUST as I predicted!!   (I believe my exact language was that SCOTUS would once again have to take an Obama appointee to the woodshed...)

As for the "dangerous dufus" rubbish, that actually applies to Clinton & Obama and their assault on the Constitution.  Trump is restoring constitutional sanity to the Supreme Court as well as the lower federal courts and is exercising exactly the kind of due diligence with those appointments that Clinton's and Obama's abuses now demand.

 

Clue to the uninformed:  these ARE in fact presidential appointments!!   What you refer to as "interference" is precisely what the Constitution REQUIRES of him.  Get a grip.   Of all the most sensible and longest overdue things Trump is doing, this has got be up there in the top 5.

The USSC didn't agree or disagree with the ban.

The ban expired!!

The court can't rule on something that doesn't exist.

The new ban is being challenged in circuit court as being discriminatory by nationality - violation of another tenant of the US Constitutional Rights.

Very unfortunate for you that your prediction was incorrect.

 

The court did not 'take an Obama appointee to the woodshed...', but decided there is no point in judging something that has expired already. His latest ban may reach the SC though.

I've been saying for months that President Trump needs to remove all those worthless, democratic, politically motivated judges left over from C and O and start replacing them with his own picks (as is his right by law).

Next thing that needs to be done is finally breaking up the 9th and push CA., OR., WA. and HI. out of self-implemented power.

They need to learn that they are NOT in charge of the country and hopefully soon the SC will tell them so once and for all.

Trump doesn't have the power to do so.

Judges cannot be removed from office except by impeachment by the House of Representatives followed by conviction by the Senate. But thus far, King Trump doesn't seem to have a problem committing potential unconstitutional acts even though he pledged to defend the constitution.
