“From Congress to state legislatures and school boards, Muslim Americans spurred to action by the anti-Muslim policies and rhetoric of President Donald Trump and his supporters are running for elected offices in numbers not seen since before the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, say Muslim groups and political observers.”
The United States Supreme Court is seen as the last resort for Americans whose views are not shared by the majority. However Tuesday’s ruling upholding President Donald Trump’s travel ban was called a “decision that will live in infamy.”
Rachel Maddow used the Supreme Court ruling on the Muslim ban as part of a compelling argument for why it will be up to the voters to check Trump by electing a Democratic Congress in November
This was already a big week for immigration law at the Supreme Court, and it could get even bigger.
The Trump administration lost their bid to include extended families in their Muslim ban 2.0 in federal court on Thursday.
For a guy who has fought to ban Muslims from the country and has repeatedly denigrated and isolated those who practice Islam, both at home and abroad, Trump's silence is certainly not surprising.

One phrase in the Supreme Court’s decision allowing Trump to implement a part of his Muslim ban is the key to determining which Muslims are allowed to visit the United States and which are not.

The most damning evidence that this is, in fact, a Muslim-targeted travel ban come directly from Donald Trump's Twitter feed.
The lead attorney for the State of Hawaii versus Trump thanked the President Monday morning for acting as their co-counsel by admitting the intent of his travel ban.
Everyone remembers Donald Trump’s public statements, campaign promises and website posts where he promised to ban Muslims from the United States.
Murphy said that Trump should stop whining about not getting his way and start learning how to run the government.
"We will keep working to protect immigrant rights and maintain an inclusive, diverse, and strong America."
The world is a different place than conservatives wish it to be, and those differences are only going to become more pronounced.
No matter how the president tries to package the executive order, he cannot escape his original intent of banning Muslims from entering the country.
Opponents of Trump’s mass deportation and Muslim ban policies are using technology to fight back on behalf of the victims of these policies.
The new Trump order reduces the number of people targeted, but the unconstitutional intent remains the same.
"We need an independent media to hold people like me to account...it's important for the media to call to account people who abuse their power.”
