They made sure it went through the 9th with the 4-4 SC l’d say the EO is doomed. When Trump played the game and went the appeal route instead of defying the renegade Judge it was game over.
No, I think win-win. He gets it reversed or pillars limbs and judge when one of these people commit a crime or kill someone. Already looking embarrassing for judge and supporters.
They probably thought they would try the appeal route first and can always defy later. I would think Trump got some expert advice on this stuff. At least I hope so.
No! It's better to appeal it, because it shows what jackasses the Dems truly are, putting 3rd world savages ahead of the American people. Also, this is long-ball politics. Remember, Trump's SCOTUS pick isn't confirmed yet nor is Sessions. It's better to hold on this for now. Trust me, Trump has the law on his side and when it rules for him.
I agree. The President's EO is on firm legal and constitutional footing. He should have ignored the judge's overreach and put his foot down, as regards his actual authority in this matter.
Appealing the ruling through the courts, as currently constituted, is a dead end, which will only result in his being nullified.
It’s not game over if the 9th Circuit shoots him down.
He’ll have the SCOTUS. Further, he doesn’t have to file right away. It will make it dicey on the current set of people frozen out, but it will eventually be approved.
Once we get Gorsuch on the SCOTUS, Trump prevails.
Once again the 9th Circuit Court will look like a bunch of buffoons.
Now, all that being said, the 9the Circuit Court has had some interesting rulings in the last couple of years. I wouldn’t rule them out striking down the lower judge’s order, but I do still see it as a long shot.
