Peter, NO ONE can argue better than you, as you are indisputably the King of Reason. I am endlessly impressed.

So now, what is the actual remedy that can be enacted? If Trump issues another EO, will that, in practice, make the ruling void? There has been talk of passing another Constitutional Amendment, but that is - by design - very difficult, and takes years. There has been suggestions of congressional acts, but again, very difficult politically. Can Trump just ignore this ruling, or do you see another path for him?

One problem is the process of appointing a Judge to SCOTUS. Nominated by the President and confirmed by the Senate. All are Politicritters. Politics influences the process of seating a Justice.

Its not a totally independent Judiciary; is there a better process?

I’m still unclear on exactly what this ruling did. Did it abolish even the exceptions carved out in Wong Kim Ark? We need a more detail forensic analysis.

Excellent. Now if Trump will issue another EO we will be home free!
