Since the ruling doesn't contain any explanation of why the judge thinks the plaintiffs are likely to prevail, it seems reversible on its face to me.
Roberts
Layman’s terms please.
It will now go up on appeal to the Liberal 9th circuit.
Link please
The State of Washington is not an aggrieved party.
There is no proof of “irreparable harm”.
This order is (to quote My Cousin Vinny) Bullshit.
Trump needs to ignore it. He will win on appeal.
Trump is not ignoring it. CBP is letting people in.
What is CBP?
Custom and Border Patrol
But he seemed to peter out after a few of minutes of questioning by Carlson. Inslee made an absurd claim that Trump was forcing Muslims "to go to the back of the bus," and Carlson wasn't having it.
Inslee abruptly left the interview - claiming all of a sudden that he had to go because there were "200 people waiting" for him.
District Judge James L. Robart sugned the order.

The federal judge who temporarily stopped Donald Trump’s immigration ban executive order once caused controversy by emotionally saying “black lives matter” in a hearing in which he sided against Seattle’s police union.
James Robart, who was nominated to the federal bench by George W. Bush in 2004, issued the temporary restraining order in an oral ruling, forbidding federal employees from implementing Trump’s seven-country ban.
But it’s not the first time the judge was in the news.
According to the Seattle Times, Robart declared “black lives matter” in a court hearing last August in which he decided against a Seattle police union. You can watch the video above. The judge shook his head and sighed emotionally as he made the comment. He also accused the Seattle police union of trying to hold the community “hostage” by tying compensation to services guaranteed to people by the U.S. Constitution.
The Seattle newspaper reported that Robart was presiding over “a 2012 consent decree requiring the city to adopt reforms to address Department of Justice allegations of excessive force and biased policing.” He “called for major changes that would directly affect the union’s membership: streamlined appeals of officer discipline and internal investigations conducted by civilians rather than sworn officers,” the newspaper reported.
At the end of the hearing, according to the Seattle Times, Judge Robart then became “deeply personal,” noting “a statistic that showed, nationally, 41 percent of the shootings by police were of blacks, when they represented 20 percent of the population” and referencing high-profile police shootings.
According to his judicial bio, Robart was a lawyer from 1973 through 1996 with Lane Powell Moss & Miller. He was co-managing partner from 1997-2002 at Lane Powell Spears Lubersky, and managing partner there from 2003-2004. The judge has a law degree from Georgetown University Law Center (1973), where he was Administrative Editor of the Georgetown Law Journal, 1972-1973. He has a bachelor’s degree from Whitman College.
In another police-related case, according to Above the Law, Robart doubled the city payout to people whose dog was tasered by the police, accusing the city lawyers of “terrible writing” and denying the city lawyer’s claim the people were “persecuted.” He wrote, “The treatment of the Jews by the Pharaohs in ancient Egypt, that was a persecution. What Nazi Germany did in the Third Reich, that is a persecution.”
“Trump is not ignoring it. CBP is letting people in.”
How do you know that?
There is no “muslim ban”, and the president by law has the right to ban certain nationals.
Trump is free to ignore the order. The power in the executive is not the president but only with permissions of a judge.
Customs & Border Patrol?
I read the ruling. The “likely to prevail on the merits” part is B.S. The ruling did not refer to any facts or arguments from the Plaintiffs motion, so it is hard to tell what the basis of the Judge’s ruling was.
It is just so ironic that the DOJ and Obama totally ignored and intentionally violated the Texas Federal Courts order to cease processing illegal aliens in Texas. They just blew off the Court and suffered no consequences other than a harsh talking to.
Trump should follow this Order and seek an expedited review. However the 9th Circuit will confirm because it is the most politicized Circuit (other than the DC Circuit). Then there will be deadlock at the Supreme Court 4-4, because the liberal block never breaks. It sucks.
Thank goodness we will soon have a new conservative Justice. McConnell better come through soon. Nuke ‘em, because there is nothing to lose. The Dims will nuke us as soon as they get back in power.
Let the Judge try to enforce it. It has come to that.
TRUMP YOU!
“Trump is not ignoring it. CBP is letting people in.” How do you know that?
++++
While there is no certainty in this age of Fake News the CBP letting people in at airports in Syria and the like is currently being reported in a banner running on Fox News.
Ok, thanks for that info.
Why can’t trump just issue a new EO? Change a couple words. Force the liberals to file with the courts anew.
Sorry, I mistyped, I meant to say “Trump is ignoring it, but the CBP is not”.
