I would actually be surprised if the Supreme Court agreed to hear it, if he appeals right now.

My Evidence Professor used to laugh about that one.

Does he need all this humiliation and aggravation? Why not just fire off a few tweets and be done with it?

Yes, one of the three justices was a woman. And I read on Huff Post that the opinion was issued by the panel, instead of identifying an author.

See you in court
You already are in court, you fucking clusterfuck of a fiasco of two debacles of a malheur.

Iâm asking because both he n Trump subscribe to the same theory about refugees.

Man. The numbnuts actually went to the Ninth Circuit and argued that the action was absolutely unreviewable, even for Constitutional infirmity, under the separation of powers doctrine. Itâs like they sat down and said âwhatâs the one ridiculous, legally unsupported argument we can make on the most tendentious possible interpretation of the case law best calculated to piss the judges off and get them to slap us down hard? Ohhhh, I know! letâs claim Trump has the right to rule by decree free of judicial oversight!â
I honestly canât tell whether this was a matter of following stupid orders from the client, a sub rosa attempt at self-sabotage or just the worldâs dumbest hail mary.

Itâs Trumpâs Razor and we keep forgetting - he will always do the stupidest possible thing in every situation.

Now Dems need to slow-walk Gorsuch while the suit is fast-tracked to SCOTUS for (at least) a 4-4 decision. Good times.
Hmm. This will be a great opportunity for Sessions to show off his legal prowess in front of the Justices. Heck, maybe heâll wear a robe, too! Hell, maybe heâll go whole hog and wear one with not only a âMystic Insignia of a Klansmanâ but sporting some smart stripes on his sleeves ala a certain Gilbert-and-Sullivan-loving formerly sentient Chief Justice.

Bannon will get his say via Trump.
I want a Pence answer, because both he n Trump often contradict each other.

This sounds like he thinks he will bring suit with the court as defendant. Funny guy.
-edit- My statement above did not make sense. I said plaintiff when I meant defendant. Fixed.

And in the stupidest possible way at the stupidest possible time.
They actually insisted on appealing from the TRO rather than having the full PI hearing first. Which, in turn, required them to argue that the TRO effectively was a PI in order for their appellate jurisdiction. Which means, on remand, they likely donât have a right to a PI hearing.
This reeks of the Fuhrer telling the generals how to do their job, forbidding even tactical retreats to better ground, insisting that every list inch of ground must be died for from the safety of the Wolfâs Lair bunkers. I canât believe the number of DoJ careerists listed on that brief came up with this on their own, of their own volition. Unless they were perfectly happy to ordered to do a thing that would lose it, of course.

Thatâs why I almost felt sorry for the DOJ lawyer in oral argument who got caught in that trap that the government laid in the argument and knew it. She was asked if the governmentâs position was that the presidentâs EO couldnât be reviewed by anyone meaning the president had absolute power she paused a long time before she had to answer âyes.â

All caps? Really?
At this point, I expect he will be reduced to using terms like âlibtardâ within a month.
