Well, to start with, judges are people. If you attack them, they subconsciously, will hold it against you. So please have some respect for other branches of government Mr. President.
What Happens Now?
So the three judges panel upheld the lower court’s ruling banning the ban. The court ruled that the Plaintiffs have an interest in allowing travelers in. The court balanced the national security interest and the potential harm to the Paintiffs and ruled that the harm outweighs the national security interest.
What Happens Now?
The Administration now has two options: ask for a full review by the Ninth Circuit or appeal to the Supreme Court. The two options are very tricky. The first one might be the better option however, since we still have eight justices on the higher court. The 4-4 decision threat might lead to a delay on the administration’s behalf until their nominee is confirmed.
What should the Administration do?
I believe that the best course of action is for the Administration to withdraw the order. I doubt that’ll ever happen, however. I think the President’s statement during the campaign and the fact that the order discriminates against Muslim refugees taint the order and make it unconstitutional.
I don’t think that the battle over this is over by any means. The President just sent out a tweet saying “See You in Court”. To read the decision, click here.
