I think he probably could, but that would be an open invitation to an impeachment and he knows it. Trump is a lot more intelligent than his detractors give him credit for.
I think he made the right call by going along with it, and by the time the supreme court sees it his appointee will be in place, and it will be thrown out.
In the meantime it will be tricky, but he can go ahead with improving the vetting process, which I’m sure is already underway. This is a setback, but not a major roadblock.
As someone already noted, what he did is completely within his authority, someone even posted the appropriate clause. It says he can shut down ALL immigration as he sees fit according to national security concerns.
The only drawback to this is I’m sure a number of people who do not have our best interest in mind are on their way here right now. Anyone who does not believe this only has to look at Germany, Belgium and France.
Personally, I think he should have shut down ALL immigration until they have a handle on how to find out who is coming here, where they really come from and why they want to be here.
You assume Gorsuch will vote with the conservatives and the Rule of Law. Judging from Gorsuch’s performance at the Blumenthal interview i’m not so sure.
If McConnell doesn’t blast Gorsuch through pronto, he’ll be exposed yet again for the sellout fraud that he is.
I don’t think the democrats will allow Gorsuch vote before the case goes to SCOTUS.
ISIS is already here. It’s simply beyond comprehension that they wouldn’t have taken the initiative under Barack’s reign. Trump’s election would have sped up their operations tremendously if it even needed it.
The same advice the GOP loser elite have been offering for decades.
Let Trump fight, his voters love it.
