Yet another victory for President Trump and for common sense. And yet another embarrassment for the Never-Trumpers who refused to support Trump and who, by their refusal, indirectly supported Hillary who would never have supported any such travel ban.
And of course, if the Never-Trumpers had their way, the composition of the Court would not have been favorable to conservative rulings.
(Once more: a Never-Trumper is a conservative of some sort or other who opposes Trump. Bill Kristol for example. Remember him? Every Never-Trumper is an Anti-Trumper, but not conversely. Is this just an arbitrary stipulation on my part? No. This is the way the terms are used by those in the know who value clarity of thought and the distinctions that support it.)
Predictably, Associate Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote a dissent that is rather less than intelligent:
“This repackaging does little to cleanse [the policy] of the appearance of discrimination that the president’s words have created,” she said. “Based on the evidence in the record, a reasonable observer would conclude that the proclamation was motivated by anti-Muslim animus.”
On the contrary, a reasonable observer would conclude that Sotomayor should not be sitting on the Supreme Court. I'll give her this, though: she has a beautiful name.
Imagine the composition of the Court after eight years of Hillarity.
Seeing as how we are in the vicinity of Islamist issues, I now refer you to William Kilpatrick's latest, Islamization in the Schools.
