A divided U.S. Supreme Court let President Donald Trumps travel ban take full effect while legal challenges go forward, handing him a major victory and suggesting the court ultimately will uphold the restrictions, Bloomberg News reports.
Trump will now be able to bar or restrict entry by people from six mostly Muslim countries, even if they have a relationship with a U.S.-based person or institution. The order effectively supersedes a compromise the justices reached in June, when they let an earlier version of the ban take partial effect but exempted people with a "bona fide" U.S. connection.

UPDATE:
Supreme Court allows full enforcement of Trump travel ban while legal challenges continue
By Robert Barnes December 4 at 4:26 PM
The Supreme Court on Monday granted President Trumps request that his revised travel ban be enforced fully while legal challenges to it proceed in lower courts.
The justices approved a request from the presidents lawyers to lift restrictions on the order which bans most travelers from eight nations, most with Muslim majorities that had been imposed by lower courts.
The court gave no reason for its decision, but said it expected lower court review of the executive orders to proceed quickly. Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Sonia Sotomayor would have kept in place partial stays on the order.
Judges in two judicial circuits the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit in Richmond and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit in San Francisco had cast doubt on Trumps third executive order banning almost all travel from certain countries.
Oral arguments are scheduled for soon in both federal appeals court cases on whether the ban exceeds the presidents broad powers on immigration.

(9,756 posts)The responder was too polite to let the original poster know that "the president" is not usually the way we refer to the tRump* monster in these parts. When he or she has been on DU a bit longer, the proper forms of address will become second nature.

(972 posts)That is a pretty strong indicator of how the court will come down on this one. I hope I'm wrong though.
I didn't think the more sane members would uphold it.
Geez!

(26,823 posts)I'm pretty sure these appeals relate to the replacement plan
But in getting the blanket injunction against implementation of the order, that also constituted an injunction against studying the vetting procedures.
Still, the injunction was lifted (partially, at least) long enough ago that the requested time for studying and proposing changes was up, IIRC, in Oct.

In the long run, the political tide will turn because we're going to turn it!
All of our "used to be true allies" will be banned. THEN, unless you can prove you have a shit load of money WE will start not being allowed to leave our country ( for any reason. ) The moment that fucking tax plan passed we became fucked over BIG time. It is a good thing Obama is not the one who said murder is illegal because trump would make sure it became legal. I myself have been given another reason to hate this country. No, I am not saying the people particularly all of you and like minded people but what this country itself is becoming and starting to represent. I am just prepared for death and enslavement.

(26,823 posts)The issue in this case is that Trump is using the power of the presidency poorly (that is... making the wrong decisions). It isn't (In this case) that the presidency doesn't have that particular power.
