Why do you keep posting things that are not true?
Trump, as President of the United States, can actually ban whomever he wants as far as immigration goes, for any means whatsoever. Period. Not Constitutional? Please link to me the rights of non-citizens in the Constitution.
I'm surprised that as a Progressive you don't understand the term Plenary power. Or maybe you do, for Progressive presidents.
The ability to shut down the refugee program was specifically delegated to the president under 8 U.S.C. §1157(a)(2) — the same authority Obama used to ratchet up refugee intake. However, the glue that binds Trump’s authority to shut off all or any category of immigrant and non-immigrant visas comes from INA 212(f), which is at-will plenary authority expressed in the strongest terms:
Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate.
This is not the type of provision that a court can demand evidence that the condition of “detrimental to interests” was met. The delegation of authority was designed as plenary power under the broad auspices of “detrimental interests.” The courts have absolutely no authority to second-guess the president’s determination. That is up to Congress and the electorate. As a recent CRS report observes from the House Report on the 1952 immigration bill that granted this authority: “The bill vests in the President the authority to suspend the entry of all aliens if he finds that their entry would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, for such period as he shall deem necessary.” [H.R.RPT.1365, 82d Cong.,2d Sess., at 53 (Feb. 14, 1952)]
These judges have no jurisdiction in the matter, as anyone with a lick of common sense can ascertain.
As far as anti-American, that would be a Progressive, since it is their goal to remake America into a statist Utopia.
That would be you.
So at least get your terms straight.

1950s: McCarran-Walter Act, 1952
Not the Constitution....
Jesus...
As I told you before, under Article I Congress has absolute power over immigration.
The 1952 Act extended that CONSTITUTIONAL grant of power to the President.
In this case, your president -- Donald J. Trump.
Except the court of law has overuled the President and there is nothing he can do against it thanks to the judicial branch of the government.
He can go to supreme court and be overuled again if he wishes to and it will put an end to the debate.
He can then choose to ignore it and be held in contempt of court and we can send the US marshalls over to the white house.
The ruling will be overturned by the Trump Supreme Court. The Constitution and law is with your president -- Donald J. Trump, 100%.
The Left is powerless to stop the Trump agenda.

The left and right paradigm does not apply to a situation where appointed and tenured judges can subvert the elected leadership, and the law of the country. Anybody, regardless of politics should be concerned.
The man being used as a political tool is suing the government,, obstructing the government, because of sadness, because he won't be able to see his mother-in-law. And worse, the judges are in on it.

Actually, courts these days, including SCOTUS, are highly political. For anyone to think that any court decision isn't political is laughable.
SCOTUS itself has right and left wing judges that always vote with their respective parties (mostly) on every issue. Justice Roberts was the one hold out on Obamacare, but mostly, they rule the expected way every time along party lines.
A non political court is a pipe dream.

THIS PARTICULAR Supreme Court has dealt a couple of nasty (for conservatives) surprises. Judge Roberts comes to mind, and his siding with the Obama administration twice, regarding ObamaCare.

I have ZERO doubt the SCOTUS will reverse this idiot leftist ruling.
Trump has absolute power to stop ANY group from entering this country. The law is clear.

How will we know when the "Travel Ban" case is in the Supreme Court's In-Box, and how will we be able to follow its progress? Will government lawyers have to argue Trump's position before the Supreme Court? I hope not. Government lawyers seem to go weak-kneed before the mighty Supremes.

Supreme court? Like Reagan did? Don't forget Reagan tripped over himself to get Ginsburg in there, big first. Look at the success she was/is.
Wasn't Ginsburg ruling conservatively until she took that fall?

Actually you also do not understand the term Plenary power.
I'm sure you also think that Hillary is up by 4 points.
The judicial branch has no check on plenary power, only Congress and we the people do.
This matter has already been gone over by the Supreme court in the late 1940's. Their decision was later codified into law by Congress. It is called the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952. The Supreme court found that, in matters of immigration, the President has plenary powers. The judicial system has no authority over them.
I'm going to stop responding to people such as yourself because it is beginning to be the same thing as talking to my cat. It serves no real purpose because at the end of the day you have no idea what I'm talking about. You have an internet connection and a brain. Please use both.
