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.

    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.
