if we ignore the second part and just look at the first part, what does that mean?

it just means that people would be able to arrive here from the united states and make claims. it doesn't alter the structure of the law at all, it just allows for due process.

and, i'm in favour of due process.

that's a minor tweak. it's not an overhaul. that's fine.

but, if we're going to legislate that the united states is not adhering to international human rights law anymore (which is what the ruling effectively does), we're going to need something a little bit more robust than a 10 page ruling based on judicial precedent, at the federal court.
