A Seattle-based United States federal judge has granted a nationwide temporary restraining order, blocking President Trump’s recent action barring nationals from seven countries from entering the US.
Judge James L Robart’s order represents a major challenge to the Trump administration. The judge declined to stay the order, which means travel restrictions could be lifted immediately.
The restraining order will remain in place until the judge considers state attorney-general Bob Ferguson’s lawsuit challenging key parts of President Trump’s ban as illegal and unconstitutional.
If found illegal, the executive order would be permanently invalidated nationwide.
It is expected that the Trump administration will immediately appeal the restraining order.

This is like watching the Fawlty Towers of politics. I think he's run for presidency for sh!ts and giggles and accidentally became the POTUS. He's probably more surprised than the rest of the world.
Impeachment perhaps, but if he keeps ruining international relations, he could well end up being assassinated. And not by a foreigner from one of the seven countries he wants banned .... it's going to be one of his own just to shut him the hell up.
Hahaha the push back is already happening, Trump and his supporters will not win. :) You cannot refuse to uphold the Constitution, as Trump is doing.
