Why are they wasting their time with this?

Because the Judiciary has over-stepped its constitutional boundaries and left unchallenged, a dangerous legal precedent is being set where the Courts (with ZERO National Intelligence Role or briefings) determine foreign policy, rather than the Executive Branch -- which DOES have the Constitutional responsibility of.

It's time to smack down the over-reaching judicial system. Long over due. Go Trump!

Good analysis. This has become a much bigger issue than a temporary pause in travel from these specified countries. The court made it a separation of powers issue and if the president rewrites his EO, he is accepting the court assertion of authority in this vital area. The purpose of the original EO has been made largely moot at this point but the issue of basic authority must be settled. From a practical standpoint, the president will ultimately win if for no other reason than he is the only entity with an enforcement structure. The framers of the constitution were much wiser than many give them credit for.

Judge Napolitano would totally disagree. He says re-write is his best option.

Yes. I agree with your assessment.
