Supreme Court Upholds Trump’s Travel Ban

RUSH: The Supreme Court, ladies and gentlemen, has upheld Trump’s travel ban and has reinstated it. To me, this is an example of how silly and stupid we have been since Trump was — not us. There has been no question that Trump was totally constitutionally within his rights to issue this travel ban.

An act of Congress that we read to you many times explicitly granted to Trump the official constitutional powers to do exactly what he did and more if he wanted to in his travel ban. It was stayed by all these lower courts and then upheld by the U.S. Ninth Circuit. And it was only a matter of time before it got to the Supreme Court, and the Supreme Court reinstated it and said they’re gonna hear arguments in October.

What this means: Trump was right, Trump had full authority to do what he did. The media experts were wrong, all of this in-depth analysis, all the panel discussions, all the people supporting these judges who said that they were going to stay the travel ban because of what Trump had said during the campaign trail, and all of this enlightened intellectual hemming and hawing back and forth on cable TV, which was an embarrassing joke to anybody who knows the Constitution and the law has just been blown to smithereens.

Now, the Supreme Court, given that courts, including the Supreme Court, allow or deny stays based upon the likelihood that the issue in question will be found to be constitutional or not, this unanimous decision to allow the Trump travel ban to be implemented shows that the court thinks it’s highly likely that Trump will eventually prevail during oral arguments and the formal presentation of the case when the court hears it in October.

The only exception here that the court carved out is that immigrants and refugees and others entering the country cannot be kept out if they can show a definite link, familial or some other type of relation, to somebody who is a citizen living in America.

Now, what’s gonna happen here, remember, now, the left never just says, “Oh, we lost? Oh, okay.” That’s not how they do it. So what’s gonna happen here, the left is gonna go out and find a bunch of people who may or may not have friends or family living in America who are citizens. They’re gonna try to get in, they’re gonna be denied by the ban and then they’re gonna file lawsuits.

There was never any doubt that this travel ban was constitutional. The very federal statute that exists, we read it to you I don’t know how many times, Trump totally satisfied it with this travel ban. The only reason to stop this was political hacks that have been appointed to the judiciary by Obama and other Democrat presidents. And they were simply implementing personal political policy preferences to stop the travel ban rather than looking at is as a matter of law.

Now, the Supreme Court, the decision today on the travel ban actually warns nonprofits about setting up phony relationships in order to secure entry by foreigners banned by the travel ban. This is anybody who can claim a legitimate relationship with somebody living in the country now can be exempted from the ban. And I saw some eager beaver leftist on CNN earlier today talking about all the lawsuits that are waiting to happen, which told me they’re already lining them up.

And so the judiciary has been warned for this, and the court, Supreme Court has even warned nonprofits against trying to do this, ’cause it’s the one opening that has been left for people to get in. You mark my words. And the mainstream media anger over this… There’s more outrage from the Drive-Bys over the travel ban than we saw from them after any recent terror attack. They’re livid here. They thought they had Trump boxed in. And Trump just keeps prevailing. It’s one of the reasons I think the worm’s turning.

Look at what this country has been put through. Look at what the people of this country have been put through by decidedly extra-constitutional acts by hack judges in Seattle and in Hawaii

everything they did was bogus. Everything they wrote was bogus. Everything they wrote stood the law on its head upside down. When it got to the Supreme Court — and it’s unanimous. You don’t even have the four libs trying to bail these judges out, it’s unanimous. The Trump travel ban is a thousand percent constitutional with the one exception, and that is foreigners with a credible claim of a bona fide relationship with a person or entity in the United States can be permitted entry, which is gonna open lawsuits.

They punted this until October.

But in truth they’re probably never gonna hear the case.

The terms of the Trump travel ban limit its application to 90 days or four times, 90 or 120 days.

And Trump said he’s gonna implement the thing in a couple of days after any court rules that it’s constitutional, so that should happen this week. And the travel ban itself is 90 days, 120 days, not sure which. And the reason for that, this is in part of the Trump ban, was during the period of the ban the administration is going to develop new vetting procedures. It’s not a permanent ban. It’s not a policy statement or position. It provides a period of time for the administration to change, ramp up, or vet new vetting procedures. And then after those have been developed the ban’s lifted and a new policy gets put into place.

The Supreme Court may be figuring that by the time they get back after their summer recess, which will be October, that the travel ban order will have lapsed, 90 days, 120 days. By the time they get back, it’s over.
