Weighing in at 173 pages, it is. . . turgid.
In fairness, only the first 33 pages are new; the rest of it represents appendices containing the decisions below -- and collateral materials. I will bet that the Supremes (holding their last in-chambers conference tomorrow, before the court's winter recess) will deny review, and allow the Ninth Circuit to weigh in -- in due course. But I do not expect they will decide that tomorrow. Tomorrow, I expect the Supremes will decide to take the Muslim Ban 3.0 case on appeal from the Ninth Circuit (yet again) -- even without the Fourth Circuit's formal opinion having issued -- yet.
Updated — Friday evening: the Supremes just granted cert., again, in Muslim Ban 3.0 — out of Hawaii. See third comment below, for more. [End update.]
But that -- as they say -- is a horse of another color. All of them are, in my opinion though, manifestations of what the editorial page of The Washington Post tonight called the id -- "of the angry man-child" now taking his residence, such as it is -- at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
I am sorry that his intransigence has likely led to a temporary shutdown -- tomorrow night. But never before in history has one party controlled both halls of Congress, and the White House -- and been unable to pass a budget. Their OWN GOP budget.
That is the ignominious first that the GOP has set here tonight -- with this "porn-star-pay-off-president" leading them. [Forget the "alleged", there. It is a matter of public record, now.] G'night -- and may Saturday be better than Friday is likely shaping up to be. I'll smile, just the same -- with a sweet baby sleepover Saturday night -- pending. . . .

Agreed. This is. . . deplorable.
HRC was right -- the man is soul-less.
His fawning anti-abortion speech was. . . disgusting -- dressed up in a religiosity that he wants no part of, in truth.
And we all know it.
Disgusting. So tomorrow, here in the City of Big Shoulders -- I march -- again.
Along with some 100,000 to 250,000 others -- the very substantial majority of whom will doubtlessly be. . . women.
Namaste.
And the Supremes will hear argument in the April 2018 sitting, on Muslim Ban 3.0 — just as I predicted they would rule, last night.
Onward — to a more perfect union. No decision is likely then, before end of Sumner 2018.
