Its encouraging to see that some judges can actually read.

Congress makes laws.

Courts decide if laws can be applied legally as written under our constitution. Their job is not to devine the intent of the framers.

A law says what it says, nothing more. If you don't like what it says then change the law.

Look at tail with his "SC decision" on something which hasn't been heard yet.... he's so far up trumps butt that he can see the future.

So they didn't decide to partially reinstate the ban?

And for the record, nowhere above did I say it was a good thing. Nor bad.
But you made your decision without any facts.
Again.

Justice Thomas said it best when he said that our Nation's security is more important than temporary individual inconvenience.

This is only a small victory for Trump.
The lower courts could have adopted the same "limited" ban, with family etc. being admitted.
Instead they chose to make it a partisan issue rather than a legal one, as proven by the SC decision.
It's truly shameful.

Words are important and mean things tail.

In this case using the word "decision " when talking about the supreme court means more than how you used it. a decision has not been made. They are allowing some of the ban to take effect while they wait to make their decision.

Using the wrong word at the wrong time may lead some individuals to think the supreme court has weighed in on it already.

It's pretty sad that the President who is responsile for border security can't shut the borders down to prevent those who would do harm from entering.

I'm actually pretty comfortable with separation of powers and giving very little unilateral power to one man, even in instances when I agree with them. Obama or Trump, thank god our founding fathers were smart.

I know what you're saying, but when speaking (typing) about what transpired the wording becomes awkward when trying to avoid the term "decision" in my first post.
I wasn't trying to use legalese. Quite the opposite.
And the term does have meaning outside the court. Which is where I preside.

Legalese sounds like what you'd get if a lawyer fornicated with a maltese..

The maltese would have to be on top.
Because, you know. lawyers can only f*ck up.
