Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said President Donald Trump isn't likely to get his travel ban implemented by Congress if courts strike it down.
"I don't know that that's necessary," McConnell told CNN's Jake Tapper on "State of the Union" Sunday. "I mean, the courts are going to decide whether the executive order the President issued is valid or not, and we all follow court orders."
McConnell's comments come after a federal judge put a pause on Trump's order that barred citizens of seven Muslim-majority countries -- Iraq, Syria, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen -- from entering the US for 90 days, all refugees for 120 days and indefinitely halts refugees from Syria.
Trump lashed out at the "so-called judge," tweeting Saturday: "The opinion of this so-called judge, which essentially takes law-enforcement away from our country, is ridiculous and will be overturned!"

Mitch, you are out of touch.
The turtle speaks from inside his shell. McConnell will never be cited for his courage.
So McConnell now thinks we have no right to decide who enters our country.
Breathtaking.
So Mitch...Invasion is a civil right?
These damned weak RINOs in Congress are going to be a huge pain for years to come!! McConnell should be doing everything possible to support Pres. Trump’s important initiatives - instead, he undermines him.
So let’s just leave it up to the federal judiciary to establish and implement immigration policy. Brilliant.
Is this all he does? Tell us what he wont do?
Does he have any plan at all?
We already anticipated this. The subject was discussed at length on FR even before the election. Our Congress is an obstacle as each and every one of them are merely in DC for career advancement post politics. Whores and pimps, they are.
McConnell would have allowed Nazis entry during WW2.
Treasonous.
Look at the history of the Judge and you'll realize that "someone" got to him.
Jam his phone lines. Demand action and don’t go quietly into the night...
He sure had no problem kissing up to Obama, did ya Mitch? Gave him, and the Democrats, practically everything they wanted. Now that a real leader is in charge, they all of a sudden get brave and want to contest leadership. They knew the Democrats would kick their behind. We need new leadership in the House and Senate before they get us all killed.
What a light-in-the-loafers quisling and capon.
Mitch the B!+c# hasn't changed, and he needs to be removed from any position of leadership, right now.
Something is going to need to be done.
It isnt enough to make turtle jokes and scream treason at the computer.
This isn’t a spectator’s show where we all get to kick back and relax because of last November.
the crux of the judges ruling on the EO is based on it not being equally applied.
another freeper suggested Pres. Trump remove the EO and creat a new one that stops all immigration.
I can live with that.
Mitch will sabotage SCOTUS too.
You think they are going to let Trump do anything?
He’s not out of touch.
He also doesnt have to worry about re-election.
He is intensely connected with Wall Street interests through his wifes sisters who are all married into big shots there - he is married to Elaine Chao, and was bailed out by her billionaire tycoon father when he got into financial trouble.
Follow the money, he is part of the interconnected system.
President Trump should write a new EO stopping ALL immigration for 180 days.
