Supreme Court probably right to uphold travel ban. Terrible policy, and Congress's responsibility. But Congress ceded a giant national security exemption to the president. And who determines what qualifies as "national security"? POTUS. Bad law. Easily abused. But still the law.

Congress should immediately retake its Constitutionally-designated power over trade and immigration. End the "national security" tariffs and "national security" travel ban. That would make Americans safer and more prosperous, and restore checks-and-balances to the system.

Not the judiciary's job to improve national security strategy or stop Congress from voluntary ceding power. That's the responsibility of the people and their elected representatives, not 9 unelected judges Think, liberals: Do you really want SCOTUS to have such power? This court?

Short version: Travel ban is terrible policy. Makes Americans less safe. Violates American values. Sign of Congressional weakness and institutional rot. But legal. (END)
