Washington (CNN) For much of President Donald Trump's first year, lower court judges frustrated his efforts to impose a travel ban on certain Muslim-majority countries, condemning it as discrimination based on nationality or religion and stitching their opinions with his anti-Muslim rhetoric. Now the Supreme Court appears ready to side with the administration, accepting its arguments that the new ban is vital to national security and a valid exercise of executive power. After he was elected, Trump voiced similar, if not as robust, sentiment and denounced judges who ruled against the travel ban, belittling them on social media and questioning their legitimacy. He referred to US District Court Judge James Robart, of Washington state, as a "so-called judge" and deemed Robart's February 2017 order temporarily blocking the travel ban "ridiculous." The scathing back-and-forth that marked the earlier rounds of litigation were far from the staid Supreme Court setting on Wednesday.

Some the questions during arguments centered around whether comments by candidate Trump about Muslims should be taken into account when deciding this case.
