The next day, attorneys general from 22 states sued to block the Executive Order by asserting that the President is attempting to eliminate “a well-established and longstanding Constitutional principle” by executive fiat. But is he?

In his year end report on federal courts, Chief Justice John Roberts may have tipped his hand as to how he’ll rule in one of the cases….or did he?
