Even good decisions can be ill timed and executed. He should never have done this without Sessions in place and more political planning. The choice now is to fight in court and likely lose multiple times (but be on the right side of the argument) or back up and punt in some way.

Trump should not rescind the order, but rather slow walk this case to the Supreme Court once Gorsuch is there. Trump is risking permanently weakening Presidential plenary powers if he goes forward quickly now because he will likely lose.

He is effectively trapped now, there really are no good options except wait it out for a more favorable USSC. The upside is I would prefer they use the nuclear option now for Gorsuch so we can use it again later, and this case in the mix with the USSC might force some dems to vote against him, withholding 60.

This has been the RINO mantra on Twitter by Shapiro, Guy Benson, and others, that Trump “rushed” this.

Well, no. The fact is, once word starts leaking the other side mobilizes the entire bureaucracy and even RINO legislators and then it doesn’t happen at all. I’m convinced if he had waited for Sessions, it never even would have been issued.

Yet-and-meanwhile, certain foreign individuals are being allowed in the US that are determined to cause harm to legitimate US citizens and to our Republic. That, simply, cannot be justified by the courts with a charge of TREASON.
