WASHINGTON, D.C.—The Supreme Court took the rare step on Friday of expediting consideration of a major case, rapidly accelerating the schedule for reviewing the Fourth Circuit’s blocking of President Donald Trump’s travel ban executive order.

President Trump issued Executive Order 13780 (EO) on March 6, Section 2(c) of which temporarily restricted travel from six Muslim-majority countries associated with terrorism while the United States developed new vetting procedures to keep the nation safe.

The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) filed a petition for review at the Supreme Court on Thursday. Under the Court’s rules, a response from the plaintiffs would be due July 3. By that time the Court would be on recess for the summer, meaning that the justices would vote at the Court’s annual pre-Term conference, which will take place on September 25, on whether to take the case. That would typically mean hearing arguments in December or January, with a final decision coming down in early or mid-2018.

Acting Solicitor General Jeff Wall at DOJ also asked Chief Justice John Roberts (who supervises the Fourth Circuit) to stay the appellate court’s decision until the justices can decide the matter.

On Friday, the Supreme Court rapidly expedited everything. The ACLU—which represents the plaintiffs—have been ordered to file their response by 3:00 p.m. on Monday, June 12. The ACLU lawyers must also respond to DOJ’s application for a stay by that time.

The Court could conceivably then vote immediately on whether to take the case, or anytime shortly thereafter. Under a normal briefing schedule, the Court would then hear arguments in October, and issue a decision by the end of 2017.

It’s also possible that the Court could accelerate briefing on an emergency basis, then hold arguments over the summer, or possibly even in June before recessing for the summer. The Court could make clear by the week of June 12 which course it is pursuing.

Out of his patriotic desire to counter militant Islamic groups’ threat to America’s national security, Chris Gaubatz served the United States in an unusual way – he infiltrated the “Muslim Mafia.”

“He prayed alongside well-known Muslim Brotherhood figures, including the leaders of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, or CAIR,” WND reported. “But his objective was not worship … in fact, he was not even a Muslim. Chris Gaubatz grew a beard, went through a ‘conversion’ ceremony at a notorious Northern Virginia mosque and became an intern for CAIR – ultimately gathering first-hand documentation of the group’s subversive aims – because he believes the Muslim Brotherhood and its offshoots in the U.S. are a threat to the nation’s security.”

Fight against jihad now … or later

After Glazov mentioned that Islamic Sharia law requires death for those abandoning the faith, Gaubatz – who currently serves as the vice president for the anti-terrorism organization Understanding the Threat – was questioned if betrayal put his life in danger.

“From their perspective, this is a jihad, and if they’re willing to blow up children in Manchester, then, of course, they’re willing to go after someone like myself,” Gaubatz replied. “[But from a security standpoint, going public with my story] was actually safer thing to do. The last thing they want to do is bring any attention to this.”

Gaubatz – who was interviewed between the Manchester and London Bridge jihadist attacks – provided details about the lengths to which CAIR fashions the Muslim community’s response to acts of terrorism so that instead of getting negative coverage, things are spun around so Muslims are portrayed as the victims of “backlash” and Islamophobia.

They work closely with their media contacts in the mainstream media, so that as soon as something like this happens, they’re the ones setting the narrative,” Gaubatz explained to Glazov. “[The U.S. must stop approaching the threat] as though it is just people that are killing people, shooting things and blowing things up. That is barbaric, it is savage, it is evil, but that is not how we’re going to lose this war. We crush the enemy when we face them on the battlefield. The way we’re going to lose this war is in the information battle space.”

The terrorism expert insisted that the “war of narratives” in media and politics is serving to keep America from winning the war on terror.

“And as long as we’re not having a discussion about Islam being the problem, we will never defeat that ideology,” he continued. “[CAIR is collaborating with] hard-Left, Marxist and socialist groups [because they share the same short-term objective], which is to tear down American society and rebuild it in their utopian worldview.”

He noted that even though the overarching goals of Democrats and Muslims are not the same, their pact to work together is pulling America down a very dangerous path.

[The two groups work together] because they know that once they get the U.S. out of the way, there is nothing stopping them,” Gaubatz warned.

CAIR [has been] identified as a member of the U.S. Muslim Brotherhood’s Palestine Committee, which is Hamas – a designated foreign terrorist organization,” Gaubatz’s testimony to government officials reads.

“According to CAIR, America is a terrible place for Muslims,” Farah impressed. “At the same time, CAIR boasts Islam is the fastest-growing religion in America. It makes you wonder: If conditions for Muslims are so bad in America, why is Islam so popular? Why are Muslims flocking from all parts of the world to the United States – this hideous concentration camp for Muslims? I’ll tell you why. Many Muslims have come here and continue to come here to escape the Islamo-fascism of places like Iran, Iraq and Saudi Arabia – places about which CAIR never has a bad word to say.”

The conservative leader went on to provide a quote from CAIR Spokesman Ibrahim Hooper years ago when he was asked in an interview if he wanted to see the United States become a Muslim country in the future.

“I wouldn’t want to create the impression that I wouldn’t like the government of the United States to be Islamic sometime in the future,” Hooper told the Minneapolis Star Tribune back in 1993. “But I’m not going to do anything violent to promote that. I’m going to do it through education.”

Is a SCOTUS victory on travel ban in Trump's future?

A public policy analyst and constitutional attorney believes President Trump's travel ban will ultimately come before the U.S. Supreme Court – and that the high court will come down on the side of the president.

"Whether or not [the Ninth Circuit] agrees or disagrees with what the Fourth Circuit decided, the issue will ultimately end up before the Supreme Court," he predicts.

The Supreme Court, he further predicts, will issue a narrow decision.

"Obviously those who are known as the more conservative justices – Justice Thomas, Justice Roberts, Justice Alito, and Justice Gorsuch – [are likely] to all be in agreement in supporting the president's travel ban. I think based on historical precedent you can even expect Anthony Kennedy to join that opinion," he tells OneNewsNow.

"And then some who are a little bit more wide in their expectations than I am go as far as saying they could even consider on some circumstances potentially Sonya Sotomayor joining a majority in upholding the president's travel ban," he adds.

While Hamilton says he won't go that far in his prediction, he does think that the Supreme Court, on a 5-4 decision, will uphold the president's travel ban.

I also think it'll be 5-4 to uphold it . . . The real question will be, Will Justice Gorsuch be tasked with writing the majority opinion?
