SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — President Donald Trump’s administration says it does not want a larger appellate panel to review a ruling keeping its travel ban on hold and will instead revise the ban.
The administration said in a court filing on Thursday that it will replace the travel ban with a new one in the near future.

Trump lost. He lost so bigly. And unlike his previous court battles as a private citizen, when he settles it’s completely out in the open.
So zero details on what and how this EO will be different than the one being blocked by the courts.
Key question -
will it be so close to the previous order that it results in the issuance of contemp of court sanctions.
Well, you can’t just traipse into court with an executive order already subject to a restraining order , say you’re drafting up a new one, and expect that that will moot the case. So this is just a case of Trump flapping his lips.
Among other things, we should be grateful to be Ninth Circuit for showing us how toothless and Executive Order can be and how chaotic government by fiat is in a country where the legislative function is in another branch of government.
In all seriousness, I think this is just all way too complicated for Donald Trump. He is a pretty simpleminded person and keeping three branches of government in the air at once is obviously too taxing.
I would tend to doubt it.
A new Executive Order will be the subject of a new case. Trump seems to have the impression that now that he is president, he can change the facts of the case that is not going well for him.
I have not heard many comments about this subject, but I am not used to hearing these kinds of pronouncements from the president , as opposed to his attorney general.
Let’s hear from Jeff Sessions! What a hoot that is going to be!
