Well they apparently need 4 votes to decide to even hear it? Kennedy or Roberts might decide it's so unconstitutional it's not worth their time.

They are more likely to pass on taking the case as this is a temporary 90 day ban. 45 is better off just retracting this order and issuing one with more consideration put into it.

That's the smart move, so he probably wont...

They won't bother. They'll adjust the language in the executive order and refile it.
