From a (very) quick scan of the document it seems to me that a new executive order skirting the possibly legitimate objections would have a much better chance of success in front of The Supremes.
- mschuster91 10y agoThat might be possible, but I still have a spark of hope that what Trump did - basically "burning" the idea of a muslim ban by having it rejected by the courts - is just him trying to get rid of a campaign promise that cannot be fulfilled without violating the constitution. He now can simply claim "I did all I could, the nasty courts stopped me though" when someone tries to hold him accountable. Same for that wall idea. Mexico won't pay a dime for it, and it's going to cost a boatload of money that has to be allocated by Congress first. So, the wall won't be built as there's no money, and Trump can claim "nasty Congress stopped me".
