ACLU promises to see him in court. Anyone see how this will play out?

Can't check at the moment how it will play out but I'm glad the ACLU has the funds to mount a good case.  They are such a  gift at this time of year. And charitable donations to their organization have been high, thanks for Trump.

I'm very active with my local ACLU, and "in the loop" on things national. Yes, they'll take him to court, but it's going to take years, and given how the SCOTUS is now, unlikely this executive order will get overturned. It may be turned at the federal-appellate level, but the exec branch will keep appealing, spending taxpayer money...
