I explained it earlier but happy to explain it again for you.
Trump backtracked from his campaign statements to temporarily ban all muslims from entering the US and changed it to banning travel from seven countries (the current EO). The leftists know his original intent and regardless of what the EO says they will demagogue it to death. The leftist judges will rule not based on the EO wording or any rationality but use his earlier statements on the campaign trail as justification in their mind to oppose him.
The only solution now is get the new SC justice in place and get a correct ruling on the EO. Right now the 9th will rule against him and the 4-4 Supremes will not be able to overule the 9th.
I getcha.
No matter how inartful Trump's original statement about temporarily banning travel from Muslim countries was, the left was going to oppose him on this, no matter what. Even in the face of bloody Islamic terror attacks - such is their devotion to their quasi religious liberal views.
As you said, there's no winning this through the courts, as currently constituted, which is why I knew it was a strategic error for him to take it in this direction in the first place.
The President has statute law, historical precedent, and the Constitution on his side. He didn't need to do anything but send a strongly worded message to this judge through the DOJ, that the restraining order was illegal, and that it would be ignored.
Instead, he's now made the office of President subservient to a lowly federal judge.
I could scream.
