The Supreme Court is allowing the Trump administration to fully enforce a ban on travel to the United States by residents of six mostly Muslim countries. They ruled that the ban should be in effect while the litigation process plays out, rather than remain barred by injunction.

Needless to say, many people on Twitter and elsewhere on the internet are currently releasing levels of salt that hasn't been seen since the tax reform bill was passed. Racist, fascist, hateful, bigoted, backwards, unconstitutional: all the typical names and accusations are there and in full force.

The US Supreme Court has ruled President Donald Trump's travel ban on six mainly Muslim countries can go fully into effect.
But the directive against travellers from Chad, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Syria and Yemen still faces legal challenges.
On Monday, seven of the nine justices lifted injunctions imposed by lower courts on the policy.
The ruling covers the third version of the directive that President Trump has issued since taking office.
The presidential proclamation also imposed restrictions on travellers from North Korea and some Venezuelan government officials, which have gone into effect.

In striking down the other parts, lower court judges had cited Mr Trump's campaign description of his policy as a "Muslim ban".
Further arguments will be heard this week by federal courts in San Francisco, California, and Richmond, Virginia.
In June, the Supreme Court allowed an earlier version of the policy to take partial effect.
The president's travel bans have each been frustrated by the courts to some degree:
- In January, he signed an order banning people from seven Muslim-majority countries and suspending all refugee entry. The measure prompted protests and legal challenges across dozens of states
- A revised version in March exempted green card holders and dual citizens. By June, the Supreme Court allowed most of it to go into effect, a including 120-day ban on all refugees entering the US, but granted a wide exemption for those with a "bona fide connection" to the US
- That was superseded by Mr Trump's third order, announced in late September, which added non-Muslim-majority nations North Korea and Venezuela
