Apparently Trump is not going to appeal the legal slapdown he received to the Supreme Court, and go another route instead.

More from the Hill:
The Trump administration is not currently planning to appeal a temporary hold on his travel ban to the Supreme Court, a White House official said Friday.
But the White House said it will forge ahead on the broader battle against a lawsuit challenging the executive order.
The administration plans to continue its defense of the order on the merits, which is playing out in a Seattle-based federal district court, the official said.
Well. That’s convenient. I guess he got tired of winning?
UPDATE!!
And it looks like he’s going to write ANOTHER order?
