Supreme Court allows parts of Trump travel ban to proceed before hearing case

(The Christian Science Monitor) The Supreme Court decided to allow President Trump to prohibit entry into the United States of some (but not all) people from the majority-Muslim countries he declares to be dangerous.

What the justices’ 9-0 ruling did not say may indicate volumes about the Supreme Court’s approach to this defining issue of Trump’s early presidency.

The high court ruling on June 26 did not try to tease out Trump’s intentions from his tweets or campaign statements. It did not make judgments about the president’s personal attitude toward Muslims. In that respect, it was different from lower court rulings that have blocked the travel ban from taking effect since the White House issued it in March.
