Trump concedes defeat on Muslim ban executive order

Washington (CNN)The Trump administration is not currently planning to appeal the decision blocking its travel ban to the Supreme Court, a source familiar with the matter tells CNN.

The decision to not go to the Supreme Court comes as the White House is examining several options to save So-Called President Trump's controversial executive order on immigration.

"We will win that battle. The unfortunate part is that it takes time statutorily, but we will win that battle. We also have a lot of other options, including just filing a brand new order," Trump told reporters onboard Air Force One Friday evening.

Asked if his plan might be to issue a new executive order, POTUS said: "It very well could be. We need speed for reasons of security, so it very well could be."

In the aftermath of a federal appellate court's decisive blow to Trump's move to ban citizens of seven majority-Muslim countries from entering the United States, the White House is working on "possible tweaks" to the executive order, according to a source in close contact with the White House on national security issues.

Should it write a new order, it would be more narrowly tailored than the one issued two weeks ago, the source said, such as explicitly stating that it does not apply to legal permanent residents.

Trump's strategy is sound.  He could drag this out and litigate for years... or he can rewrite the order to still achieve his objectives in a matter of days.  

It's a simple matter of expediency.  If he drags this all the way to the Supreme Court, he'll eventually win.  But in the meantime, the Liberals' stonewalling and obstruction would have been counterproductive to his goals towards improving our immigration system and border security.

Democrats would have stubbornly taken the court-battle approach because, as Rahm Emanuel succinctly stated, Democrats are more invested in being right than they are at winning.

Trump wins.

Empty mantra motivated by left wing propaganda.  It wasn't enough to win the election, and won't be enough to change anything now.

I think Franklin had great foresight and thought through a fairly comprehensive strategy that if it didn't prevent the dictator in the first place it would prevent him turning the white house into a personal palace.

they wrote it to prevent a man like Trump ruining the nation and setting himself up a dictator. It has to be said the founding fathers of the USA where brilliant men, that protected people that would vote in a self serving dictator from themselves.

It is just good fortune that it is generations later, instead of the 'evil empire striking back' against the US peoples.
