Re: Supreme Court agrees with Trump administration...
Bottom line: You can't tell the SCOTUS what evidence they can consider. They'll be the judges of that.
The SCOTUS has wide latitude and can consider the frame of mind a decision-maker holds. They can consider his statements that a judge ruling on a case of his should be excluded because of his ethnicity. They can weigh statements he said about Muslims and terrorism, etc.It doesn't matter what I like or not, it matters what a competent judge would do. If a judge thinks that a travel ban's legality is dependent on statements the President made several months ago, then there is a serious problem with that judge. The text of the travel ban is unaffected by such statements. Completely foolish.
