The San Francisco-based 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals and the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond, Virginia, will be holding arguments on the legality of the ban this week.

Given that the Supreme Court just made a ruling, these cases should be dropped about 2 minutes after court convenes.

Actually, given the Courts ruling against Arizona a few years ago that says foreign policy is made by the feds, these cases should've been dismissed long ago.

It’s an interesting situation. SCOTUS has already signaled that it thinks the government has a strong enough case that the lower court’s ruling should be put on hold, which probably leaves us stuck between judicial ideology and the judges’ customary dislike of being reversed. I think they’ll apply a more stringent standard than they would have otherwise. It’s up to the Feds to make an argument they can hang their hats on without losing their invitation to the ACLU holiday party.
