9th Circus is the most liberal out there... and most overturned by Supreme Court so don't expect the law to be followed until we get to the Supreme Court.

What I hope for: Votes to Reinstate the Executive Order
What I think may happen: Some legal experts are saying the states have the edge--the states are arguing the ban was motivated by religious discrimination, BTW. However, this is hopeful: "What Judge Richard Clifton, a George W. Bush nominee, asked an attorney representing Washington state and Minnesota what evidence he had that the ban was motivated by religion. The two states are suing to invalidate the ban. 'I have trouble understanding why we're supposed to infer religious animus when in fact the vast majority of Muslims would not be affected.' Only 15 percent of the world's Muslims are affected, the judge said, citing his own calculations. He added that the "concern for terrorism from those connected to radical Islamic sects is hard to deny."
Whatever the court eventually decides, either side could ask the Supreme Court to intervene.
