Because Trump called the bluff.
The panel essentially took over the country and gave everybody on the planet rights under our constitution.
The expected result was that Trump would appeal, the Supremes overturn the 9th but slap Trump’s wrist. If Gorsuch was on the court at the time of the reversal, Dems scream bloody murder and demand a more “moderate” judge when the next Supreme quits or croaks.
Trump said, “OK, dummies, I won’t appeal, good luck with that” and they now need a way to back out.
Trump will make them say that they were wrong, in a very public manner. It will make it much, much harder for judicial activists to oppose Trump in the future.
Trump has great big brass ones, that’s for sure.
Quite possibly. The rest of the judges on the 9th circuit may also have just realized that the next terrorist attack on US soil is blood on their hands.
Nothing will save this menagerie of communist retards calling themselves the “Ninth Circuit” from being destroyed.
Congress and Trump have the power to break up this jackal pack, the party is over.
