Supreme Court rules that Trump's travel ban is constitutional



The ruling concerned the third version of President Trump's travel restriction, which was challenged on the grounds that it amounted to a "Muslim ban."
In the 5-4 opinion written by Chief Justice John Roberts, the court finds that Trump's travel restriction fell "squarely" within the president's authority.
"The [order] is expressly premised on legitimate purposes: preventing entry of nationals who cannot be adequately vetted and inducing other nations to improve their practices," Roberts says. "The text says nothing about religion."

Justice Sonia Sotomayor Unleashes 20 Minute Furious Rant Over SCOTUS Decision to Uphold Trump Travel Ban (https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2018/06/justice-sonia-sotomayor-unleashes-20-minute-furious-rant-over-scotus-decision-to-uphold-trump-travel-ban/)




More from The Hill (http://thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/394200-sotomayor-issues-scathing-dissent-in-trump-travel-ban-case):

In a scathing dissent on Tuesday, Sotomayor said the court’s majority, led by Chief Justice John Roberts, blindly accepted the government’s misguided invitation to set aside problematic comments Trump made before and after taking office.

“Ultimately, what began as a policy explicitly ‘calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States’ has since morphed into a ‘Proclamation’ putatively based on national-security concerns,” she said. “But this new window dressing cannot conceal an unassailable fact: the words of the President and his advisers create the strong perception that the Proclamation is contaminated by impermissible discriminatory animus against Islam and its followers.”

Sotomayor described in detail how Trump pledged on the campaign trail to ban Muslims from entering the U.S. and then criticized the Department of Justice for submitting a “watered down, politically correct version” after the president’s first order was struck down by the courts after he took office.
“Instead, he has continued to make remarks that a reasonable observer would view as an unrelenting attack on the Muslim religion and its followers,” she said. “Given President Trump’s failure to correct the reasonable perception of his apparent hostility toward the Islamic faith, it is unsurprising that the President’s lawyers have, at every step in the lower courts, failed in their attempts to launder the Proclamation of its discriminatory taint.”

How does the freedom to practice religion have anything to do with the freedom of people to come here? If they're in, they can practice their religion, but we can choose not to let them in without violating their rights.

People who are not citizens and are not on US soil have zero (none whatsoever) rights under our constitution.
