I respectfully disagree. It's close enough to celebrate. SCOTUS did narrow the scope, persons with a legitimates ties to the US from one of the 6 countries are be able to enter but those without ties are not. What is important to note is that the ban is for 90 days. SCOTUS, at the earliest will not hear the case for at least 96 days, 6 days past when it expires. There is a travel ban on refugees that also goes along with this and it's for 120 days, so at the earliest SCOTUS will hear the case with 24 days left in that ban. Does anyone think that they will be able to reach a decision before the 120 days is up? So in reality the travel ban is in effect for the entire time that was originally sought. Plus the fact that all 9 Judges agreed to it says something about the folly that is the 9th Circuit.
And to add that, while the decission was a per curium order, three of Judges did write an opinion in support of reversing the lower Courts ruling entirely and allowing the full ban as originally written.
This isn't just about the travel ban, it's about the the Left using the Courts to thwart legal Executive Orders because they don't like who won the election so anytime they suffer a set back is time to celebrate.
