If a president defied a court order, it would lead to contempt of court charges, impeachment, and a full-blown Constitutional crisis. If you think Congressional Republicans will back Trump against a federal court, you’re badly mistaken. Trump will deal with it intelligently, by writing a new EO that will stand up to legal challenge, and he’ll continue to pursue an appeal on the original EO (the ruling by the 9th was nonsense). He will not break the law.
I am a little more that skeptical of their motives here myself, but I doubt they would risk it. In any case The President can pardon himself unless we have forgotten all that cr@p that was bandied about with Obama.
He will not break the law.
Why do you think he would be breaking the law? The Judge is the one that broke the law, him and his fellow travelers.
Maybe you would be happier if he just ceased all entries, which he is empowered to do and let them gripe about that.
William Bennett Said it best. He can't win this in the court the court is the problem. He needs to have a different strategy than Jeb did when he let that senile old family court judge kill Terry Schiavo while he just threw his hands up and declared, the court had ruled.
