That would require teaching Donald Trump fractions.

Agent orange trying so hard to jam the 'distraction button' once more so eyes are on him instead of the huge, Russia sized storm brewing over the horizon.
Problem is he's done so many times without any long term thought the button is quickly falling apart, much like the administration, and keeps getting jammed so people easily catch onto the bullishit and carry on with the real important shit.
Like the judges who will look at the proposal.

There's an investigation going on that's likely to last at least a year. The news for that isn't going anywhere.

I'm pretty sure the smartest thing a terrorist can do in the current climate is to actually not do anything.
Trump himself is doing more damage to the country than any terrorist attack. Why interrupt him? An actual terrorist attack would kill less people than Trump's health care policy, and would only provide a focal point that America can unify under.

Wouldn't the best terrorist attack be one that threatened or hurt Trump himself? Even if Trump lived it would leave him and his base running scared and they're just as likely to cause as much if not more harm to Americans then another 9/11 repeat would.
It's surprising to see you feel that way.

Yet every L weakens America in the eyes of the world regardless -- which is a W for Putin. Every breath Trump takes he's fucking us all. Whether or not he's "successful".

I don't know. The Court is pretty tough when it comes to outright discrimination.
It's not like the 4th circuit is some bastion of liberalism.
The funny thing is, the original ban was for 90 days. It's been well beyond that and, hey, we haven't been overrun with terrorists from any of the countries named in the ban (or any country for that matter) - crazy. So the Trump administration would somehow have to argue that we are under imminent threat from countries listed in the ban, but has absolutely zero evidence to point to in support of their argument.
There's a high likelihood that the SC simply refuses to hear the case. It's already been unanimously struck down by lower courts for perfectly sound reasoning, and the Trump administration has yet to provide a single shred of evidence that this ban would stop any sort of imminent threats to our national security.
Prepare to take another L, Trumpy.

I would not be surprised if this administration sat on intel and allowed an attack to happen purely to serve their heinous self-interests.
They're that legitimately evil.
Cool... Legislative failures are still a win.

In addition to his own dumbass words that originally called for an actual Muslim ban, he's already fighting such an uphill battle since these things have already been determined. Not to mention we have an obligation to accept these people considering we're actively contributing to the absolute fucking chaos in the middle east.

When we had our fav Kenyan Muslim Overlord at the helm, seemed like the FBI squashed all those wannabe jihadists (with exceptions of course) from getting anything done. DFW alone they were catching these fools left and right. Hope our new dear leader does not change this.
I really miss Obama I am still in the denial phase of Trump being president.

I seriously doubt that even the Conservative judges are going to side with Trump. His executive order clearly violates the constitution. It's not like social issues where they have to see how vague statements in the constitution applies to certain situation. As long the state attorney generals put up a fight, they will succeed.
The admin might, but the people that brought the intel to Trump will know. They can't keep the Russia investigation from constantly leaking juicy stuff, does anyone think they could keep the lid on a terrorist attack?
Do you really think both Kennedy and Roberts are going to let this slide by? I doubt it, personally, especially given its luck in the lower courts.
Of course, we'll see, but I doubt the SC is even going to hear it. The way they've acted about it has made me feel that way.

If he really wants to ban countries that sponsor and shelter terrorism he should add a few to the list like Russia. Oh and not including countries just because you have a hotel there isn't obvious or anything either.

It's basically impossible on Trumps scale (based on USA internal laws as well as international ones) but they keep pushing lol. They're asking them to ignore how they reached their own recent judgements, "just do it". lol.

The Supreme Court has a jukebox?

Outside just gloom and pessimism, why do you say that? We've had two court circuits, one left leaning and one right leaning, strike it down. I don't see any specific reason to think this will go differently. Trump screwed himself by calling this a Muslim Ban several times before he backtracked and tried to say it was something else. Unfortunately for Trump, the courts are actually a place where what you say matters so matter how much you try to walk it back

This is gross.
Terrorists are not sitting around waiting on US policy decisions to strike one way or another. Trump is not rubbing his hands hoping for the death of thousands of US citizens by brown people with bombs.
The laptop ban was implemented based on real intel... and we know this because Trump leaked the source almost immediately to his buddies.
This ban will be shot down again because the president is a moron who couldn't keep the word "Muslim" out of his mouth, and they haven't produced any evidence that justifies the countries specifically on the list while excluding others.

So how does this work? Does the Supreme Court get a time period to decide when to act on this or something? Do they have to issue a response within a certain amount of time?

I'm honestly not so sure about that. And as for the people surrounding him, like Bannon...

Wait, what? They're asking for the original 90 days, right? The original order was at the end of January, which would mean the original ask would have them supposedly having all the controls in place by lets say the start of May. Yet in June they're asking again for the original request of 90 days, which means the original request would have been completely ineffective anyway since obviously that period wasn't enough for them to get their new processes in place.
Right?
Right?

He's trying to kill the ACA for personal political gain while harming millions. He doesn't give a fuck. I could see him secretly wishing for an attack, easily.

Didn't he hire judge he likes? I think you might be right.
