JALLENSupreme Court cancels arguments in dispute over Trump travel ban
The Supreme Court has canceled arguments set for Oct. 10 in the dispute over President Donald Trump's travel ban, after Trump rolled out a new policy Sunday.
The unsigned order from the justices Monday asks both sides to weigh in by Oct. 5 about what to do with the case.
The court had been ready to hear argument about the legality of a 90-day ban on travelers from six mostly Muslim countries and a 120-day ban on refugees from around the world.
The ban expired Sunday and was replaced by a new policy that affects eight counties and has no expiration date.
Those countries are Chad, Iran, Libya, North Korea, Somalia, Syria, Venezuela and Yemen.
Chad, North Korea and Venezuela were not covered by the earlier ban.

jhe888Sounds like there is now no case or controversy, with a different ban. Back to the drawing board.

marksman41Can a revised executive order be done each time the ban is challenged, all the while keeping the ban in place? I wonder if DJT has found a workaround of these Leftist obstructionists.

Ugh. Until the left gets a guy in power and we have to live under that kind of crap.

That must be it. They avoid deciding moot cases.
Maybe they feel a need to deal somehow with the existing injunctions and stays in effect.

LeemurSo this is an Asian ban now right? North Korea is almost 100% Asian so it's got to be racist against asians to ban travel from there.

If the changes aren't material, then it won't work. And if they are material and less restrictive, then they are less restrictive.
