Supreme Court travel ban case could test Trump's reach

WASHINGTON— The Supreme Court may soon decide how courts are supposed to view presidential power in the age of Donald Trump.

The administration has promised a high-court appeal of a ruling blocking the president's ban on visitors from six majority Muslim countries.

The case could be a major test for the young administration — and for a court that's had its 5-4 conservative majority restored with the confirmation of Trump nomine Neil Gorsuch as the ninth justice.

First, the justices must agree to intervene— something they'll probably do considering the importance of the issue.

If that's the case, then they'll be dealing with an area of the law — namely immigration — where courts have given presidents a lot of leeway.

But the president's power over immigration isn't absolute.
