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.

    Alt right Hitler saluting gunfucker, should have lost your virginity before you joined the Navy so you wouldn't fuck every willing sailor and dirty whore that crosses your path. Looks like you brought back a serious case of "the stupids" and after years of festering it has even evolved digital carrier waves! Anyone with a mind as closed as yours is an unwitting suspect, their stupidity will be turned against them and finally amplified. Your face stomping boot licking attitude is traitorous to the principles we hold dear in the US.

    I think its time we got the B Ark loaded. I'll take death by phone flu over the steady grind into idiocracy we've got going on now.

      Whores have STDs and are generally a pretty sad way to get laid. But I'm not surprised you think that is an insult. You probably don't trust people who don't drink or swear either.
