Trump needs to have a 5-4 court (at a minimum) before he moves ahead at this point. I like the idea of resinding the EO and rewriting a new EO with exception to green card holders.

Reading Dan McLaughlin’s opinion at the link above made me think that it might have been better to break the EO into several individual EO’s. One for the temporary refugee ban. One for the 7 countries. One for Syria. And one for consideration of religious minorities (sections 5b and 5e). Then the court’s broad brush approach would not have been possible.

You are missing the point.

The President is operating on settled law and the Constitution. He doesn't need the permission of ANY court to restrict immigration into this country.

It is the court that is out of line here. They have overstepped their constitutional limit, and don't have any authority to stop the President from doing his legal duty.

You're granting power to the court that they do not have.

Better would be to write several EOs, one for each class of immigrant being barred. Make them have to present a case for each one.
