The Presidency of Donald J. Trump: No smocking guns. - Page 297 - Politics and Economics

Turned to foxnews and Krauthammer says they should not pursue it further that way they can blame the court if anything (terrorism) happens. The levels to which the right are not only willing, but eager to stoop to are astonishing.

They know who their audience is, that's been clear for years.

Technically, it was on a conference call.

Tomorrow morning we will probably get the full Trump Twitter tirade or late tonight. His next speech in front of x agency or military or whatever will be hilarious.

Isn't this ban supposed to be only for 6 months?

Are we sure that Trump would get more than 2 votes on the SC? This thing looking kinda dead at the moment.

It's a perma ban. They lied.

(heard it actually was, even if not, it'll be a perma anyway, they're not screwing around here)

He doesn't. He prefaced those comments with "as a matter of cynical politics."

Honestly, the sad thing is that they can just rewrite the ban with actual legal advice so it is probably valid and achieves the same effect. Trump has too much pride to do this, of course.

This country has turned entirely politically based on everything. These judges all violated the law and ruled based on things Guiliani or Trump said. I can't see any of the Conservative judges on the SC swinging on this at all.

If you expect republicans to do anything, you're gonna have a bad time, trump is still massively supported by their base.

If he doesn't get it, he'll do exactly what he's saying he'll do. He'll wait for the next big terrorist attack, blame the courts, and then circumvent the courts after that "as a matter of national security."

Yeah 4-4 seems ludicrous. Judges may be partisan but they are still judges. It's an idiotic order written in an idiotic manner, I doubt it gets more than 2 SC votes.

I've yet to hear one legal analyst on CNN Foxnews or any other news network say they don't expect the Supreme Court to overturn this
