The three news orgs sue the Trump administration today, seeking an injunction immediately. They will surely prevail, given the blatant illegality - which the Trump administration has to have known. Yet no known official refused to enforce the blatantly illegal order- that in fact is the story here.

Given that this is an egregious attack on the First Amendment I would normally assume an injunction would be forthcoming. I'm also delighted that the plaintiffs have Boutrous on their team! Do you anticipate an expedited appeal to SCOTUS regardless of the lower court's decision?

Trump is banning news orgs because he wants to hide the truth: his regime is a cesspool of corruption. He lies, cheats, and steals as he destroys our nation’s democratic principles. Other world leaders consider him a buffoon and a bully, and he has brought nothing but pain and suffering to America.

Not just America, to the world. In Asia Vietnam is suffering. Shortages of gasoline has an impact in Pakistan the Philippines even Egypt is experiencing drastic shortages. Europes LNG storage is at a 15 year low. The "stable genius" is a total disaster

Let's be blunt here: The press have let it come to this because they've spent the last few years lubing up, grabbing their ankles, and waiting for penetration. Telling Trump to go fuck himself at the start of his administration when he threatened to sue them would have seen him back off.

Trump will let them back in, ending the lawsuit. But, he'll make demands on what and how they report. For those of us outside the beltway, the WHPC looks pretty weak anyway so it will be interesting how the press handles it.
