Travel Ban Approved, Mostly

Surprising no one who read the law and the 'travel ban,' the Supreme Court largely brushed aside the decisions of the 4th and 9th Circuit courts, allowing some exceptions to stand until the court is able to hear arguments in its next term.  Of course, the 120 day ban will have expired by then so it is somewhat moot.  The interesting thing to me is that I, a humble blogger with no legal training, was able to render a Supreme Court-level decision whereas numerous federal and appeals judges, with many decades of legal education and experience among them, were not.  Why is that?  The law itself, as discussed here, is not difficult to understand.  The judges who ruled against it had abandoned the judiciary and joined the #Resistance.  They ruled not upon the letter of the law but upon what they inferred from Trump's campaign statements.  Lady Justice removed her blindfold and blanched when she saw Trump.  This is how a trusted institution ruins itself.  If the law can so readily be interpreted in two diametrically opposed ways, we cease to have a rule of law.
