The Trump administration is not currently planning to appeal a temporary hold on his travel ban to the Supreme Court, a White House official said Friday.

But the White House said it will forge ahead on the broader battle against a lawsuit challenging the executive order.


The administration plans to continue its defense of the order on the merits, which is playing out in a Seattle-based federal district court, the official said.

1. Today. Who knows what he'll want to do tomorrow, or Sunday, or Monday.

2. Right?

This WH is mentally exhausting.

[George II]

18. See what I mean? Now it's "won't immediately appeal"! Don't go to bed until the next version.

13. Or tonight he might suck up to Japan so much

He will try blowfish sushi and die of poisoning ...

3. i think i read it here

4. He'll just issue a new one next week. Intimated as much today

8. I posted an article about that earlier

Problem with that is it won't negate the damage done by the previous EO.

6. Probably will just try to issue a new one with different wording and keep on doing it in

an effort to avoid having the case go before SCOTUS before his guy gets into the spot, once he is in they will probably let it proceed as he will gamble that SCOTUS will side with him.

7. I was thinking the same thing n/t

[herding cats]

11. Yes, that's what is being said.

But I'm not sure they can write something that'll accomplish the end goals of this one, and not again face legal challenges.

9. He and bannon really hate Muslims.

It was a steady rally cry on the trail. He is regrouping and will come up with something just as unconstitutional.

We will witness a feckless executive branch in action.

[canetoad]

10. Why?

Because he'd have to commit Seppuku if he lost again?

[SeattleVet]

12. I don't think so...

he'd probably find a way to fuck that up, too.

[Cha]

14. So "see you in court" was just a bully taunt from a stupid person

Thanks herding

[dchill]

16. In a word, yes.

[Still Sensible]

15. He will just run out the 90-day clock on this one

and then put something similar out there when he gets his 5-4 Supreme Court majority... which may or may not work.

[JTFrog]

19. Or is he?

Bannon can't seem to make up Trump's mind.

20. I think he is afraid of another loss by "so-called judges".

If he was sure that he would win this case, he'd be appealing in a heart beat.
