   Judge Andrew Napolitano predicted Wednesday that he believes   
   President Trump's travel ban will be upheld with a 5 to 4 vote   
   in the Supreme Court.   
      
   The Trump administration is arguing that the ban is in the best   
   interest of U.S. national security, while critics say the move   
   is discriminatory because it impacts mostly Muslim countries.   
      
   The justices took the rare step of making an audio recording of   
   Wednesday's proceedings.   
      
   "I think there are 50 predominantly Muslim countries in the   
   world. Five predominantly Muslim countries are on this list. The   
   population of the predominantly Muslim countries on this list   
   make up about 8 percent of the world's Muslim population," said   
   Justice Samuel Alito in the recording.   
      
   "If you looked at the 10 countries with the most Muslims,   
   exactly one -- Iran -- would be on that list of the top 10. So,   
   would a reasonable observer think this was a Muslim ban?"   
      
   The controversial ban restricts visitors from five Muslim   
   countries, North Korea and Venezuela.   
      
   Supreme Court justices voted in December to allow the ban to   
   take full effect until they came to a conclusion in the court.   
      
   "I don't like to make this kind of a prediction," Napolitano   
   said. "Because often, questions by the justices do not reveal   
   how they truly feel," Napolitano said.   
      
   "But having read the transcript as well as listening to the tone   
   of the questions, it is very clear to me how they feel."   
      
   The Fox News senior judicial analyst said the challenges to the   
   ban are based on whether the president has the authority to   
   implement it and his incendiary statements about banning Muslims.
