<h1 class="wp-block-heading" style="text-align:center"> <strong>Trump vs Hawaii now </strong><br><strong>Trump vs Maryland?</strong></h1>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Last year the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the Trump Travel Ban. ;</strong><strong>In a narrowly divided 5-4 ruling the Supreme Court Justices upheld the Travel Ban, allowing it to remain in place and showing support for Presidential Powers. The court followed the belief that a President&#8217;s main responsibility is, keeping America safe.</strong></h4>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>The 5-4 decision was a big victory for the Trump Administration&#8217;s first major policies. A policy that affected mostly Muslim countries that had no way of verifying ;who was on the planes that would fly to the US.  ;</strong></h4>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>The ruling was ;a demonstration of the Court&#8217;s small conservative majority dealing a painful defeat to the court&#8217;s liberal Justices.</strong></h4>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>The Supreme Court had ruled in December for a third time that the Trump Travel plan could stay in place while legal challenges continued. ; This week&#8217;s ruling was the final victory needed for the ban to remain in place indefinitely.</strong></h4>

<h4 class="story-body-text story-content wp-block-heading"><strong>Today&#8217;s decision will now allow enforcement of travel restrictions to the United States from six countries including Iran, Libya, North Korea, Syria, Somalia, Yemen and parts of Venezuela. ; These restrictions will keep travel restrictions in place allowing for more stringent background checks prior to entrance to the US.  ;Those who have received waivers or refugee status will still be allowed to enter from these countries.</strong></h4>

<h4 style="text-align: left;"><strong>The role of the Supreme Court is to not weigh in with personal feelings and beliefs but rather let laws passed by Congress and the Constitution guide their decision-making process.</strong></h4>
<h4 style="text-align: left;"><strong>You may agree with the policy and the Supreme Court ruling others do not.  ;Either way, Justice Roberts left us with this “We (the Supreme Court) express no view on the soundness of the policy,”.</strong></h4>
