Supreme Court upholds Trump's 'extreme vetting' travel ban
The Daily Signal
“By a 7-2 vote, the Supreme Court has decided—at least temporarily, pending a final determination of the merits—that decisions affecting our national security should be made by Congress and the president, not by a single federal judge sitting in a courthouse in Hawaii,” said John Malcolm, head of the Institute for Constitutional Government at The Heritage Foundation. “Presidents are given primary responsibility for protecting our homeland. Federal judges are not.”
“Moreover, the president receives daily classified intelligence briefings about the many threats we face, and congressional leaders also receive such briefings regularly,” Malcolm continued in a public statement. “Federal judges do not. By entering its order, the Supreme Court has sent a message that the important constitutional issues involved in this case will be resolved in an orderly fashion and in due course, and that our nation’s security will not be needlessly imperiled by one overreaching lower federal court judge.

That errant judge is awfully young to bear such career-ending news. He's young enough to return to private practice, representing every Asian malcontent bent on taking down the US.
Astounding the change Neil Gorsuch has wrought.
I knew for certain Ginsburg would dissent. Wasn't sure about who the second vote would be. Sotomayor. I'm equally certain they both know that a borderless country is no country at all. Which is what they want.
