But that won't end it. Once they do get their vetting process in place, the left will sue because the new process is not fair or whatever.

Kennedy is still a topic for gossip. It is traditional for a Justice to hold a reunion of past law clerks every 5 years. Kennedy's next reunion was scheduled for June of 2018, but was moved up a year to this past weekend.

Kennedy, at that reunion, made a number of forward looking comments regarding the next term. He also made a joke about having a HUGE announcement...that the bar would remain open past midnight.

He doesn't look to me like someone considering retirement.

Seems pretty clear that by allowing it to continue, they will not backtrack it later on. The whole issue might be moot by then.

But leave it too CNN, all they were focusing on today was that the court did not address his campaign statements and that would be the key later on.

BS - the court realized nothing but the order matters,and that nothing he said or says has ANY bearing on this at all.

Trump, like Dominos, he delivers.

Oh, btw it is NOT a travel ban.
Stop legitimizing the lying left by calling it that.

I think this Anthony Kennedy to retire story is a ruse. Why, who knows? Kennedy just might like the attention this is getting him and we all know that he does has the biggest and most misguided opinion of oneself in the entire Court -- aside from Elena Kagan, that is.

I do believe that if there's a Justice seriously considering retiring that one just might be the great Clarence Thomas, sad to say. I hope not but he did say early last year he might consider packing it in.

Steny Hoyer, the #2 senile Dem in the House, says that the SCOTUS decision is a big victory for ISIS.

Quote:
“This ban places our country in serious danger and undermines the very foundations of our democracy," Hoyer said in a statement. "It hands a victory to ISIS and other terror groups by providing them with a potent tool for recruitment and radicalization."
Right. This is the final straw that will cause a lot of potential terrorists to put down their copy of the NY Times and pick up an AK-47 and a suicide bomb vest.

Someone should point out to this senile dimwit that appeasement hasn't been working out too swell in Germany, France and England.

If something as minor and temporary as that can radicalize them, then it just proves it is a great idea. Minds as weka as , as weak as democrat minds, need to be thoroughly vetted. Unlike the dems, we can do it to them. We have to live with the dems walking among us.

One last note on Kennedy...he has hired clerks for the forthcoming 2017-18 term. That pretty much nails shut any possibility he'll voluntarily retire before the end of that session.

Of note, he is telling those interviewing for clerk positions in the 2018-19 term that he is considering retirement (I wonder if that is where this rumor got started).

So, not this year but very possibly next year.

No, the rumor started when he moved the occasional get together with former and current clerks up a year. That prompted some of his former clerks to suggest that maybe he wanted to do that prior to retiring.

I would not put it that high.

First SCOTUS allowed the injunction to stand with regards to people with connections to the United States.

And that is the majority of people applying for visas.

The overreach by the 9th circuit was to include all people living in those countries.

If the 9th had only included those with connections with the United States.

The injunction would have been good to go.

The POTUS can exclude people with no connections to the United States from traveling to the United States. SCOTUS made that perfectly clear.

Was not 9-0. It was 6-3. With 3 dissents (gorsuch, Thomas and Alioto) who wanted the entire injunction overturned.

People from those 6 countries who have no connections to the United States are banned from traveling here.

What would you call it instead?

It is indeed a travel ban from those 6 counties the POTUS has designated.

Since you're being extra picky, I believe Obama designated those six countries as needing more vetting. Trump just acted on the list Obama formulated. You can massage the Scotus decision all you'd like, the fact remains that Trump is largely free to define the gray area of what a "connection" is, and can institute extreme vetting procedures for at least six months before the SCOTUS gets around to deciding again. That sure sounds like a win to me.

Sorry if a person who has connections to the united states (a student who is attending a college here) is denied entry. Thats a lawsuit waiting to happen.

If a person owning a business here in the US is denied entry, thats certainly a lawsuit.

If a person has family who are citizens here and denied entry, thats a lawsuit.

I dont think the POTUS would be well served by denying everyone who lives in those 6 countries a visa.

if there is a legit reason to travel here from the those 6 countries they should be allowed to travel to the US.

will be interesting to see how many lawsuits are filed by people who are denied entry.
