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.

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)

The problem isn't just statutory, though. Under this decision, the first amendment will not prevent a de facto or partial religious rest for entry unless the president is extraordinarily bad at covering his tracks.

When the President says repeatedly in public that the policy is the closest thing he thinks he can get to a religious test for entry, it's awfully worrying that this doesn't create a constitutional problem.
