A federal judge’s decision Monday night may have dealt the strongest blow yet to President Donald Trump’s attempt to keep residents of seven majority-Muslim countries from entering the U.S., even though the decision applies only to Virginia. “What’s really remarkable here is that the president and the government lawyers are saying, ‘This is a national security order,’ and ‘How dare you rule on this,’” UVA law professor Brandon Garrett said. “But the government could offer no evidence that there was a national security basis.”

“The worst part is that Flynn’s vulnerability – his coziness with Putin and Russia – was well known to Trump before his appointment,” said Larry Sabato, a presidential historian at the University of Virginia. “So it’s a self-inflicted wound that underlines again the suspicions about Russia’s influence in Trump’s election and administration.”
