Still smarting from a federal appeals court's refusal to reinstate President Trump's controversial ban of nationals from seven predominantly Muslim nations, White House lawyers are working on a rewrite of his executive order that could pass legal muster, NBC News has learned.
The work began several days before the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals shot down the White House's bid to lift a temporary restraining order on Trump's plan to bar nationals from Iran, Sudan, Libya, Somalia, Syria, Iraq and Yemen from entering the country for 90 days, a senior administration official told NBC.
Trump's legal team still believes it will be eventually proven correct on the merits of the current executive order, the official said. And they are looking into several options, including continuing the court battle and or signing a new immigration EO "very soon."
Several sources close to President Trump told MSNBC's Joe Scarborough that White House lawyers and working on language for the executive order that would be able to find favor with the federal courts.

Stick it to the unlawful 9th Court.
The 9th circus created a roadmap for the Trump admin!! Go President Trump!!!!
Maybe they need to write it at a 6th grade level-”See Spot run”...So Liberals can GET it.
Call me old-fashioned but with majorities on each side of Congress why aren’t they being enlisted to write an airtight law that obviates an EO?
I am beyond sick of the modern incarnation of the House and Senate as merely the Greek chorus for The Imperial Presidency and sick of seeing them on my TV. The Capitol rotunda is 100x busier than either chamber.
Could a pro Trump state AG take these new orders to a more conservative court to affirm?
Section (d) All applications for immigrant visas must be engraved on plates made of 99.999% pure titanium.
I would like all muzzies kept out of the country. This doesn’t go far enough.
It doesn’t matter what law is written when we have lawless courts.
They can do whatever they want for any reason they want without consequence.
And also, let’s be fair to the Republican congress.
They are a bunch scared, little weenies who can’t do anything other than pee their pants all day long.
That law exists. That’s why the court is so far out of line - they ignored the clear meaning of the law.
This must be what Trump’s press conference coming up is about.
I hope he nails it, because otherwise we’re well and truly....
He has the opportunity to absolutely kick the left in the nuts today, and show he means business. I hope he does that...
If he meanwhile talks about taking this to the SC, and the “process”, we may as well bring out muskets...
Trump shouild never appoint a Federal Judge that isn’t a known, dyed-in-the-wool, conservative. No more letting ‘Rat Senators have a hand in the selection. Watch out for GOPee Senators too.
Jay Sekulow was the brilliant mind behind this. I am becoming a fan. He impressed me a lot and I will watch what he has to say in the future. Here he is on Fox:

His third point about merging the incomplete EO with the Directive outlining exemptions and reissuing the EO for relitigation is I think brilliant legally, but I have not thought through yet the optics of it.
The 9th zeroed in on the incompleteness of the EO and ignored the Directive even though the Directive was included in the brief.
Both the EO and Directive cover everything. But the 9th ignored the Directive and attacked the EO.
That’s like reviewing a trial of a woman charged with violently wielding a gun while ignoring the fact that she was defending her young children from an attacker.
It’s like handing the IRS two statements of financials, one of income and the other of expenses, and the auditor reviews the income statement and ignores the expense statement. It’s better to have income and expenses on the same page.
So Sekulow brilliantly in my view lays out a simple plan to reissue the EO with the Directive exemptions merged into it and let Washington State refile its lawsuit on the new EO.
Sekulow goes on to say that the 9th may again do their notorious song and dance to support the ‘Ban-the-Ban’ but the new EO will ensure SCOTUS shoots it down without any valid argument to not shoot it down.
The 9th circus created a road map for the Trump admin!!

Excellent point
The congress will lick their finger every day. As soon as they think Trump is weak, they’ll stab him in the back.
Trump must be aggressive and charge forward, no excuses. He needs to be a LEADER.
We find out today.
Exempt green card holders and it should pass muster.
Bitch and PRyno are continuing to be derelict in their duties. The whole Congress is largely a buncha lazy bast@rds.
Its no wonder we have a majority of ignoramus's running around the country.
NBC will be disappointed when this so called "smarting" is short lived.
Whatever else, this precedent by the 9th must not be allowed to stand. It must not simply be circumvented, as if it were legitimate.
