I see no fiasco. The courts have simply pointed out that the Trump order is illegal. That is their duty and it is to their credit that they have not allowed themselves to be swayed by the mindless rhetoric and bullying spewing forth from the White House.

You keep referring to "refugees and immigrants". While the Trump order aims to stop refugees and immigrants, it is far from limited to them. It applies to anyone with any connection, however tenuous to the seven countries named, including many thousands of people who already have residential rights in the USA.

I refer you to my recent post about a British hero of the Iranian War (fighting alongside US troops) who was at first refused entry to the USA simply because he had an Iranian stamp in his passport.

I'll rephrase my first statement. It is indeed a fiasco, but it is entirely of Trump's making.
