The Western District of Washington is part of the Ninth Circuit, which has the highest rate for being overturned as well as the highest rate for unanimous reversals.

Coughenour is 84 and never moved beyond the District Court level—which suggests he’s not the sharpest legal mind on the District bench.

There will be hearings, and Trump will probably lose at the District and at the Circuit level.

Eventually this gets to the Supreme Court. How that goes depends entirely on how closely the Justices read Wong Kim Ark. No prediction on how the Supreme Court will rule.

When it gets that far I may see if I can file an amicus brief laying out my reasoning on why Wong doesn’t apply to illegal aliens.
