It appears the U.S. Supreme Court will have the final word about President Donald Trump's travel ban, predicts the spokesman for a pro-immigration enforcement organization.
The 4th U.S. Circuit of Appeals upheld a block on Trump's executive order, which would have temporarily banned entry for individuals from seven Muslim-majority, war-torn countries until they can be properly vetted.
Ira Mehlman of the Federation for American Immigration Reform says
the case must continue before the Supreme Court.
The scrutiny of the travel ban was mocked by former president Barack Obama, who said from Germany that "we can't hide behind a wall."
But the former president himself signed a 2015 law tightening eligibility requirements to travel to the U.S. from the same countries named by Trump's executive order. The law came after terrorist attacks in San Bernadino, California and Paris, France.
Judge Roger
Gregory's arguments are "full of legal stupidities and outright manipulations," Ben Shapiro, the conservative writer, speaker, and a frequent Trump critic, writes at website Dailywire.com.
Shapiro goes on to call the legal decision "a judicial usurpation of the highest order" and the so-called "Never Trumper" suggests that Trump is within his constitutional rights to ignore the court's injunction.
At website Conservative Review, Daniel Horowitz lists
multiple reasons why Trump is within his legal rights to win the legal fight, beginning with the President's settled legal right to bar entry of aliens.
Horowitz also writes that the federal judiciary is building a legal case on political statements and allowing foreigners to have legal standing in a U.S. court, among other reasons he argues the legal challenge is a weak case that borders on absurd.
Mehlman, meanwhile, points out
the 4th Circuit ruling comes just days after a suicide bombing by a Muslim jihadist in Manchester, England killed 22 people.
