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.

    Why, yes, I do indeed prefer reality over fantasy. Even if it is uglier. I know that's not your thing though, so I won't pressure you.

    You don't understand, its cute in an adult baby shitting its pants kinda way. Red pill is just a catchphrase you rely on and it has troubling overtones. You are a bigot, it is just tied up with your fiscal economics so you're able to delude yourself. Red pill indeed, see a therapist then.

      You can't be a bigot unless you're actually bigoted against someone. Having a policy that shows X demographic under-represented is not bigoted unless it says don't hire/admit/etc... X demographic. College admissions based strictly on grades/ACT score/extra curriculars is not bigoted, no matter how much you want it to be. What is bigoted is discriminating against people based on their not being born into your preferred race, which for libtards is black lately. No matter how you want to rationalize it, you are racists as much as any Klan member for holding positions like that.

    You know, there's a fan theory about The Matrix that Morpheus, the Red Pill, Zion, and the whole lot of it are actually a secondary containment mechanism for any human batteries that figure out the first layer is a delusion. Under this hypothesis, Neo never actually made it out. And if we're really talking about a world taken over by advanced AI, this is *far* more plausible than the silly, infantile superhero-trope-gasm that the trilogy turned into.

    In this case, I can tell you for goddamn sure the "red pill" movement is precisely this kind of thing. You think you've reached some kind of higher level of intellectual function for having had the "dark enlightenment," and so you've been trapped, turned into a useful idiot for the actual ruling class sociopaths.

    Y'see, Uzzard, you're not part of the elite. You never will be, no matter how much water you carry for them or how many of their boots you lick. You're as depraved and ignorant as them, but you'll never see any benefit from that depravity.

    In a word, you're small-time :) And you always will be, even (perhaps especially...) after you die.

      Trilogy? What trilogy? I reject the reality wherein shitty sequels to a perfectly good movie were made. There can be only one Highlander and there can be only one Matrix.

      In a word, you're small-time.

      In a word: duh. I had to turn down a lot of work and chances to grow to stay so over the years. I am precisely where I want to be.

          Why would you be sad that I've been happy running a small business? Oh, right, I almost forgot you're a greedy libtard who only cares about money.

            That, I'm guessing, was one of your attempts at "winding people up." It is also, unfortunately, indistinguishable from your normal background shittiness, so thanks for illustrating my point with an example :) You are a textbook case of malignant narcissism.

            And once again you (deliberately) misunderstand me; I am speaking of your moral and spiritual state, not your physical one. Shrouds don't have pockets, coffins don't have ledgers, and for your sake you'd best hope yours is lined in asbestos...

                You always get reduced to this when you're backed into a corner and beaten senseless. Uzzard, you would do *so much better here* if you wouldn't keep replying every time someone kicks your ass. For someone who thinks of himself as a master troll, you really don't seem to understand how this stuff works. Know when to fold.

                  Sweety, honey, darlin, unless I get mad you're not trolling anyone and I don't get mad about your phoned-in blather. You're simply beneath me. Please continue on though; it does amuse.

                    You don't know when to stop, do you? Or about the Streisand Effect. In a nutshell, you're not nearly as clever or witty as you think, and your continued replies only make people think the worse of you. Like all your kind, though, you don't know when to lie down and shut up. That will be your downfall; you may count on it.

                    And imagine what I could do to you if I were an actual troll! Your giant, fragile ego simply will not allow you not to have the last word. Be glad I'm a nice person :)
