We still don’t know the Trump administration’s planned course of action regarding the 9th Circuit’s unanimous ruling Thursday. While Trump was quick to respond…
SEE YOU IN COURT, THE SECURITY OF OUR NATION IS AT STAKE!

…many are wondering if that’s the best move. Should the Trump administration take this to the Supreme Court? Even if it did, wouldn’t that take longer than the extent of the travel ban? And isn’t it likely they’d rule 4-4, allowing the lower court’s ruling to stand?
I heard another interesting theory today: The Trump administration will simply draft a new executive order. Trump dropped a hint today during a joint press conference with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.
“We’ll be doing something very rapidly having to do with additional security for our country,” Trump said. “You’ll be seeing that some time next week.”

They’ll be doing “something” very rapidly. I wonder what that “something” will be. Stay tuned!
