Prior to President Trump’s inauguration there was speculation as to whether or not he would be subject to the inbuilt checks and balances within the American system of governance. A three-judge panel of the 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals has demonstrated in the most decisive manner possible that Mr Trump is the same as every other American citizen when it comes to the law — there are no exceptions, not even for the President. The court has ruled unanimously that the Trump administration has failed to offer any evidence regarding the national security concerns that were cited as the reasons behind the enactment of the executive order that banned people from seven predominantly Muslim countries from entering the USA. President Trump is not a man who is used to being told he cannot do exactly as he pleases.

  1. The stage is now set for a battle of wills between the Presidency and the Judiciary. Heartland America remains solidly behind the President it elected. The President is popular and his actions even more so.
    First clarification: No battle in pipe line between President and Judiciary as Mr Trump considering to bring minutely and well prepared new travel ban next week. If it is again challenged then we shall see.
    Second: Neither now President popular nor his actions. One of his trust worthy suggested him to differentiate between running owned business company and presidency of USA. He and his close comrades seem undertaking this advise seriously.
    Third. Outside USA he is has become most popular clown specially in Germany. The way he is behaving, unless he drastically changes his behavior, will not long last. Just wait. May be he is impeached prior to 100 days stay in White House.
