The Supreme Court on Monday granted the Trump administration's request to temporarily lift restrictions on the president's travel ban.

In a one-page order signed by Justice Anthony Kennedy, the court temporarily blocked the part of last week's 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruling that barred the government from prohibiting refugees that have formal assurances from resettlement agencies or are in the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program from entering the U.S.

Kennedy said that part of the decision is stayed pending the receipt of a response from the state of Hawaii. That response that is due by noon on Tuesday.

The Supreme Court's decision came less than two hours after Acting Solicitor General Jeffrey Wall filed a request for a stay.

6. Yes, so the govt could evaluate and modify vetting and security procedures.

Apparently, without the ban in place, they were administratively paralyzed.

5. Well elections have consequences when Bernie and Hillary supporters were going at each

During the Presidential election smart people keep saying you have to support the democratic nominee regardless who wins the primary because the Supreme Court is the most important thing for the next President.Some people didn't listen instead voted 3rd party or didn't vote at all and this is going to bite us in the ass with some of these rulings.Especially with the new guy on the court
