What are we going to do if the DHS stands down on an EO and follows the directives of a judge in Seattle?

It's worth noting that the union representing the U.S. Customs and Border Patrol officers endorsed Donald Trump in the 2016 election. I believe it was the first time in the organization's history that they ever endorsed a candidate.

Even if the judge's order remains in place, these people have a lot of discretion in turning non-citizen travelers away at the border. I can easily see the DHS leadership advising the front-line officers to abide by the terms of the judge's order until instructed otherwise -- but to "exercise extreme caution" when dealing with travelers from those seven countries.

Heck -- if I were the judge who issued this stupid order I wouldn't feel comfortable traveling out of the country myself anymore.

P.S.: The Trump administration can always issue a new -- nearly identical -- executive order tomorrow ... and the Federal courts in the 9th circuit can go through this song and dance indefinitely.

Maybe that's the underlying strategy here. Keep them so busy dealing with this nonsense that they don't have any time to do any other damage to this country. LOL.

DHS did that yesterday. Didn't you hear?

This one kook in a black robe has effectively dethroned the President, and now the DHS answers to him!
