The 9th Circuit’s decision to allow this process to go forward puts us directly on the path to a Constitutional crisis. The Executive branch will most probably directly appeal the decision to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court will then most likely split on any decision. The consequence of this is anyone’s bet.
Trump being reasonable our last hope?
Apparently our last hope is that the Administration will not “bully up” and go straight to the Supremes but rather give the trial judge an opportunity to remedy his previous decision. (The simple fix is narrow it to only apply to those individuals on US soil.)
Going back to the trial court will take time, and creates the impression of giving a last chance to the trial judge. During this time they will go nuclear in the Senate to get the Supreme Court seat filled. If the trial judge doesn’t rule correctly, they then appeal any decision directly to the Supremes who give Trump his victory.
It’s a strange world when we need to rely on Donald Trump to be a good strategist in order to avoid a Constitutional crisis.
