u.s. supreme court upholding the president's travel ban. one of his most disputed and divisive moves since taking office. tonight, mr. trump is calling the 5-4 ruling a tremendous victory. he is sounds more emboldened to pursue his hardline immigration policies. many of his democrat uk oic opps are arguing it endorses anti-muslim bigotry. this hour, i will talk to congressman castro. our correspondents and analysts are standing by. first, let's go to jim acosta. this is a significant win for the president. >> reporter: it certainly is. president trump is declaring victory after his travel ban was upheld by the supreme court. the high court's decision also appears to accuse the president's past insensitive comments about muslims, the same rhetoric he is using about migrants coming across the border. it was supreme vindication. >> a tremendous success. a tremendous victory for the american people our constitution. this is a great victory for our constitution. >> reporter: in a 5-4 decision, the supreme court upheld the ban. john roberts said

they have set records forum ther of appointments they have made to the u.s. court of appeals which is between trial judges and f preme court and that's where muche action is because the supreme court takes so few ces. and those people are not changing the law of the land but alson deck. he is putting them on hand to be ready for this kind ofoment and change what is happening out there. robert: what about chief justice roberts, you are o workin a book, he is the key vot >> yes. of course, it does. i think for a cple of reasons. he is theeast i had logically ridge i had of the other conservativ. pete: he does think about the court as an stitution. for example, when you talk about the roe versus wadeed prt, only clarence thomas is on rord opposing record. we don't know how the other conservatives would vote. chief justice roberts would think twice and maybe four times about whether he wants t overturn a 45--year-old precedent and the same may be true on gay rights,. for examp this is, by the way, i think many people have wondered about justice kennedy's decision to st

u.s. supreme court. for years and years to come. to establish a judicial legacy that will live on long after his presidency. justice kennedy has been a swing vote on major supreme court ruling. this sets off a political power struggle. conservatives will have an effort to have their voices heard and by democrats who will try to force the president to go with a moderate or wait until after the mid-term elections. the current roster of justices issued a decision today that shows how much power they wield. they ruled 54 that public sector unions can't force workers to pay fees to support collective bargaining want not only a big hit to unions but a big financial hit for the democrat party. we have fox team coverage of the kennedy requirement. john roberts. we begin with shannon bream with details from the u.s. supreme court where she's been all day. >> shannon: it was a quiet end to the term we thought. with no hint of a requirement. that changed this afternoon. the man appointed by a republican president b

u.s. supreme court. i was not surprised having seen how the court had reasoned on similar situations it was quite clear that the philosophy of this specific supreme court with this specific political tilt would not likely shoot down donald trump's travel ban but i think it's also important to understand that the opposition to that ban doesn't just follow one path there is a legal path through the courts and that path has now come to its conclusion but the legislative path has not even begun yet and that's an effort to block this ban through congressional action and that path remains quite open and has a much higher likelihood of success and mr burns you talk to me a little bit about help is trouble been a very people maybe who you know or iranians who would want to come to the u.s. all this is had a devastating impact on the iranian american community is roughly one million people in this country very. strong community has contributed tremendously it's in and out of states almost all of them have familie
