Appeals Court makes right choice, what next?

Court Refuses to Reinstate Travel Ban, Dealing Trump Another Legal Loss



No doubt headed for SCOTUS. My question is: How will Roberts vote?

    1. Roberts is unpredictable, unlike other's like Thomas.

  2. Even if it goes to SCOTUS and they uphold the restraining order on the ban, do you really think Trump will finally say "fine!" and slink off to do something else. He does not take losing well, or winning, for that matter.

    1. Actually Robbie, that's my hope. I hope he says "This doesn't apply to me, I'm the president! The law does not apply to me!" Oh how I wish that......

  3. It is possible the Supremes could split 4-4 which then leaves the appeals court decision in place. These are incredibly interesting times.

    1. Yeah, and I dont' think the Dems will let him push his nominee through faster.

  4. interesting question and I'm sure we'll find out! After years of avoiding reality TV shows, I now find myself (along with the rest of the country) living one.

  5. Trump said today he's working on the ban and will have something next week. Some people are saying he could just rewrite the executive order to correct some of the errors but then he'd have to admit he was wrong the first time and you know how he loves to admit he was wrong, don't you?

    1. I don't think it's -going to be as simple as a re-write...he's pissed the judicial branch, appointed by both parties. I think we have an interesting couple weeks ahead.

  6. It is very difficult to even keep up with this stuff from day to day. Always something new to talk about.
