WASHINGTON -- The Supreme Court is allowing the Trump administration to

 fully enforce a ban on travel to the United States by residents of six mostly 

Muslim countries.

The justices say in an order Monday that the policy can take full effect even

 as legal challenges against it make their way through the courts.

The ban applies to travelers from Chad, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Syria and Yemen.

 Lower courts had said people from those nations with a claim of a "bona fide" 

relationship with someone in the United States could not be kept out of the

 country. Grandparents, cousins and other relatives were among those courts

 said could not be excluded.

Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Sonia Sotomayor would have left the lower

 court orders in place.

Well, Not All Of The Judges In This Country Are Trapped In Trump Hate And Love Of The Law

BREAKING: Federal Judge UPHOLDS Trump Travel Ban! [VIDEO]

Good news for President Donald Trump’s travel ban!

While he has faced court defeats in Washington, Maryland and Hawaii on his revised travel ban, he has now chalked up a victory in Virginia.

Young Conservatives Reports

From The Blaze:

Judge Anthony Trenga, who was appointed by former President George W. Bush, said in his 32-page ruling that Trump was legally allowed to ban travel from those specific countries and that the executive order was not discriminatory in nature as the Palestinian activist who filed the lawsuit requesting an injunction had suggested.

Trenga wrote that the president “has unqualified authority to bar physical entry to the United States at the border.” He also pointed out that the executive order itself does not mention religion and has a “state secular purpose” of protecting U.S. citizens from terrorist attacks.

The judge didn’t view Trump’s campaign rhetoric about a “Muslim ban” as being dispositive and did not accord it the weight that Judge Derrick Watson in Hawaii did.

Here’s a good breakdown as to why Judge Watson’s opinion was wrong, including finding a violation of constitutional rights of non-citizens.

The interpretation of the judge in Virginia is much more in line with normal interpretation of the law.

Generally, you interpret a law, or in this case an order, based on the plain language, you don’t go looking at everything that may have ever been said on the subject, not even necessarily on the order itself.

You don’t look beyond it at intent unless the law/order is itself unclear, which this order is not. The order itself has no religion and has no discriminatory aspect about it.

Not to mention as the judge in Virginia correctly notes, it is the purview of the president to set immigration policy, not the courts.

So thankfully there’s at least one judge who cares about the law and not reading his own opinion into it.

Judge Who Ruled Against Trump Travel Ban Is Former Obama Classmate

It turns out that Judge Derrick Watson, the U.S. District Court Judge who on Wednesday ruled against President Trump's temporary travel restriction, has an interesting connection to President Obama: both he and the 44th president were classmates at Harvard Law School.

The Honolulu Star Advertiser reports:

U.S. District Judge Derrick Kahala Watson, who halted President Donald Trump’s revised travel ban Wednesday, is a 1984 graduate of Kamehameha Schools who was in President Barack Obama’s class at Harvard Law School.

Watson, 50, was appointed by Obama in November 2012 and confirmed by the U.S. Senate in April 2013. Watson said in a June 2013 interview with the Honolulu Star-Advertiser that he never met Obama at Harvard and knew him only as head of the school’s law review.

President Obama made a surprise visit to his home state of Hawaii on Monday, the Honolulu Star Advertiser reported earlier this week.
