It is not a Muslim ban...it is a travel ban Semantics. The only thing those countries have in common is that they are predominantly Muslim. “The Supreme Court has upheld the clear authority of the president to defend the national security of the United States,” To defend national security, there has to be an actual threat, not fantasies. None of the people from the countries in question have posed an actual threat. Those who may have articulated any kind of threat, are banned anyway. We routinely let people from Saudi Arabia in the country, despite the fact that 9/11 was mainly perpetrated by citizens of that country. The lie of that court decree is that the original order asked for 120 days to put procedures in place to deal with the imaginary threat. That 120 days expired more than a year ago. Procedures could be put in place without a ban, the supposed rationale was that people from those countries posed such a risk that they had to be banned or awful things would happen. Note that citizens of those countries still haven't done awful things in this country despite the stay of execution. So, what are the measures? It has been over 500 days since the emergency was called. What is taking so long?

Nobody really cares. The countries he banned have never attacked us, but they don't have any Trump businesses either. I'm glad it makes you happy!
