Travel Ban Could Go to Supreme Court

The Trump administration is asking the panel to overturn Robart’s order or narrow it so that the travel ban applies to everyone but permanent USA residents from the seven countries who are traveling overseas and want to return, or those in the United States who want to leave temporarily and then return.

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals announced the hearing on Monday as Trump’s administration filed legal briefs there. After Robart’s ruling, the State Department quickly said people from the seven countries – Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen – could travel to the us if they had valid visas.

The court said that a final decision on the matter is slated to be determined “probably this week”, with Judge Michelle Taryn Friedland promising a quick consideration.

What is the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals trying to decide?

The US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit in San Francisco is set to hear oral arguments at 6 p.m. Clifton seemed taken aback: “Do you deny that in fact the statements attributed to then-candidate Trump and to his political advisers, and most recently Mr. Giuliani-do you deny that those statements were made?”

But Washington state faced some severe brushback from the court, the most important being in response to Purcell’s argument that he could likely prove discriminatory intent on the part of the government. Eastern time in President Trump’s executive order banning people from seven predominately Muslim countries from entering the US.

The Justice Department, representing the Trump administration, wants the executive order to be restored immediately.

“I think to say it publicly, that’s his right”, Polster told the crowd.

It has said Trump’s order affecting seven predominantly Muslim countries was within his authority.

The court has plenty of options.

At the meeting with law enforcement officials, Trump read from the law he used to justify the travel ban, quoting it in fragments and sprinkling bits of interpretation in between.

Well, how and when a case might get to the Supreme Court is still not clear.

Flentje offered the 9th Circuit a third option, saying the court could exempt from the ban people who have previously been admitted to the US, but keep it in place for people who have never been to the country.

Few recall Gorsuch’s volunteer work at Harvard.

The agency says it will not stop visa-holders who are affected by Trump’s order from boarding planes to the U.S. That means travellers and refugees from the seven listed countries can enter the US. The ruling will have major implications for immigrants who began rushing to reach the US this weekend after the ban was put on hold.

But the reason Trump has more trouble in courts than in elections is that courts are largely apolitical.
