Holy cow, we have a coup in progress by the courts. And it appears that Trump put it there on a silver platter for them.

I've been saying since the beginning of this kerfuffle, that the President walked into a trap when he decided to take this to the courts.

His authority to restrict travel from ANY country, if he feels it's in the country's national security interest to do so, is firmly grounded in the law, precedent, and the Constitution.

He should have defied the Seattle judge's restraining order, and condemned him for judicial overreach. Instead, he allowed the matter to go to a higher court, which then automatically granted the judicial branch authority over the executive branch, in a matter that is literally beyond their jurisdiction to rule on.

What a mess...

You are absolutely correct.

I’m holding out by a thread of hope, that any minute now, Trump has some sort of poker hand he throws down and blows this all away. As each minute passes, it appears not to be the case...

When the left realizes just how empowered they’ve become from this? Damn...

They must have had a Plan B, however.
