WASHINGTON -- The Supreme Court is allowing the Trump administration to fully enforce a ban on travel to the United States by residents of six mostly Muslim countries. 

The justices say in an order Monday that the policy can take full effect even as legal challenges against it make their way through the courts.

The ban applies to travelers from Chad, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Syria and Yemen. Lower courts had said people from those nations with a claim of a "bona fide" relationship with someone in the United States could not be kept out of the country. Grandparents, cousins and other relatives were among those courts said could not be excluded.

Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Sonia Sotomayor would have left the lower court orders in place.


It's almost like the President of the United States is well within his rights.

That's more of an issue with CBS, ABC, etc. than with TC, since it's just copy and pasting.

I mean, unless you're going to contact those news orgs. that put it out like that, it seems moot to blame TC.

Because they have no functional central government with which the US can verify and vet potential refugees. Those countries are such pits of lawlessness that it's effectively impossible to prove that someone claiming to be from there is, in fact, from there.

EDIT: That is why the Obama administration selected those 6 countries originally.

I quoted the entirety of what was in the breaking article when I accessed it. It's not my fault you read the challenges from the lower courts after being told that the challenges will not apply and fail to square that away in your head.

Maybe some critical thinking?

I'll take this ban seriously as soon as Saudi Arabia becomes a part of it. I guess Syria and Chad just need to become valuable to us and they'll find their way off the list. This is just half-assed virtue signaling trying to score brownie points with some of our worst and dullest.

I saw on Reddit that this isn't the actual SCOTUS ruling, but a temporary "okay" while the travel ban is in litigation (or is it junction?).

You are correct. The Supreme Court lifted an injunction, it didn't rule on the constitutionality of the case per se. Injunctions have an extremely high burden of proof (with the notion that irreparable damage will be done if the law isn't stopped prematurely). Honestly, the fact that the original travel ban was struck down this way is a testament to how shitty it was. Most requests for injunctions don't succeed. 

So, the travel ban isn't out of the woods yet. The legal challenges will make their way through the proper channels and the constitutionality of the travel ban will be litigated in full.

He didn't leave them out. The countries on the ban were all listed by the Obama administration as being especially prone to produce terrorists.

    The simple fact of the matter is that people only oppose this because it's Trump doing it. When Obama had a travel ban on African countries to protect from Ebola, did you hear everyone screaming that it was racist?

    Keeping dangerous people out of the country is kind of the government's job.

    It's like I said before. People only oppose it because it's Trump who did it. If Obama did this, he would be held up as a champion of national security. Trump wants to keep terrorism out of the United States, oh he's an idiot. He's a racist, bigoted Islamophobic dolt.

    How many mass shootings have happened in America in just this year?

    Yes, we already have some violence, so we should actively import more. That makes PERFECT sense.

    Maybe next time he can ban travel from countries terrorists actually came from. None of the terrorist attacks in America were done by people from any of those countries.


    What, so we should let people from places like Somalia pour into the US until things like this start happening here?? That's some remarkably bizarre logic.

    It's too bad that Trump originally called for a complete shutdown of Muslim immigration after San Bernardino. It's also too bad that Trump once tweeted, "London has a Muslim problem" and recently retweeted three anti-Muslim videos. Trump clearly has an issue with Muslims in general. Any "travel ban" is tainted by Trump's bigotry. Same with the border wall (which unlike the travel ban, we do need).

    Because it is used to imply that things like Vegas or San Antonio are rampant and happening daily when in actuality a huge portion of the number is gang violence. It is an inflated number used to fear longer for gun control, which wouldn't do much to stop gang violence anyway. 

    Obviously 1 situation like Vegas is too many. But there is a more honest way to argue than lumping in Chicago's weekend totals

    They should be differentiated for the sake of honest argument. Don't act like the inflated mass shooting number is used as a condemnation of white men's propensity to perpetrate mass shootings, when in reality that number is largely minorities. 

    And Islam as a religion is shown daily, worldwide to be extremely violent and incompatible with western nations. Obviously there are peaceful Muslims. But vetting should be done of them trying to enter the country. If a travel ban is necessary in order to install more thorough processes and let countries on the list revise their systems of accounting for their citizens, then so be it. 

    If we have a violence issue here, why invite more Violence by not having standards in place?

    Additionally, the guy who gave that inflated stat did so to argue in favor of a gun ban, which would have no effect at all on gang violence moreso than it would law abiding citizens. 

    You can't use a big scary number to argue for a gun ban while ignoring that the majority of that number is made of populations that the gun ban wouldn't affect.

    Yeah, he called for that 2 years ago. You can call those types of remarks islamophobic, sure. As for the three videos he re-tweeted, only one of those was fake. The other two were authentic video evidence of crimes. I fail to see why those should be censored or forbidden from the public to view. I mean, video evidence is used for convictions... it's not anti-anything. If those videos were ant-Muslim then you're well on the path to saying "well you can't use these videos to prove your case because it's islamophobic". That's where that type of logic leads.

    That's insane. And hardly any different than saying you can't have a travel ban because it's islamophobic.

    None of this makes the travel ban itself islamophobic or xenophobic or whatever. You say it's "tainted" well what does that mean? In what tangible way? Does the travel ban only target Muslims? No. It's defined by the nations on the list. Case closed.

    Because you're assuming someone is going to be violent just because they are Muslim.

    Because it is a notion that no one is suggesting. The only reason you have an issue with vetting people coming into the country is because Trump is the one doing it and you're a liberal sheep ready to swallow whatever the media gives to you. 

    You not wanting people prior to shovel garbage through your front door doesn't mean you have a perfectly clean house. It means you don't want to add to the existing issues if it can be prevented. 

    There is nothing wrong with revamping standards for entry from countries that have no meaningful way to vet their citizens, especially when they are countries where the majority religion is responsible for most of the violence on that side of the world. 

    Again, unless you just keep your front door open and don't care who walks into your house, it's best if you shut the fuck up

      Nope. I'm against it because it's wrong. Strawman harder.

      You not wanting people prior to shovel garbage through your front door doesn't mean you have a perfectly clean house. It means you don't want to add to the existing issues if it can be prevented.

      So you're outright admitting you believe Muslims are garbage. And you're wondering why I called you a racist.

      There is nothing wrong with revamping standards for entry from countries that have no meaningful way to vet their citizens, especially when they are countries where the majority religion is responsible for most of the violence on that side of the world.

      You still haven't defined how you propose this should be done.

      Again, unless you just keep your front door open and don't care who walks into your house, it's best if you shut the f*** up

      National borders are a bit different from individual persons' front doors. You tried. See me after class.


      I was equating violence and garbage, not Muslims and garbage. I would support a travel ban on any country that is a violent shit hole until we can figure out how to best vet their citizens, white brown or otherwise. 

      It is not my job to propose how vetting should be done. There are people more equipped to do that, which is why the ban is being upheld. 

      And whether it's your front door or the country, knowing who is coming in and what their intentions are is a reasonable expectation.

      Of course. But banning someone solely on the basis of their religion is discriminatory and unconstitutional.

      I could ask why you keep assuming I'm a liberal, but then again I could let you just keep going and making yourself look biased and silly.

      Great news.

      The funny thing is that this was going to happen from the start. Trump and his administration knew this, as well as the people who fought it, but the treasonous judges appointed for life by obama knew that their only role was for the liberal-monopolized media to try and spin things to make it look like the government could just smack Trump's hand and tell him how it's gonna be. 

      NOPE! We win!

      Obama ran amok in office for eight years while his "opponents" let him do anything and everything he wanted.

      They are not banned on the basis of their religion. The are temporarily banned from certain countries. How about all the other Muslim countries? 

      I'm not equating Muslims with violence, but vetting distinguishes the violent from the peaceful. This isnt hard to understand. Or would you like to be dishonest more and suggest the middle East isn't exceptionally violent?

      I can tell you're a liberal from the incessant virtue signalling.

      If their country does not have a solid means of monitoring citizens and vetting them via background checks, records, affiliations , etc then it is perfectly reasonable to ban travel from that country until proper systems are in place.

      the travel ban is probably for the best all things considered. :v it just peeves me that Trump intentionally left his business partner's countries off the list despite them being just as risky.

      He didn't leave them out. The countries on the ban were all listed by the Obama administration as being especially prone to produce terrorists.

      Ain't Trump's fault the countries with his property weren't included in Obama's list


      why didn't he revise the list instead of just copying Obama's homework?

      Because now shitposters like you can't criticize his choice of where to ban travel :u

      Yes, the majority race commits the most of a lot of things in terms of raw numbers. But as a percentage of the population, white males would be under-represented. 

      So Again, the stats are not as in your favor as you think they are. 

      Factor in the gang violence that the left loves to include without mentioning what it is, and there is an even greater disparity.

      Give it up. The facts are against you. This is just sad. You're desperately trying to throw in irrelevant gang violence because the subject of white male-committed violence makes you uncomfortable. And if you're that stuck on percentages, you lose again in that department.

      https://www.metro.us/news/majority-mass-shootings-committed-white-men

      Since 1982, 54 percent of mass shootings (in which three or more fatalities were reported) were committed by white men, according to data from Mother Jones.

      How are you not understanding? First of all, black men are way likelier to commit violence against other races and their own race. 

      Second, 54% of mass shootings are committed by the racial MAJORITY, which is far more than 54% of the population. So like I said, per the population, white men would actually be underrepresented in mass shootings. This really isn't that hard. 

      The majority of mass shootings are committed by the majority number because there are simply more of them. If blacks or hispanics or asians were the majority, they would commit the majority of mass shootings. 

      However, per the population, again, whites would be underrepresented. Even without factoring in gang violence. 

      You simply don't have a valid point and aren't smart enough to realize that.

      You whine about white violence. Your own numbers show you proof that per population there is significant underrepresentation. I used YOUR numbers to show that but you simply aren't intellectually honest enough to do anything but whine about shit you dont have the ability to understand.

      Straw man. 

      Literally no one has suggested America is a peaceful paradise. No one is suggesting every immigrant will bring violence. People are suggesting that procedures for vetting need to be reviewed and implemented to determine who may be a threat and who isnt. There is literally nothing wrong with that. Every civilized country monitors immigration. 

      And if you think it is so violent, why would you not want processes to prevent more Violence from coming in? 

      Your argument makes no sense and you have been wrong with literally every point you have tried to argue. You simply don't have the mental capacity to engage in any meaningful discussion on the topic, so you should probably shut the fuck up before you make a bigger fool of yourself.

      Also, you should at least be consistent. If you want to use homeland violence as a reason, why not use black violence, which is statistically overrepresented and likelier to happen? Why use white, which is underrepresented? 

      Is it because you are a virtue signalling hack and can't think for yourself? I think so.

      No one is suggesting all Muslims are violent, but you are fooling yourself to suggest that many ME countries are violent and uncivilized. To suggest otherwise is willful ignorance. And again, it is not my job to determine the processes by which immigrants are vetted, but there has to be something to separate nonviolent Muslims from violent ones similar how there are processes to separate violent gun-seekers from nonviolent ones. Background checks, means of keeping track of citizens' actions and crimes, etc (you know, like every civilized country has when it comes to monitoring immigrants.) 

      Your original intention of asking about mass shootings was to use a form of violence you thought you could characterize as white violence in order to compare that to muslim violence. If you didn't care about race and only the level of violence, you would have used gang violence, which is far more prevalent and claims far more lives. But you wouldn't dare to do that because you can't paint it as a white issue and you are dishonest and unintelligent. Not only are mass shootings NOT representative of white violence (because again, based on YOUR numbers, whites would be underrepresented) but you ignore the source of far, far more violence because it hurts your narrative. 

      I have nothing against Muslims. I want more peaceful people of any race, sex, creed, religion, etc in the country and more violent people not in the country or at least not free to roam in public. It is by no means unreasonable to want well-functioning systems in place to distinguish between the two.

      And other than you being glaringly wrong, why would anything you're saying make me uncomfortable. Everything you've said proves my point, not yours, but you don't have the mental horsepower to understand that.

        So there should be no gun control measures until there is mind reading right? 

        And I dont care if Muslims or anyone else comes to the country legally as long as they are peaceful. Couldn't have been any clearer. 

        And if you need it reiterated, it is not a ban based on religion. Because the countries on the list are a fraction of majority Muslim countries. It is a ban of countries that have been determined (by a previous administration, mind you) to be likelier to produce terrorism due to unchecked citizens. 

        I am not uncomfortable about white violence. You are using it as a means of comparison, when if level of violence was your argument, you would use an example that reflects a disproportionately high level of violence. But that would be about minorities and your too scared to be honest in that regard.

        Yes, the majority are peaceful. Measures should be in place to identify and bar the violent minority. This isn't difficult to understand but you are really struggling for some reason. 

        If you want Saudi Arabia on the list (a country who has measures for accounting for their citizens) ask why Obama didn't include them on his list. 

        And again, you brought up mass shootings to compare violence. But you chose a relatively low-frequency form of violence to make the comparison in an effort to show how violent America is. You did this because you THOUGHT it could easily be painted as white violence (which it cant), whereas if you really wanted to illustrate high rates of violence in the USA you would have used gang violence. But you didn't because then you wouldn't be able to virtue signal about racism.

        There are measures in place in regards to cooperative countries that have means of monitoring their citizens.... how else would the USA know? We don't monitor the world, it is the responsibility of the home country to account for their citizens so that information for the purposes of vetting can be shared. These countries lack that.

        They were identified as "countries of concern", not "countries to ban from travel to the US". Trump is the one pushing the country of concern list through as an actual travel ban list. He has had all the time, power, and authority to add Saudi Arabia to the list, and yet he's giving them a pass. I can only assume that he doesn't want to piss off his oil buddies.

        Was Obama also not wanting to piss off oil buddies when he didn't add them to the list? Or are you just a partisan hack? 

        And the reason those particular countries are on the list is specifically because the rampant lawlessness and lack of accountability.

They must have a visa to enter the United States; they can’t use what is known as the Visa Waiver Program, which allows 90-day U.S. visits to other foreign visitors.

        The law was soon expanded by Obama’s Department of Homeland Security to cover Libya, Somalia, and Yemen. They were identified in the agency’s announcement as "countries of concern," a phrase used in the law."

        Was Obama also not wanting to piss off oil buddies when he didn't add them to the list? Or are you just a partisan hack?

        "but obawwwwma"

        And the reason those particular countries are on the list is specifically because the rampant lawlessness and lack of accountability.

        So if these places are so awful, why should we not allow people to flee them?

        You can keep arguing, but you embarrass yourself more every time you post.

        Is that your conscience speaking? It's so loud I can hear it from here.

        It called for restricted travel. The current ban is temporary in order review processes of countries identified (and selected for restricted travel) by the previous administration. Temporary. Temporary. Want me to repeat it again? 

        People should be allowed to flee them, ONCE PROCESSES ARE IN PLACE TO DETERMINE WHO SHOULD BE ABLE TO COME IN AND WHO SHOULDN'T.

        No, it's a knee-jerk reaction to appease Trump's xenophobic fear-mongering voter base. All of the terrorist attacks we have suffered since 9/11 have been committed by American-born citizens. And just because it's temporary doesn't make it any more justified. We already have laws in place to prevent violent criminals from entering our country.

        Yes, WE have laws to prevent it, but they don't do anything if other countries don't have enough information to share. This also shouldn't be very hard for you to understand, yet it is.

        It is also very interesting that you choose to start your tally on September 12, 2001. But again, if we already have our own issues, why would we not want to exhaust measures to ensure we are not actively importing more issues? If only we could work with other countries to establish ways to make sure good people are coming in and bad people are not....

        Here's a hint.... universal enforcement of policies increases their efficacy. Everything we do doesn't matter if other countries are not also actively participating in monitoring citizens. 

        Read that line a million times and try to separate yourself from your partisan hackery. You will come out of that process a little more honest and have at least a semblance of intelligence.

        Tell me how we decide whether or not someone's a terrorist. Do we ask them? Because they're just going to lie about that. Do we go "well they came from this country/are of this religion which has terrorists so that means this person is probably a terrorist"? Because that's discrimination and is unconstitutional.

        Here's a hint.... universal enforcement of policies increases their efficacy. Everything we do doesn't matter if other countries are not also actively participating in monitoring citizens.

        Well obviously. We are already doing our job by having our laws in place to prevent criminals from entering our country. That is the most we can possibly do without infringing on human rights laws or breaking our own constitution.

        Literally no one reading this would interpret our interactions any other way than you getting completely dismantled every time you post, by myself and anyone else who has responded to you. 

        A temporary travel ban helps because it allows time (during which no one, good or BAD is permitted to enter) to review other countries means of cooperating with us to ensure safety of our citizens, safety of their citizens, and insurance against violence being transferred from one country to another. 

        And President's reserve the right to restrict travel from places. Not everyone in those countries is Muslim and not every Muslim country is on the list. So there is nothing unconstitutional about it. 

        And for the 4th time, you determine someone's likelihood of committing violence by background checks, reviews of affiliations, etc. Things that the countries on the list DO NOT DO in any meaningful way, so until they can it is prudent to restrict travel.

        Keep deluding yourself. It's the only way you can survive.

        A temporary travel ban helps because it allows time (during which no one, good or BAD is permitted to enter) to review other countries means of cooperating with us to ensure safety of our citizens, safety of their citizens, and insurance against violence being transferred from one country to another.

        We have not suffered any major terror attacks from foreign perpetrators in nearly the last two decades. That is also plenty of time to work with other countries in getting them to cooperate with us. This travel ban accomplishes nothing and is just Trump throwing a bone to his worshipers.

        And President's reserve the right to restrict travel from places. Not everyone in those countries is Muslim and not every Muslim country is on the list. So there is nothing unconstitutional about it.

        There must be a rational basis for imposing a ban, usually a country from which there is a clear and imminent threat. None of these countries have made imminent threats towards us. 

        And for the 4th time, you determine someone's likelihood of committing violence by background checks, reviews of affiliations, etc. Things that the countries on the list DO NOT DO in any meaningful way, so until they can it is prudent to restrict travel.

        Seems like they actually do get background checks: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/01/29/us/refugee-vetting-process.html

        I'd say the current process is working pretty well, since again, you know, we haven't suffered any major foreign-perpretrated terrorist attacks in nearly 20 years.

        But you would know that if you took the 2 seconds it takes to Google this stuff.

        How old are you? If you are at least in your 20s you are far too old to be so god damn dumb.

        Old enough to have more class than to resort to childish insults like you have been this whole time you've been losing this argument.

        I'll use whatever word I want and won't be policed by a virtue signaling SJW projecting their own racist inference onto an innocuous word usage.

        And I wasn't referring to importing people, I was referring to importing issues (specifically violence) which is more abstract and not synonymous with importing refugees, which you I suppose unwittingly equated with violence.

        I have not once equated Muslims with violence. I said there needs to be processes of distinction between Muslims (or anyone else) with ill-will and those without. I agreed the majority are peaceful and the minority is the issue (and the reason for the necessity of review) and said twice that I would prefer peaceful people come and violent people not.

        I said there needs to be processes of distinction between Muslims (or anyone else) with ill-will and those without. I agreed the majority are peaceful and the minority is the issue (and the reason for the necessity of review) and said twice that I would prefer peaceful people come and violent people not.

        We have not suffered a major terrorist...actually forget it.

        But you've got Don Lemon's nut sack covering your eyes apparently and missed all that.

        He's literally defeating himself with his own statistics.

        All of that is inference on your part. My belief lies with the facts. Fact, blacks are likelier to perpetrate violent crime. Fact, whites are actually underrepresented in mass shootings (per your own stats), with or without gang violence factored in. So WHY would you use mass shootings to make your point of high levels of violence? You did it to bitch about white males. 

        And saying the ME is full of shit hole countries is not dog whistling anything. It is a fact. There is more violence in that region than anywhere in the world and there is no excuse for it. Or are you denying the extremely common occurrence of attacks that claim hundreds of lives? 

        Again though, your own words defeat your point. If you want to start your tally on September 12, 2001 (which you do in order to stay consistent with your dishonesty), then we have not had any major terrorist attacks from immigrants, which is great. So WHY THE FUCK would we want to increase our chances of that number going from negligible to significant by bringing in people unchecked from countries considered high risk that have no meaningful method of ensuring that won't happen? 

        What you are wanting increases the likelihood of a foreign attack on our soil. So what is the solution? Making sure those who come in are not likely to perpetrate that. How is that accomplished? Through cooperation with countries that can monitor and account for their citizens. 

        See? Wasn't that easy? My girlfriend works with special needs kids, so I changed up my approach and went step by step like she does so maybe you can start to understand.

        Nope. We've been over this numerous times. Wipe the sleepies from your eyes, dig those racist beliefs out of your brain, and go back and read the conversation again.

        Then define the term "shithole country" and outline the criteria one needs to meet in order to receive the definition.

        Again though, your own words defeat your point. If you want to start your tally on September 12, 2001 (which you do in order to stay consistent with your dishonesty)

        ok

So WHY THE f*** would we want to increase our chances of that number going from negligible to significant by bringing in people unchecked from countries considered high risk that have no meaningful method of ensuring that won't happen?

        So why hasn't that number increased now? Or 5 years ago? Or any time during the last few decades? Could it be....that our current processes are doing the job just fine?

        What you are wanting increases the likelihood of a foreign attack on our soil. So what is the solution? Making sure those who come in are not likely to perpetrate that. How is that accomplished? Through cooperation with countries that can monitor and account for their citizens.

        Which..is...what...we are already doing. And have been doing without a pointless travel ban, which would hurt more innocent people than it would help.

        See? Wasn't that easy? My girlfriend works with special needs kids, so I changed up my approach and went step by step like she does so maybe you can start to understand.

        Yes, you seem to be quite familiar with this approach. Your girlfriend mentors you very well.

        Please, explain where there is racism. Please. Is it racist of me to give you facts? Is anything you don't like or that doesn't fit your narrative racist?

        I would say a third world country where gays are regularly executed, women have no rights, rape victims are executed for being rape victims, no one has any meaningful quality of life, and people regularly get blown up by the hundreds qualifies as a shit hole. If you disagree, then I expect a picture of your boarding pass for your flight to any of the countries on the list. 

        To your "point" of why the number hasn't increased, you may walk across the street 10 times without looking and not get hit by a car, that doesn't mean you shouldn't review your approach. The current process may very well be working "fine" but if steps can be taken to optimize it they should be.

        Then link me to the peer-reviewed study that proves black people are more predisposed to commit crime.

        And you're perfectly fine with forcing people to stay in those terrible countries because..why, again?

        I don't know how much more optimized you can get than "zero terrorist attacks".
