However I suspect the WH is happy with letting this thing drag out in court. It mobilises the Base against its favorite targets: liberal judges, washington insiders, do gooders, etc.
That will make it a lot easier for Trump to get his legislative agenda through Congress. GOP lawmakers will toe the party line as long as he has 90%+ approval rating among Republicans.
and if, god forbid, a terrorist event does occur on U.S. soil, the Democrats and Courts will get the blame.
All in all, it is a win/win situation for Trump.
It would not surprise me if, as usual, the Democrats and media are being played.
