So clearly did the high court assert Trump’s authority under the Immigration and Nationality Act that this case could well be remembered for its weakening of the judicial resistance seeking to use the courts to undo the voters’ choice in 2016.

It’s not just lower-court judges ignoring the president’s statutory authority. Or requiring, the court noted, Trump to jump through hoops that no court ever imposed on his predecessors.

There’s also the question of federal district judges handing out “universal” injunctions that reach way beyond the parties involved — affecting the whole country or even the world.

The district judge in Hawaii — Derrick Watson — had enjoined Trump from implementing the travel restrictions anywhere. Chief Justice Roberts felt no need, in this case, to sort out the issue.
