Trump has set a trap for the 9th Court.
If they say he exceeded his authority, most of Obama’s did also and then by default, are invalid.
If they rule in favor, it means that any Executive Order can be invalidated by a new Administration.
I suspect the 9th Circus is trying to create a ruling that keeps either of these possibilities from happening.
Further, they surely realize that anyone dying because of their action will be blood on their hands. That outweighs the people inconvenienced by the ban. Besides, in the court of public opinion, the president’s rights are rather clear, making court involvement political and unsupportable.

Yes, Obammy’s actions -did- get addressed; from the article:
“... Maybe the winning points – came last. From Clifton. Arguments of national origin, as a basis for discrimination, flew in the face of past lawful orders. Cuba for example? This is the prerogative of a president, right?...”
I like the play-by-play format...
“it means that any Executive Order can be invalidated by a new Administration”
This is already true.
