Trump is putting up with this crap for a reason, I am sure. So far he has come out on tope and the other side gets looking pretty deflated and battered. I hope it is the same with this. If the judges, and this will be a serial problem. Each time a judge gets bypassed another will come up with a slightly different ruling. It is the same thing as suing someone into bankruptcy. If they succeed finally in stopping a Trump initiative,they would effectively stop all of them and Trump would then be Romney. I expect DJT is letting the lefties get it all out there in order to show them that there is no floor under them. I certainly hope so.
Could you elaborate on exactly how you see the President coming out on top, so far? It is not apparent to me at all.
So far Trump is undermining the credibility of your traditional activist gavel-jockey. This is timed beautifully — the start of his first term and during early deliberation of his first SCOTUS nominee.
If he were to do what Cruz wanted to, however, and simply ignore judges, then congess has an excuse to impeach him.
However, he can drag out the execution of this particular order to basically go nowhere. It’s not like the judge can punish him for delays.
Further, once judicial credibility erodes sufficiently, Trump would not be impeached for ignoring something this outrageous or more outrageous.
It’s up to Trump to decide how willing congress is to impeach him over doing the right thing.
