It’s a rather straight forward issue.
The 9th either smacks down Robart, or the Supreme Court will 8-0.
You are right. The SCOTUS has already ruled decisively on this issue in the past So I cannot believe the 9th will not overturn the Seattle judge.

Do not rely on Roberts (the contortionist jurist), The Wise Latina, Kagan, or Ginsberg to follow the law.
That's my opinion on the matter. There's no way the Democrats on the USSC will choose this hill to die on, which would immediately create a severe Constitutional crisis that would drive the country towards civil war.
It's just not possible that the USSC could be as blatantly political as the 9th circus.
If the 9th Circus acts like a bunch of politicized children, the SCOTUS will have no choice but to be the adults in the room, and rule (hopefully unanimously) in favor of upholding the President's EO.
There's simply no way that the USSC can legitimately decide that Congress and the President (via the U.S. Code, Constitution, and precedent) suddenly don't have the power to control the national borders of the country.
To reiterate: overturning this EO would be an insane decision that would flout the rule of law and legal precedent, create a Constitutional crisis, and steer the nation straight towards civil war. And appropriately so.
I simply can't imagine even the Democrat party being so foolish with the stability of this Republic. I mean, some day in the distant future, there's going to be a Democrat in the White House, and that person is going to want to exercise their legitimate Constitutional powers with respect to immigration law and policy.
Elections have consequences, and the Federal Judiciary doesn't get to arbitrarily abandon Constitutional principles simply because they don't like who the Poeple elected.
I honestly don't see how any thinking person could conclude that the President and Congress don't have the power to enforce which aliens cross our national borders. It borders on hysteria...
