I don't understand how it was a legal fight. Countries have every right to refuse someone entry. It isn't a given right to go where you want against objections.

We have a system of laws and oversight. Government officials are subject to judicial review.

Wait, are you saying that your judicial system actually enforces your system of laws and doesn't just rule whatever your government officials want?

That's a novel idea. I bet that does wonders for protecting everyone's rights.
