President Trump issued his all new and improved Muslim ban on March 6, to take effect just after midnight on March 16. And, just as with the original version, suits challenging it were immediately filed. On March 15, both the federal courts in Hawaii and Maryland ordered a halt to the ban before it could take effect. So, for the last couple of days, pundits have been jawing about whether the court orders were correct and what fate the ban would meet in the Supreme Court. Commentators are split on the first question, but everyone seems pretty sure about the second. Every one that I saw declared that if this case gets to the Supreme Court, the vote would be 4-4, but if Judge Gorsuch is confirmed by then, the president’s ban would be upheld, 5-4.
