Our rights also pertain to citizens of other countries?

No. There were certain predominantly Muslim countries targeted.

His admin fricked up the first EO, they lost in embarrassing fashion, and they re-did the EO, and fricked that one up. Then the THIRD got passed the USSC by a 5-4 vote

quote:

President Trump acted lawfully in imposing limits on travel from several predominantly Muslim nations, the Supreme Court ruled on Tuesday.

The vote was 5 to 4, with the court’s conservatives in the majority.


quote:

Just a week after he took office, Mr. Trump issued his first travel ban, causing chaos at the nation’s airports and starting a cascade of lawsuits and appeals. The first ban, drafted in haste, was promptly blocked by courts around the nation.

A second version, issued two months later, fared little better, although the Supreme Court allowed part of it go into effect last June when it agreed to hear the Trump administration’s appeals from court decisions blocking it. But the Supreme Court dismissed those appeals in October after the second ban expired.

In January, the Supreme Court agreed to hear a challenge to Mr. Trump’s third and most considered entry ban, issued as a presidential proclamation in September. It initially restricted travel from eight nations, six of them predominantly Muslim — Iran, Libya, Syria, Yemen, Somalia, Chad, Venezuela and North Korea. Chad was later removed from the list.

The restrictions varied in their details, but, for the most part, citizens of the countries were forbidden from emigrating to the United States and many of them are barred from working, studying or vacationing here. In December, the Supreme Court allowed the ban to go into effect while legal challenges moved forward.

The amendments restrict the power of government. In this specific instance, it restricts government action based on either endorsing or punishing specific religions.

I hope this basic civics lesson helped you

The right will end up overreaching, Trumps norm, and cause the whole thing to collapse.

He should do very limited targeted bans from states with poor internal security and use public safety as the reason.

Those that think he can ban Muslims are haters of the US Constitution.

More and more it seems the MAGAF base would rather prove the negative stereotypes about the right correct over being smart enough to take on the left and win.

Trumps going to end up pushing so many away who would support him or the GOP and end up giving the next several elections to the far left.

And US law requires a predominately Muslim country to be considered a religion, as opposed to a country?

I said it was a hypothetical question, you stupid bitch. I had a genuine curiosity regarding how the SC would handle it.

Citizens of the United States of America are guaranteed First Amendment rights.

Foreigners have no such rights.

Now, if he said Americasn Citizens were now allowed to be Muslims, the SCOTUS would strike it down.

It can't enact policy intended to discriminate against a religion, whether that's in the form of a state or group of individuals.
