Unfortunately it’s upon us today. If POTUS CiC feels the 7 states are a natl security threat it’s dereliction of duty to obey the 9ths order from today, a high crime. If he defies the order, Unheard of brass, he’ll face calls for impeachment. It’s a bad box.

Get new guy on court in the next couple days, appeal to Supreme Court as super-urgent.

Seems like there are a few options for the President:

1. Roll the dice and send it to USSC as currently constituted. If the SCOTUS decides to blatantly ignore the law and the Constitution, they will be the ones who have created the Constitutional crisis, and we should then prepare for a formal civil war.
2. Get Gorsuch confirmed as quick as humanly possible, using the nuclear option, and then appeal to SCOTUS, in hopes of increasing the odds of a court victory.
3. Disregard the 9th circuit's ruling without appealing, and face the storm. Again, prepare for civil war at some point.
4. Accept the 9th's ruling without appealing, thereby allowing the judiciary to run completely roughshod over the Constitution, in which case the President will have abrogated his duty to uphold the Constitution. Ultimately, this, too, will lead to civil war.

If Gorsuch can't be confirmed quickly, using the nuclear option, the appeal should go to the SCOTUS immediately.

If the President takes his duty to uphold the Constitution seriously, he cannot delay.

MAKE NO MISTAKE: This is already a Constitutional crisis, created by the utterly lawless actions of judges who believe that they are above the law and the Constitution. These judges should be impeached.

I can think of no better person to be in the Oval Office for such a crisis. If SCOTUS fails to uphold the President's lawful EO, civil war is virtually guaranteed, sooner or later.

The only scenario which avoids civil war, IMHO, is for SCOTUS to uphold this EO. If the liberal members of the court would rather play politics with the lives of the American People than uphold the Constitution, then the time for civil war has already arrived.

I don't think that issuing additional immigration-related EO's makes any sense in this environment. We are already in a Constitutional crisis. The only question is whether the USSC is going to bail us out of it, or instead add fuel to the fire.

So my opinion is that this ruling should be appealed to SCOTUS immediately, and let the chips fall where they may.

This is some amazing lawlessness on the part of the judiciary, and, one way or another, it will not stand.

It's now up to the USSC to save this country from civil war...
