Told ya.

It was a huge strategic mistake for the President to appeal to the courts. Given the make-up of the 9th Circuit, they were never going to rule on the merits of the lower court judge’s restraining order, vis a vis established law and the Constitution.

The court is in a state of insurrection, and should have been ignored by the President and his cabinet. He should have slapped down the Seattle judge on day one, and had Sean Spicer read out the relevant federal statutes, Supreme Court decisions, and sections of the Constitution to the people.

Now the case has to be appealed to the Supremes, who will deadlock 4 to 4, thus rendering the decision of the 9th Circuit as a precedent and OVERTURNING established law and the Constitution.

This cannot stand, or there is no more America.

No, then all hell would break loose. The media would be running stories on front pages and on TV 24/7 calling him a rogue president who should be impeached. It would be a disaster. Optics are important.

However, I do agree with you, but as a nation, we are not yet there. It would do more harm than good.
