They need to slap down the reasoning behind those ridiculous rulings, goes way beyond the issue at hand.

Will the 'newest' decision from the 9th affect the ruling?

I hope they bitch slap the 9th Circuit in the most humiliating way that words can convey.
This needs to be 9-0 but of course it will be a lot closer. The wise lesbians will not ever do the right thing.

Oh boy. Thanks for the heads up.

Good test today for O's axiom "elections have consequences".

Which way will this ruling go? If it goes in Trump's favor will it be effective immediately?

They will decide whether to keep the stay in place during appeals or whether they should allow the implementation

That just says they'll decide whether to take the case, not that they'll actually render a decision today.

I predicted it would happen on this past Friday, off by 1 workday. Guess they didn't want to distract from the Tigahs beating the Beavers.

Just because it may be on a conference schedule doesn't mean that they will decide on cert. Some cases get deferred five or six times before cert is denied.

I think because it is a timed ban and not open ended, they will leave the stay in place while the take it up for arguments. If they remove the stay while it proceeds through arguments then it will have run its course before the court ever renders a decision. Other than setting a precedent for future courts to look back to, their arguments and decision will have been a waste of time if they release the stay.

Justice Anthony Kennedy, who has cast the decisive vote in some of the court's most far-reaching decisions, turns 81 next month and is widely believed to be thinking of retiring.
When asked about that, White House adviser Kellyanne Conway told ABC: "I will never reveal a conversation between a sitting justice and the president or the White House, but we're paying very close attention to these last bit of decisions."
One of those decisions could come Monday, if the nine justices are prepared to rule on a White House challenge to lower-court findings blocking Trump's attempt to limit travel from six predominantly Muslim countries.
The court could also delay its recess to allow more time to consider the case, or even put it off to the fall session.
Two federal appeals courts have so far ruled against the travel ban, with one saying it violated laws against religious discrimination and another finding that Trump had exceeded his authority on immigration matters.
The original ban and a later revised order, both blocked by courts, represented one of Trump's most controversial actions. They sparked global condemnation and threw travel from the targeted countries -- Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen -- into turmoil. Iraq was removed in the second version of the ban.
Kennedy, who was appointed to the high court by President Ronald Reagan in 1988, has often cast a "swing" vote from the bench.
He typically sides with conservatives on economic matters, gun control and voting rights, but with liberal justices on social issues like gay rights, the death penalty and abortion.
It was Kennedy who wrote the decision establishing a constitutional right to same-sex marriage nationwide.
Speculation about a Kennedy retirement was sparked partly because he was slow to hire clerks for the court's next term.
If he does step down, Trump would have a chance to deepen his mark on the nation's judiciary with the opportunity to pick another nominee for a lifetime appointment to the bench.
His first nominee, Neil Gorsuch -- once a clerk to Kennedy -- joined the court in April.
Republicans hold a 52-48 majority in the Senate, and under rules they passed to expedite Gorsuch's confirmation they would need only a simple majority to fill the next court vacancy.
But a strongly conservative successor to Kennedy could push the court firmly to the right, and Democrats say they would fight such a pick fiercely.
"I expect Armageddon on the next one," Republican Senator Orrin Hatch said after the Gorsuch confirmation, "because that's going to change... the direction of the court" far into the future.

Love it or hate it...it's the duty and responsibility of the president to carry it out.
I do not see why foreign nationals on foreign soil have any right to challenge any reason they are refused entry.

The ruling from the 9th is an attempt to not be slapped down by the SCOTUS...
It indicates they know what the ruling will be and that some conversations between the courts has taken place.
