WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court has upheld President Donald Trump’s ban on travel from several mostly Muslim countries, rejecting a challenge that it discriminated against Muslims or exceeded his authority.

The 5-4 decision Tuesday is the court’s first substantive ruling on a Trump administration policy.

Damn good thing we got Gorsuch in.

A huge disappointment in my life is the politicization of the judiciary—at every level.

We need one more conservative justice to balance out Mr. I'm Important Roberts who's always going to be in the middle waiting on the others to pull him from side to side.

We need a couple more of the liberal justices to die off.

How much longer can RBG hang on?

RBG was born March, 1933, so only 85 years old. OTOH, she’s been reported to nod off on the bench.

Actor Ron Perlman has always been a lefty loon but he takes it to a bizarre level here:



Is that a bizarre admission or what? Does he think that was the brave or manly thing to do in his situation?

Great commentary HERE at Hotair. Best line:

"How many people go their entire lives without having the impulse to piss on themselves, in any context? When was the last time you ran into someone whom you deeply dislike and thought, “I want my urine on him, even if it means having my urine on me first”?"

Well, shit, Ronnie- by your measure, if you ever touched a hand rail in the NYC subway, you've touched the genitals of about 20% of the people in the five boroughs.

Dang, man, you need to be hospitalized or something, I guess. Bathe in Purell, then take a really, really hot shower, k?

^^^ So, he really showed Weinstein! He got a tiny bit of piss on Weinstein's hand-- from, you know, the piss he pissed all over his own hand.

Yep, good to know when ol' Ron has your back. He takes matters (so to speak) into his own hands. No police involvement, violence, no strong words, he just goes and pisses on his hands.

Ronnie was just marking his territory.

A huge disappointment in my life is the politicization of the judiciary—at every level.

From its earliest times with John Marshall (1801-1835), the United States Supreme Court, for instance, has been political.

Marshall famously told the younger Justice Story to write an opinion that was not made by interpreting the law but by following Marshall's own desires for what Marshall wanted the law to be when he said, “Now, Story, that is the law; you find the precedents for it.”

During the civil war the US Supreme Court seemed to follow the wind of politics in their decisions but, alas, they seemed behind the times when decisions emerged.

There was "the stitch in time that saved nine" when the Court changed its opinions about New Deal legislation to avoid the court packing scheme that promised to dwarf their views.

The amplified problem now is that all these lesser federal judges are making laws "better" while imposing their personal views on the whole of the country with things like political injunctions.

This is why getting judges that will interpret the law and not make the law is so important. Judicial activism has been a problem from the beginning.



(oops. I meant to write "switch" in time that saved nine.)
(oops 2. (1801 - 1835) Sheesh.)

Mr. Trump’s approval rating among Republicans is now about 90 percent

the only modern Republican president more popular with his party than Mr. Trump at this point in his first term, according to Gallup, was George W. Bush after the country united in the wake of the Sept. 11 attacks.

In interviews across the country over the last few days, dozens of Trump voters, as well as pollsters and strategists, described something like a bonding experience with the president that happens each time Republicans have to answer a now-familiar question: “How can you possibly still support this man?”

a real stumper, that one

Better check those dates.

Ha Ha. So right. (1801-1835). Too much medicine . . .

Tubetone, where did you find that story about Chief Justice Marshall and Justice Story?

Finally law prevails. Unfortunately the protestors get the press.

I remember that incident from more than one of my texts from college. My undergraduate degree is: Special Major, The United States Constitution. I focused on the subject while basically doing a triple major in philosophy, history and political science. It was in several of my course materials along the way. I read a lot of books in those years. It may have been in my thesis too.

It struck me as a pivotal glimpse of the early days of the court. It is kind of like Gregg vs Georgia to me when ignoring the record before the court, the activist Supreme Court judges dissented to seemingly, out of whole cloth, conclude that the death penalty was unconstitutional.

I was interested in finding such examples in those years and made them stick.

I have my old texts and notes but they are hard to get out just now. I remember even having the name of the case it was about but I just can't pull it out of my memory. It's teasing me, though.

I noticed that there were a few references that showed up by just putting the phrase into my search engine.

GOP needs more hardball like this.
