White House hints at NEW travel ban order to dodge court battle - as Trump blasts 'disgraceful' ruling upholding freeze on his current one
A federal appeals court in San Francisco released its ruling tonight on President Donald Trump's controversial travel ban - saying it would not reinstate it
Trump responded by taking to Twitter and writing in all caps: 'SEE YOU IN COURT, THE SECURITY OF OUR NATION IS AT STAKE!'
He also called the ruling 'disgraceful'
The president also told reporters in the West Wing Thursday night that the ruling was a 'political decision' Now the White House is also saying that rewriting the order isn't 'off the table'
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals decided it would not block a lower-court ruling that suspended the ban Last week, a Seattle-based judge issued a temporary restraining order halting the ban after Washington state and Minnesota sued the U.S. government
Hillary Clinton chimed in with a tweet trolling the president, simply writing '3-0'
The White House is floating a new way to counter a stunning appeals court ruling that set back President Trump's immigration order redrafting the order in a way that could take effect immediately and be more resistant to legal challenge.
President Trump signaled an unmistakable instinct to fight for his original order Thursday night when bluntly told opponents: 'See you in court!' after criticizing judges who stood in his path.
But now, the White House is also laying out an alternative path. Asked if the president was considering signing a new executive order on immigration, a White House official told CNN, '"Nothing's off the table."

The law is clearly in President Trump’s favor here. I’m not even sure why he needs to produce an EO anyway. The law is specific allowing the President to act as he sees fit and it is codified law. All he really needs to do is issue specific executive guidance to his appropriate cabinet officers (DHS and State) to execute his guidance on immigration control.
Hillary dyslectic? Who Knew, and bad at math, she's 0-2 at Presidential runs.
9th Circuit has laid down the marker. No matter what a rewritten order may say, the judges will come up with the same result. This isn’t about the law, but about politics.
I can picture him reinstating the ban in several ways to keep the flow down until the law and constitution are used as a reason for a ruling instead of some liberal’s kumbaya opinion.
Great idea.
Trump's second order doesn't discriminate; he could put in the handful of exclusion for worker VISAs and permanent residents. If he retracts the order entirely, and does not indicate a relationship to a second order, the District court is powerless to act and would have to dismiss.
BINGO: Trump ordering a complete halt to ALL immigration is an entirely different measure; it would not be subject to a judicial attack of discrimination.
An EO banning CNN from All Government Buildings
That will work for new visa applications, but the problem is that Obama's State Dept. probably issued a zillion visas in the last months to anyone and everyone over there. It's a little harder to to deal with the visas that were already "approved".

>> “Hillary Clinton chimed in...” <<
Somebody should ask Hitlery why she isn’t traveling to soothe her but hurt.

My understanding of an (American issued) Visa is it allows an individual to travel from another country to America but it does not automatically guarantee entry.

Actually, no the visas can be cancelled as an addendum to their passport in the digital system.
No problem.
Alan Dershowitz said this morning on Fox Business, all the Trump team had to do was issue another one.
Yeah, the world. They basically have said, folks in other countries, including those that are being vetted, have U.S. Constitutional rights!
Check out # 27.
Thanks, Liz.
Add North Korea to the list of 7 Muslim countries.
No longer a “muslim ban” by definition.
A new EO should keep the requirement for entry/exit visa tracking (as the old EO did), something Jeff Sessions has not been able to get from Bush or Obama.
I actually think the statement in the old EO that the it was not reviewable was wrong. If EOs were not subject to review we would still be stuck with Obama’s immigration EO.
WIDEN THE SCOPE and durataion of the socalled ban on terroristas invading USA
and shut down their front groups and apologists and defenders like CAIR and Muslim Students Association and Muslim Brotherhood and all the mosques that preach and organize anti=American, Anti-Christian, and anti_Jewish Violence and intimidation
and shut down their dam**ed funding too!...

“9th Circuit has laid down the marker. No matter what a rewritten order may say, the judges will come up with the same result. This isnt about the law, but about politics.”
I agree that it is politics but Trump must separate residents from foreigners in the EO. If challenged he must win in court to sanctify the presidents power on immigration.
