There is no going back on this now. If I were Trump, I’d have Attorney General Sessions visit Justice Kennedy tonight, carrying with him Top Secret classified briefing information regarding the risks to the US presented by terrorists currently living in the seven countries affected by Trump’s order. I would present evidence that actors in those areas may indeed be attempting to manufacture “dirty bombs” which could be transported in a suit case via airline travel.

I would then ask Kennedy for an emergency SCOTUS hearing and ruling on Judge Robart’s block on Trump’s foreign policy order. We cannot allow the precedent to be set that a President’s foreign policy decisions can be abruptly abrogated by a Federal District court on the basis that it may “harm” any particular state. Any action taken by a President could be construed by any particular state to “harm” said state. If this is allowed to stand, the result will inevitably be that the President will have to sit around vainly trying to figure out a way to conduct foreign policy in such a way as to avoid any state from abrogating orders and/or actions by claiming “harm”. Are all future Presidents now going to have to pre-clear foreign policy orders with Judge Robart in Seattle before making any decisions? This is an absurd situation.
