President Donald Trump condemned a federal appeals court’s decision to maintain a temporary suspension of his immigration executive order as “disgraceful.”

The dispatch, from Trump’s personal Twitter account, came at 8:15 a.m. ET Friday:

The tweet references a blog post from the editor-in-chief of Lawfare, Benjamin Wittes. In the post, Wittes wrote that he supports the court’s decision, but added that it was “a pretty big omission” to leave out any mention of a law granting the President broad authority to limit immigration.

On Thursday night, after the court’s decision was announced, Trump declared on Twitter: “SEE YOU IN COURT.”
