Did the Supreme Court leave itself open to litigation?

Dafuq?

They listed out some examples of what a direct tie will look like.

In the end this will be a moot question anyway because before all of this can be figured out the Executive Order will expire and new travels guidelines will be instituted by the proper departments.

That's not what they said at all. And their ruling was specifically regarding Trump's EO.

Nah, but the ruling's interpretation will probably be challenged when someone gets stopped from boarding a plane and phone's back to the US. Other judges will have to fight that battle.

I'm going to be kind and presume that the OP meant to say "Didn't the SCOTUS know that with this ruling being so unclear, it is just going to invite more and more lawsuits and drag this thing on for years"?

At least I hope that is what he meant.

I said I was being kind.

Which is precisely (maybe minus the "years" aspect) that Gorsuch said.

Maybe to the Ultimate Supreme Court?
Or
The Secret Top Supreme Court?
Or
The Tip Top Supreme Court?

Did you read the ruling? They did spell it out in detail, examples are

Thomas seems to think there is cause for concern:

Moreover, I fear that the Court’s remedy will prove unworkable. Today’s compromise will burden executive officials with the task of deciding—on peril of contempt— whether individuals from the six affected nations who wish to enter the United States have a sufficient connection to a person or entity in this country. See ante, at 11– 12. The compromise also will invite a flood of litigation until this case is finally resolved on the merits, as parties and courts struggle to determine what exactly constitutes a “bona fide relationship,” who precisely has a “credible claim” to that relationship, and whether the claimed relationship was formed “simply to avoid §2(c)” of Executive Order No. 13780, ante, at 11, 12. And litigation of the factual and legal issues that are likely to arise will presumably be directed to the two District Courts whose initial orders in these cases this Court has now— unanimously—found sufficiently questionable to be stayed as to the vast majority of the people potentially affected.
