Trump administration won’t appeal ruling against immigration order to the Supreme Court

The Trump administration can wage a legal battle in the lower courts to address more squarely whether the president's immigration directive violates the Constitution. The White House is also mulling whether to rewrite the executive order. No matter what, the administration faces a difficult fight to restore the ban.

This is a developing story. It will be updated.

I see the 9th is asking for more briefs?

That is the right call, why risk executive authority over immigration and national security at least until Gorsuch is in place.

Just reissue an order. Per Dershowitz this morning.

Raise the ante. Expand the scope and duration.

Do it every time till they give up or lash out.

Then deal with them.

He was just on Charles Payne at 6 pm with his pretty wife on air force 1. He mentioned another EO may be on the table but would not give any more info. I love this president and his wife even more !!

Rescind the old and it is moot. A new order must be sued and taken to court.

Smart move...wait until SC is confirmed...then..BOOM!! Hit them between the eyeballs!!

The despicable article repeats that wanting to protect religious minorities is discriminatory. Christians must die. Muslims must rule.

Full title of article:

Trump administration won’t appeal ruling against immigration order to the Supreme Court, says senior White House official

As the English say, "So, there it is then."

The speculation was that Trump knew the best he could hope for was a 5-4 decision, and for that he needed either Breyer or Kagan - and that was a bad plan.

Trump already said the Justice Dept lawyers are preparing "something new" on Monday.

The only thing we are guaranteed is that the media, the Democrats, the Communists, the law breakers, the Muslim terrorists, the UN, the EU, and the illegal invaders won't like it.

Trump may have also realized that he was playing the court's game, not his.

Alan Dershowitz advised issuing a new Executive Order, and that seems to be exactly what Trump will do.

Has Hillary tweeted her trademark cackle yet?

Just reissue an order. Per Dershowitz this morning.

Exactly. That seems to be what Trump is going to do.

“Raise the ante. Expand the scope and duration.

It’s like an old school 19th century battle.

Perhaps a good litmus test for judges should be reading comprehension.

[euram]

Since one court already ruled in favor of the EO, why can’t Trump just ignore the obviously politically motivated edict of the 9th Circus Court of Appeals?

[dila813]

why doesn’t he cancel it and keep reissuing it as a new exec order, won’t they have to endless refile?

Can he do this twice a day?

We need a 911 attack to remind us. How soon we forget.
