Federal Judge James Robart overturning this Executive Order is the first substantial challenge to President Trump. There will be many more, but this is the first.

A view of it from my perspective:

The language of the law is quite clear. The President can decide who, if anyone, is allowed to immigrate. Period. However, the left has never been a fan of the Rule of Law.
I read that the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals delayed the Emergency Stay, intended to counter the Judge James Robart's order, with an eye towards a ruling Monday or Tuesday. This is the 9th Circuit, so I expect them to uphold the Judge Robart's ruling.
This will, then, get appealed to SCOTUS. If it is slow-walked, we might be able to get Gorsuch appointed by then. The buzz is he will make it in by April or May. Otherwise, we get a 4-4 split Scotus decision -- unless Kennedy breaks to the side of the Rule of Law. He has before, he may again.
Even if this becomes a SCOTUS split-decision, where the lower court ruling stands, it is only a temporary glitch. A split SCOTUS decision will only postpone the inevitable, the language of the law is quite clear. Since SCOTUS will have rendered no decision, the case can be brought again (perhaps through the venue of the Federal Judge who agreed that President Trump can actually do Presidential duties), and this ‘push’ will be rectified when we get Gorsuch (April to May of this year).
This is where Obama and Trump differ. Let us say the roles were reversed, and Obama wanted this Executive Order to be carried out. Obama would purposefully pack the crew being imported with hardcore terrorists (and maybe even equip them and instruct them to act immediately) to show how right he was. He'd gladly let America take a few shots to get his way (eventually). Trump won't.
Trump could take some strong actions, such as banning ALL immigration, but I feel that would be very bad optics. If I'm him, I let it play out. We win in the end.

I thought the same thing Laz. Yes, it would probably be a mistake. The MSM would pummel him, Spicer, Kelly Ann, and we would not be able to fire our salvos effectively.

If, however (and God forbid) there is a major terrorist attack on this nation.....then I think Trump will act very decisively, courts be damned.

I had a dream a few weeks back that there was an attack on a large group of people gathered in one place, with many deaths. I usually don't remember my dreams, but I remembered that one.

So the refugees come in un-vetted by the plane loads until April or May? Not to mention the ones coming through our borders. So trump signed an ExO that is not going to have a real effect? Or it might in May? Sounds like this entire thing was for show. Moving on. Just goes to show you that we the people do not matter one single bit. So what will trump do? Let’s see.. I am assuming his Trillion dollar infrastructure spending will be ok, even with Japan telling him what to build.
