I dislike Trump. But more than seeing him lose, I want to see justice prevail. If it's within his power to do this, so be it. But if it isn't, I hope this binds the rest of us together to deliver a significant defeat to him. It's great to see our justice system work together to challenge this order.

Would be funny if his first major act as president was the one that got him impeached...but then we'd have to deal w/ Pence...I'd rather grab popcorn and watch it all burn to the ground than have Bush era republicans...at least this is funner to watch.

As someone who has to live with the consequences, I'd rather not watch it all burn to the ground, thanks.

If the choice is Pence or Trump, well, I know little about Pence. But I know enough about Trump that I'd take Pence...

Have you been asleep this past week?

The courts already ruled to put a stop to this executive order. Who do you think is supposed to enforce the ruling of the courts?

> The courts already ruled to put a stop to this executive order

The courts have partially stopped this EO.

> The judge’s ruling blocked part of the president’s actions, preventing the government from deporting some arrivals who found themselves ensnared by the presidential order. But it stopped short of letting them into the country or issuing a broader ruling on the constitutionality of Mr. Trump’s actions.

Actually kind of! Been traveling a lot this last week and working odd hours. But what's probably a bigger factor is that I don't know how these things work. You make it sound simple, which confuses me because the issue isn't resolved yet.

And I don't know the answer to your question.

Federal Government is defying court orders.

Executive branch defying the judicial is probably a bit more accurate. They're both the federal government.
