It's very clear...the president CAN limit immigration:

"(f) Suspension of entry or imposition of restrictions by President

Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate."

But of course...someone will twist the words around...like they do with the anchor babies to make them "legal". Illegal's are NOT under the jurisdiction of the US when they drop their anchor baby. They are trespassing...sneaking around undetected. And WHEN under the jurisdiction...are removed...as trespassers.

First, the lawyer for the Govt was unable to prove the beginning of the clause you cite, i.e. detrimental to our country. NONE of the countries banned have EVER been involved in one single, even investigation of terror. Citing the previous administration mentiong said same countries fell on deaf ears because those mentions were a warning about dangers traveling TO, not about folks coming FROM.

Again, why this administration rushed headlong with no thought escapes me. They do all this with "mouths blazing" and then end up alienating the world with lying trying to recap.

Why they could not immediately begin a review of vetting, while working on a ban that was not so obviously aimed at Muslims, for political purposes. They would certainly have more on their side.

When this judge asked the US attorney about cause, she actually responded by saying she was not aware she needed to show a reason.

Trump will eventually win this somehow, but the inept foolishness thus far simply makes America look foolish.

Then compound it by taking a strong defense of Putin killing on the pre Super Bowl nterview.
