Why is Trump frozen into inaction here?

Don’t think so

[Alas Babylon!]

Trump is not frozen in inaction. He’s waiting for the Senate to seat Gorsush to the SCOTUS.

Then, full speed ahead and federal judge overreach smack-down.

Also, McCain (of all people) has introduced bill into the Senate to break up the 9th into multiple courts. I predict it will be done.

It SEEMS slow, but all will be addressed. Patience, Grasshopper!

Why is Trump frozen into inaction here?

Because it is almost certain that the Supreme court would either go 3 to 5 against President Trump or 4 to 4 to let the lower court ruling stand.

That's why the Gorsuch nomination has become more urgent and important.

And that's why democrats will do everything they possibly can to kill the nomination in order to hand Trump a permanent defeat on the ban.

They are more interested in winning a olitical battle than in National Security.

Why the needless delay.

My take on this:

Trump sees an opportunity to use this to vilify the Federal Courts and generate a groundswell for radical reform. The thought of the clock ticking as terrorists enter the country will galvanize support behind the move. Whether that involves cutting the Ninth Circuit down to a tiny territory, adding judges to SCOTUS, dropping a mandatory retirement age on them, impeachments, or whatever.

As much as the FedCourts need to be cleaned out, I'm not pleased that he's playing political football here. The danger is all too real. It should not take actual deaths to get Congress to move on this.
