Justices allow strict enforcement of Trump refugee ban
2017-07-19
Judge Derrick Watson and Dems hardest hit butthurt. I think it also tips where they'll rule when it finally comes before SCOTUS
[ABC10news] The Supreme Court is granting the Trump administration's request to more strictly enforce its ban on refugees, at least until a federal appeals court weighs in.

But the justices are leaving in place a lower court order that makes it easier for travelers from six mostly Muslim countries to enter the United States.

The high court acted Wednesday on the administration's appeal of last week's ruling by U.S. District Judge Derrick Watson that required the government to allow in refugees formally working with a resettlement agency in the United States. Watson also vastly expanded the family relations that refugees and visitors can use to get into the country.

The justices said the federal appeals court in San Francisco should now consider the appeal.

#4  Let them enforce it. If they aren't allowed in, what will the robed resistance do?

#3  While the appeals court justices are working up their next ruling in a way that will finally persuade the Supreme Court to accept their argument, all involved will have to put other efforts on the back burner, reducing the amount of mischief they can get up to. This is a good thing, I think.

#2  It's mighty white of them to 'allow' the president to do something explicitly delegated to his purview, isn't it?

#1  I don't hold much hope the SanFran wackos will keep to the law. They'll go and allow the stupid Hawaii ruling and ignore the Supreme Court.

Hell, at this stage I wouldn't be surprised if they declared the SC decision unconstitutional.
