BREAKING: SCOTUS ISSUES SURPRISE RULING ON TRAVEL BAN CASE

>at 4 a.m.

>In inappropriately sensationalistic and self-righteous tones, some leaping on the back of Jonathan Swift, who would have scoffed at their ignorance, the lower courts have issued embarrassingly legally flawed and ill-considered rulings. The rulings align with each other in their refusal to analyze the President’s statements within the context of a political race, where candidates are not engaged in confessing their “dripping animus” against religious groups but are instead capitalizing, for instance, on opportunities to “talk tough” on terrorism. Ignoring politics, the court cannot reason sensibly whether it is more likely Trump hates Muslims (and his “travel ban” is an expression of that hatred) or that his statements about Muslims and Islam are those of a candidate taking advantage of a political opportunity to talk and look tough about a problem that by design creates “terror” among the public. Politicians find fears, and they exploit them. That is a big part of the game, particularly in a presidential race, and in this context Islam is transformed from a religion into a sensitive political issue, much like illegal immigration, which Trump can take on and in doing so reinforce his image as the candidate who is not afraid to take on the difficult issues.

>In the context of a political race Trump’s statements about Islam are most accurately understood as those of a candidate claiming political territory that his political opponent cannot touch. Any politician, when given the opportunity to “talk tough” and “promise tough” in a way their opponent cannot, regarding a universally accepted security threat, will do so, and therefore if Trump’s statements are to be scrutinized, they must be scrutinized within their proper context.

>News of horrific terrorist attacks regularly occurring in Europe and here in the US, attacks which are reported to be carried out in the name of Allah, have led, rightly or wrongly, to a significant segment of the population making a connection between Islam and terrorism. They public might be wrong to draw such a connection, but the fact that they are drawing it is a political fact. And Trump, as any smart politician would, took advantage of that political fact.

>The common sense interpretation of his statements on Islam during the campaign and after are again that they are instances of a politician locating an ideological position that is popular yet controversial and adopting it in order to highlight his willingness to “talk tough” about an issue in a way the other politicians cannot, given their political constraints. In the context of Trump’s public campaign or post-campaign statements, Islam is most precisely understood not as a religion but as a component of a political issue that a candidate may or may not use as a tool to advance his chances of victory in a political race or success in a political endeavor.

>To assume "animus" and prioritize context as the key to divining true intention, as the lower courts do, while ignoring the actual context in which Trump made his statements, is the very kind of blindness Mr. Swift had in mind. As the opinions issued by the lower courts show, judges are not, and should not pretend to be, experts in politics, and likewise are not, and have no business pretending to be, experts on matters of national security. It is for this reason courts have stayed away from such matters in the past and why this court must stay away now. The 4th and 9th circuits TRO’s are hereby overturned. Executive Order 2 in its entirety does not violate the establishment clause or any other provision of the Constitution.

So ordered.

I'll play...who wrote the Opinion

Sorry cannot reveal my source but there's no 5-4 split I can tell you that. Say what you want, but the SCOTUS is nowhere near politicized enough to play along

Lots of ammo being given to liberal press here, however.

Doesn't matter. Assuming this anon isn't a larper, then all the media can do is kick and scream.

Wouldn't surprise me if the court wanted to avoid a named opinion at all.

>>130002434
Yeah faggot. Read this >>130002087

Drumpf has fucked up by exploiting the fear of islamic terrorism and conflating it with normal islam and muslims, who are peaceful.

>SCOTUS is nowhere near politicized enough
SCOTUS is possibly the most heavily politicized branch of the US government.

Nothing on Google remotely related to OP's post.

IF TRUE, /POL/ GETS SCOTUS RULINGS FIRST. /POL/ CONFIRMED CENTER OF THE WORLD

>>130001418

I'm betting Alito. But what if it was Thomas? Wouldn't that just blow everybody's fucking minds??? It'd be awesome and surprise the fuck out of even the latent racism of the liberals who assume Thomas is a token conservative house nigga. What if all the false accusations of sexual harrassment during his confirmation just broke him for decades and now he rears his lionheaded intellectual conservatism. Scalia was just being a bro and protecting Thomas from the limelight while he psychologically recuperated from the character assassination?

>>130001969

So the zionist jews on the court sided with Trump against Islamic terrorism?

>>130001149
Sounds reasonable. Why do the lower courts seem so eager to wade into politics? The leftists on the street are going to lose their shit. It's gonna be a hot summer boys.
