So, you're glad SCOTUS decided to put off discussing this case until fall? Because that's what they unanimously agreed to do.

@Northwest: Yes, but they let a big of it go in effect now. It is in effect until the court hears the whole thing.

@bigjohndl: The point here, is that you're repeating the President's claim, which he got form Fox news, that the decision to uphold his travel ban was unanimous. This is not the case.
The issue is much more complicated than it appears to those who only get their information from Fox News and the President's tweets. What the justices decided, is to allow parts of the ban to stand, but MODIFIED what that means.

Voted for that, while the more conservative judges, did not join in the decision, because the legal implications are very complicated.
So, if anything at all, it shows that the whole thing is less than half baked, and no one in the administration thought through the full implications.
The SCOTUS decision allows anyone who can claim a connection to the US, and that's really wide open, to be excluded from the ban.
