The Congress provided the President of the United States, in section 212(f) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), with the authority to suspend the entry of any class of aliens the president deems detrimental to the national interest. This authority has been exercised by nearly every president since President Carter, and has been a component of immigration laws since the enactment of the INA in 1952.
Trump is imposing a 90-day suspension on entry to the United States of nationals of certain designated countries—countries that were designated by Congress and the Obama Administration as posing national security risks in the Visa Waiver Program.
They can take it to court all they want. This option has been in the presidents tools for about 162 years. And I can almost guarantee you the supreme court will kick it back because of that. They do not have to determine the constitutionality of a law like this. It’s very straight forward.
And under section 7 of the Act:
Sec. 7. This proclamation is not intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by any party against the United States, its departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any other person.
So much for that.

Yes the law is very clear.
The Seattle judge is trying to introduce rational review into this case. Basically saying the law making branch has to come to court and provide facts for the implementation of laws. This is unconstitutional and will be quickly overturned.
