And since the Trumpists are all 'itz teh KONSTITUSHUN SAYS POTUS CAN BAR ANYONE if he thinks their entry could be DETRIMENTAL to security that's the LAW!' ... a female POTUS could certainly ban entry of all males from other countries from entering based on this SCOTUS decision. The power granted is ABSOLUTE, all the POTUS has to do is say 'this class of aliens entering is detrimental to security', and THAT'S IT?!?
Since it's THEIR guy, though, and people they HATE being banned ... in THIS case ... it's all inscribed and ordained by the friggin hand of GAWD + the Constitution itself.
But watch how FAST they'd do a total fucking 180 from their bullshit justification NOW of why this is all perfectly righteous and fine ... if men were banned from entering the US?!?

(11,885 posts)When a Supreme Court legalizes religious discrimination by ignoring , excusing away just cause against it. They already destroyed our elections with dark money , and legalizing bribes paid to candidates and their campaigns from billionaires and criminals. Our Supreme Court has been corrupted now for personal political gains. Now loyalty to trump is more important than loyalty to our country and the rule of law. Sad sad day.
