Thanks for this impressive and, under the time constraints, very comprehensive overview of the issues raised by Trump's Executive Order. I would expect DOJ to press very hard on the President's foreign relations powers and national security discretion, in order to invoke some creditable doctrine of judicial deference and non-review. The Administration certainly has some chance at getting the Court of Appeals it wants, and already has three or four votes at the Supreme Court for a hands-off deference to a unitary and near-plenary presidency. Thinking ahead -- because ahead we are going -- where might a SCOTUS majority stand on these issues??
