Why? Did one of them find a copy of the US Code lying around and decide to read it?
These idiots must know they can"t appeal their own decision
No way they will reverse themselves. Too arrogant, too blinded by Trump hatred, unable to admit they were wrong. As usual they are doubling down- justifying this turd sandwich and trying to find a creative way to make it bulletproof against Trump EOs etc. As usual it will backfire and ultimately be a win for Trump. Wait and see. Before Trump it would have worked. They expect Trump to bend over but he is smarter and a fighter. They never learn.
That or something from one of the other branches scared them.
They are pretty used to being overturned.
