BREAKING: Appeals court denies Trump administration request to reinstate ban

[PeteB]

Not unexpected but will certainly be "unexpected" for Trump. He just has not had to deal with opposition to his orders like this for years (probably since his father's days).

Let's see his real executive capacity now. If he gets bogged down on this issue, his agenda is dead. Right now, he is still on his honeymoon and it won't be long before he gets some very serious opposition in Congress.

If I was advising him (God forbid), I would tell him to quietly abandon the travel ban and focus on a popular measure with his base instead (like Trade or Obamacare reform). But so far, his ego has ruled his head.

As I said numerous times, Trump is just plain incompetent. How on earth he made it in the real estate world is beyond me.

This is the time for a smart POTUS to put his electoral capital into repealing Obamacare or into creating a new trade accord, not to scr.w around with the judiciary.

His ego will be his undoing. I am now predicting impeachment by late 2017 or early 2018.
