A federal appeals court decided to keep in place the temporary restraining order halting President Trump's immigration ban as other proceedings move through the lower courts.
"We hold that the government has not shown a likelihood of success on the merits of its appeal, nor has it shown that failure to enter a stay would cause irreparable injury, and we therefore deny its emergency motion for a stay," the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Thursday.
The appeals court ripped the Justice Department for arguing that Trump's immigration action was not subject to judicial review. The court said, "There is no precedent to support this claimed unreviewability, which runs contrary to the fundamental structure of our constitutional democracy."
The decision by the three-judge panel of the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals to deny a stay of the restraining order does not serve as a ruling on the merits of the ban itself, but puts the Trump administration in a difficult spot.
Trump's team could seek urgent intervention from the Supreme Court, but lifting the ban would require winning over five justices on the eight-justice court. If the high court divides evenly along ideological lines, the block of Trump's ban would stay in place and the immigration ban likely would become a central theme in the battle over Judge Neil Gorsuch's confirmation to the high court.
Should the Trump administration choose to wait for lower courts to proceed further before filing another appeal, the immigration ban could be halted for months. By the time any additional appeal from Trump's team would make it to the Supreme Court, Gorsuch could already be seated on the high court.

President Trump has two options on this specific XO, request direct appeal on this decision to Supreme Court Justice John Brennan who oversees the Ninth Circuit, or take the appeal to the full Supreme Court. U.S. Constitution - Article IV, Section 4: NO BORDERS + NO LAWS = NO COUNTRY
The court has zero standing to stay this constitutional action.

Liberal 9th Circuit Court Rules Against President Trump – Travel Ban Remains Blocked U.S. Constitution - Article IV, Section 4: NO BORDERS + NO LAWS = NO COUNTRY
This particular circuit is the most left leaning of all the appeals courts. The Supremes will likely have to rule on this one. ;) "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one." Edmund Burke
And they will be again. ;) "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one." Edmund Burke
========================================== No telling what John Robers (liberal Catholic) would do. My bet is Trump will rewrite it to keep it out of their scummy hands. U.S. Constitution - Article IV, Section 4: NO BORDERS + NO LAWS = NO COUNTRY
He did vote to say that Obamacare was a tax and forced that grievous package on us all. ;) "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one." Edmund Burke
Additionally, President Trump may choose to rewrite the initial executive order and clarify the purpose and intent to avoid judicial challenge.

The Ninth Circuit Court ruled against President Trump and continued to block his travel ban on Thursday.
The Ninth Circuit is the most liberal court in the country — and is the most reversed court in the country.
Judge Richard R. Clifton, Judge William Canby and Judge Michelle T. Friedland from the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals.
