My fear now...

It is great to see the worldwide outrage at the immigration ban, and also that judges are ruling against this.

My biggest fear, not quite unfounded, is that Trump will not only ignore the judges' orders, but will challenge the entire juduciary. That could be good, but also could be bad. If the judiciary is able to effectively push back, then the constitutional balance of power works. However, we have a man who simply does not take "no" for an answer, and that could make him very dangerous. And who knows what he might order, and what his minions (not the cute little yellow ones with goggle glasses) are willing to do...

Welcome to Nazi/KKK/Christian Taliban nation. They are ruthless, without conscience, and brutal. This is going to get ugly more quickly than anyone anticipates.
