Just hours after Hawaii District Judge Derrick Watson imposed a nationwide ban on Trump’s second travel ban, Trump blasted the ruling against the “watered-down version of the first order” which he called an “unprecedented judicial overreach” and said it “makes us look weak” in the fight against terrorism. Trump said the second order had been tailored “to the dictates” of 9th circuit court’s “flawed” ruling and accused the Federal Judge of being “politically motivated.”
Speaking at a campaign rally in Nashville, Tennessee, Trump called the ruling “terrible” and, as we speculated earlier, pledged to take the legal fight all the way to the nation’s highest court. Unlike the first time when his order was blocked, and Trump made the same hollow, at the time threat this time Trump may have no alternative but to indeed go all the way to SCOTUS, unless he wants to drop the matter entirely.
“We’re going to take our case as far as it needs to go, including all the way to the Supreme Court,” Trump said. “And we’re going to win.”
Trump also suggested undoing the changes in the revised ban and revert to the original order, which he added is the one he wanted to do in the first place:: “I think we ought to go back to the first ban, and go all the way,” he added. “That’s what I wanted to do in the first place.”
