I don't know who it was, but somebody hacked Clarence Thomas a long time ago.

Worth noting that we're talking about an injunction and not a final decision, which will come some months later.

Why was no one prepared for this? I follow American political news pretty closely (unfortunately) but I didn't see anything about this.

I sometimes enjoy your trolls, but this is a stretch, even by your standards.

Get your game back, Windy; you're becoming a faint breeze.

Worth noting that this was a different version of the travel ban than the one that was discussed in this thread. It's more limited in scope and does a better job of pretending to be about national security.

Also, I looked, and I can't find Windy making any prediction about how this case would turn out. Certainly didn't happen in this thread.

I'm kind of confused by this post, as this was more or less the outcome I was expecting. I was a bit surprised that they bought the administration's argument with respect to the ban's application to those seeking immigrant visas, but I don't remember you making a statement about that specifically.

That said, I'm flattered that you consider me the standard against which knowledge of US law should be measured; and if you did predict the Court's interpretation of the interaction between 8 U.S.C §§ 1182(f) and 1152(a)(1)(A), then good call.

Anyway, I am at work right now, but I will likely come back here afterwards to talk about the decision more fully.

Ah. And where did aviel predict that the revised ban would be struck down? Can't seem to find that either.

Trump himself called it "the watered down, politically correct version".

I like how this quote both shows where I predicted the SCOTUS result and the reaction on here.
