Great idea. Then let me ask. Why in the hell has President Trump NOT done it? If this is a solution and he is such a stupendous deal maker with great ideas why has he not stopped the 10,000 current eligible VISA holders in these 7 countries from coming with this order yawl talk about. Sounds simple and a great way to protect the people of America which President Trump has vowed to do.
Tell you what my suspicions are. Another deal has been struck. A deal about confirmation of appointees. If President Trump does not put up a good fight against this political hack judge, his confirmations will slide right through. So far since Friday, 5 confirmations have succeeded with Sessions being the biggest.
Awww the wheels of Washington and knowing how to play the game. You do not have to be a politician, you just need to know how to make deals
My guess is this is his reserve option. I think he believes he will win in court, and he knows that if he does this without going through the current process, the left wing media will set up a caterwaul about him ignoring the rule of law, being a dictator, yada yada yada...
I think if it comes down to it, he will exercise this option, but I think he's going to play it out in the courts first. If the Supreme Court shoots him down, then he will probably exercise this nuclear option.

Could be, but the "deal makers" are probably Republicans. The Democrats will drag their feet no matter what. You are probably right. It is probably our own congressmen imploring him not to push hard on this.
So he gets what he wants in the way of confirmations, and *THEN* he drops the hammer in the foreign embassies!
Win. Win. Consummate Trump.
