"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."

Well there you have it. Constitution specifically assigns powers to regulate immigration to CONGRESS but the Senate majority leader admits that the Judicial branch is superior to the Legislative branch and he has to follow it's "orders" even if unconstitutional.

Here's my prediction for this week:

1. Trump issues a new EO overriding his last one that accomplishes the same thing as the first one.

2. Trump withdraws the appeal to the 9th Circuit, on the grounds that the EO in dispute is no longer in effect anyway.

3. Judge Robart realizes he may spend the rest of his life ruling on tens of thousands of challenges to Trump EOs that are brought in his court, and announces he's turning in his bow tie and retiring to Nepal.

4. George Will publicly thanks Trump for finding a simpering sh!tbag who makes Will look more masculine than John Wayne.
