The US Supreme Court has partially lifted an injunction against President Donald Trump's travel ban.
The Supreme Court said in Monday's ruling: "In practical terms, this means that [the executive order] may not be enforced against foreign nationals who have a credible claim of a bona fide relationship with a person or entity in the United States.
"All other foreign nationals are subject to the provisions of [the executive order]."
Mark this down as a win for Donald Trump. The path to entry into the US for immigrants and refugees from the affected nations, if they don't have existing ties to the US - either through family, schools or employment - just became considerably harder.
The decision marks a reaffirmation of the sweeping powers the president has traditionally been granted by the courts in areas of national security. There was fear in some quarters that the administration's ham-fisted implementation of its immigration policy could do lasting damage to the president's prerogatives. That appears not to be the case.

Even better, we should build a wall around the seven boroughs, shouldn't we?

We should! And it's a good thing, as it looks like the promotional materials are coming in just at the right time [deadline.com].

Seven boroughs? The five boroughs plus jersey and connecticut?
Washington DC delenda est.

At the very least, I think we can all agree that we should build a wall around New Jersey.

They celebrated when the Twin Towers fell. Thousands of them got up on the rooftops and partied. Shameful!
