#1 This ruling is an outlier. 2 very liberal judges have already help most of the EO to be lawful, which it is. The problem is that activists are very good at selecting the right judge to get a TRO, even though you aren't supposed to be able to. I suspect that even the left wing 9th Circus will overturn.

Looking at the larger picture, 3 Supreme Court justices are getting on in years: Ginsburg = 83, Kennedy = 80 and Breyer is 78. Should Trump win a second term, he has a pretty good shot at replacing all three. Thomas (68) might even decide to retire during a Trump presidency.

Assuming a second term, and that Trump continues to do the right thing in his appointments, many of us on this board could live the rest of our lives knowing nothing but a conservative court.

#2 Saw a pic of the judge at another site; the fluorescent green bowtie he wears as he sits on the bench should tell you all you need to know about this guy.
