but I don't see how that applies to simply barring entry.
I agree that's different, and I don't think the EO is unconstitutional for the most part; however, some people seem to think that only citizens are protected by the Constitution. That doesn't make sense since the government must always abide by the Constitution.

The Constitution pretty explicitly makes some rights available to non-citizens, which I think some people strangely contest.

Didn't they say the White House failed to prove that there was an actual threat that required the travel ban of these specific countries?

My understanding is that the left's argument is that no evidence has been provided of an actual successful terror attack directly against the US from anyone from one of these countries.

So even though the President clearly has the legal authority to do this, he can only do it reactively and not proactively?? Wtf

That's not really what happened. Remember this is a decision specific to a stay of a TRO.

The 9th Circuit did not rule that the President can't act proactively. The 9th Circuit put what I think is a high burden (absurdly high considering the low burden applied by the district court) on the government for a showing that the stay of the TRO was needed, but that doesn't mean the same standard is going to be used in assessing the merits of the case.

As the lawyers here have pointed out (appealing to their authority), they weren't addressing that issue.

Well, I don't think the Constitution is "explicit." For example, the V Amendment uses the term "person." Does this mean anyone on the planet, or U.S. citizens, or anyone in the U.S., or something else? Some courts have concluded that Constitutional rights extend to any person within the U.S., whether a citizen or not. These rights also clearly extend to citizens while outside the U.S. I am not aware of any decision extending Constitutional protections to non-citizens while outside the U.S. (I'm not saying there aren't any - I'm just not doing the research).

Sec. 1 of the 14th Amendment is what I'd refer to as "pretty explicit" for non-citizens in the United States.

As to the second remark, Boumediene and the line of cases that preceded it are getting us closer to that line.

Boumediene held that a Bosnian (I think?) citizen in Cuba had the right to a habeas petition in U.S. courts.

The law clearly states that it's entirely up to the president to determine if a class is detrimental to the U.S. The only way the courts would have the authority to overturn this is to find that it violates the 1st amendment. The courts have overstepped.

Why would the first amendment be the only applicable basis?

Maybe there's other amendments too. The point is they would have to find it unconstitutional. But according to the law the president can make a judgement to keep people out. It doesn't say that his judgement has to be sound or that he even has to say how he made the determination. The constitutionality is the only basis in which it can be struck down.

What the court did is substitute their judgement for his, saying he failed to prove these people were detrimental to the U.S. Well, he doesn't have a burden to prove that.

the courts opinion focused largely on due process for Visa, green card
It did. And in that regard it appears the court was unfamiliar with the order, disregarded Homeland Security attestation as to dispositive intent in those cases, or both. Because application of the EO does not violate employment of appropriate due process.

Regardless, given the law, the burden of proof rests with the plaintiff.

And this EO has not actually been struck down. This is ONLY about the TRO.

I'm pretty sure that due process is referenced at least a couple places in the Constitution, hombre
