    The courts gave Trump great news about his Muslim ban, and almost no one noticed

    “Reasonable” conservatives on the federal bench think Trump should win.

    Two big stories broke Wednesday regarding President Trump’s Muslim ban, but only one of them received the headlines it deserved. Worse, the largely unmentioned story is likely to have much deeper implications for the future than the story that dominated the news.

    The first story, of course, was the fact that a federal judge in Hawai’i ordered a nationwide halt on the latest version of the Muslim ban — at least until the courts can figure out, in Trump’s words, “what the is going on.” Judge Derrick Watson’s decision halting the ban was soon matched by a similar decision by a federal judge in Maryland.

    Meanwhile, the federal appeals court that ruled against the original version of Trump’s Muslim ban announced that it would not disturb that decision. In and of itself, that’s not particularly interesting: appeals courts rarely second-guess decisions by a panel of their own members. What is interesting — and disturbing for opponents of the Muslim ban — is that five judges on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit said Trump should have won his case.

    And the fact that one of these judges in particular sided with Trump is bad news for lawyers hoping that the Muslim ban will ultimately be shut down by the Supreme Court.

    The Ninth Circuit is one of the more liberal federal appeals courts — only 7 of its 25 active judges were appointed by Republican presidents — so the five judges who backed Trump make up the bulk of the court’s Republican-appointed members

    It's not a Muslim Ban. It is targeted on countries with Terrorism issues. TBH, Germany, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey should be included. We need to take down Radical Islamic Terrorism.

    I actually dont have a problem with this revised order. It leaves alone the greencard holders and leaves out the religion . They should have no problem overturning this.

    Of course you do. You are liberal. You don't care about our safety. If someone dies, it is blood on their hands for allowing ISIS to come here disguised as Refugees.

    If you really think that little executive order is going to keep you safe from the Islamic Boogeyman, then I'll keep laughing.

    I'm guessing you don't have the same recent info our President does. He has been briefed about this. What a surprise the attacks of ISIS came from those countries. Though Trump took Iraq off the list due to their help of fighting ISIS. Some bad dudes out there. I would feel safer with Saudi Arabia included on that list. But whatever.

    skipping the official briefing and instead watching Fox & Friends while an intern prints you Infowars articles isn't being "briefed" about anything.
