Supreme Court dismisses travel ban case
Because Trump replaced his earlier order, a legal challenge to it is moot.

WASHINGTON (USA Today) — The Supreme Court dismissed a major challenge to President Trump’s travel ban on majority-Muslim countries because it has been replaced by a new version, sending the controversy back to the starting block.
The ruling Tuesday (October 10) is a victory for the Trump administration, which had asked the court to drop the case after Trump signed a proclamation September 24 that replaced the temporary travel ban on six nations with a new, indefinite ban affecting eight countries. That action made the court challenge moot, the justices ruled.
